Runner-Up Andy Nicholson joins Winner Rico Diks, celebrating their achievement

Rico "Ricochet" Diks wins RnB Open

Although originally advertised as a "limited to 40 entries" event, this event organised by Chris Billings was well subscribed and actually accommodated 43 runners, drawing some quality players despite many being away for the Euro Tour.

Rico Diks won the big golden trophy and the main cash prize after an outstanding display of pool in the final, the Dutchman played near perfect pool, with Mile End's Andy Nicholson taking the silver trophy for his efforts.

Action from the R'n'B Open

Length of race extended this year

Despite the expected lower turn-out than last year, this event was still over-subscribed, and with just over 40 players the races were able to be extended from last year's race-to-five format, to race-to-six this year. Having said that, some players would still prefer longer races, saying that such short races can make it hard for the better players to guarantee a win.

I don't know about that, but although there were many players at this event that were capable of winning it, I do think Rico was the favourite at the start of the tournament, and sure enough, he was favourite at the end too!

Who knows... But adding to the conspiracy theory is the strange pattern of scores in the last 16 stage. No less than 75% of the matches finished with the exact same score... 6-2 What are the odds of that happening???

Spooky!

UK Government sponsored player?

There were some fascinating snippets of news and chat to be had at The R'n'B Open - for instance, did you know Wayne Fryer was the first (and possibly the only) person to actually received a wage from the UK Government to play pool?

Well, it's true!

When he was younger, with a very enterprising proposition he approached the Government funded Youth Training Scheme (remember the YTS?) and actually got paid to play pool all day as a trainee... Brilliant!

Wayne's run at this event ended with a very respectable finish in the semi-final stage of the main event, just managing to get to the cash prize stages... Exactly the same finishing place as last year for Wayne - now that's consistent!
