Mather's Moseley Massive win Midlands Mosconi Team 9 Ball Event!

Rileys Moseley, led by GB9 Ball Tour Professional Jonathan Mathers, have taken the title of Midlands Mosconi Cup Champions 2008.

After a gruelling day of play which saw them steal the top place in their group from Rack n Roll by winning their final singles match, dominate Solihull �A� in their semi final with a 6-2 scoreline before continuing their strong form to take down Solihull �B� in the final 6-1.

Both of the home teams made it comfortably through the group stage (they had randomly been drawn into the same group!). Where the Solihull �A� couldn�t find a way past the mighty Moseley in their semi-final showdown, Solihull �B� fought a tough and very close match against the current champions Rack n Roll which was undecided after all doubles and singles matches had been completed, as so was decided by two scotch trebles matches.

This match really did have everything including a dispute over playing order when the match was hill-hill but although Rack n Roll were handed the table following intervention from tournament director Andy Warden, they were unable to clear the table and let the home team back to finish the job and face Moseley in the final.
