Phil Burford in action at the Chesterfield 9 Ball Open.

More pocket money for Burford as he cleans up at Chesterfield

Despite some very stiff competition, Phil Burford seems to sweep up at every event he attends lately, and is definitely the man you need to beat if you want to do well in these regional tournaments.

Many congratulations to the Organiser and Tournament Director, Kev Simpson, who was very happy with the turn-out and facilities at Chesterfield, and proclaimed, "This, I believe, was the best event I have run."

Hofstatter beats Jasmine Ouschan by narrowest of margins

An all Austrian final in the Women's Straight Pool event kept the home crowds happy in the Alps this weekend, as Gerda Hofstatter scored the requisite 75 points to take the gold medal and the prestigious title, beating fellow Austrian, Jasmin Ouschan by a thrilling 5 points margin. Unlike Ouschan, Hofstatter's victory came the hard way, battling though the one-loss side of the draw. Germany's Janine Schwan and Louise Furberg from Sweden filled out the bronze medal positions.

In the men's 14.1 event Switzerland's Dimitri Jungo had a narrow escape in the very first preliminary round with a marginal 125-121 win over Poland's Radoslaw Babica, but from then on it was plain sailing, as he appeared to cruise through the opposition, finally beating Niels Feijen from the Netherlands by a more comfortable 125-74 score in the final, despite a strong performance from Feijen throughout.

In fact, it was the Dutchman who actually looked good for the title as he was rarely pushed in the whole event. From his premature victory in the prelims with only 57 points on the scoreboard, a result of Drago's match forfeit, through to the semi-finals, none of his opponents managed to threaten the second half of the scoreboard - until Jungo of course!

As for the Brit's, it was World 10 Ball Champion Darren Appleton who had high hopes for this event, and he was the one who got deepest into this event, but the dreaded early morning matches put paid to his ambitions, eventually bowing out to Poland's Thomasz Kaplan in the Last 16 stage.

GB9 supremo Imran Majid fell to another Pole, Mateusz Sniegocki in the round before the single elimination, and London resident Tony Drago lost out by a slim 125-111 margin in the same round to Swede, Jan Lundell.

Hungry Hundal wants more...

With the 2009 PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters a little more than three weeks away, former Champion Raj Hundal insists he is hungry for more success.

Hundal, 27, enjoyed the finest moment of his career to date in 2005 when he recovered from a 6-0 and 7-1 deficit against Rodney Morris in the final to lift the Masters trophy.

He has not been in the event though for the last two seasons and Hundal is desperate to win the prestigious invitational tournament again.

"In my mind, I'm going there to win this title," said Hundal, who is in intensive training for the competition which takes place from 8-10 May at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas. "It would show I'm back and prove that the first victory I hadn't just got lucky.

"But you make your own luck when you play this game and if you watch back the videos from 2005 you will see I outplayed my opponents.

"I beat Thomas Engert, the defending champion, and against Rodney I was 6-0 and 7-1 down so you can't get lucky to win from there - I played lights out pool."

Tabb To Referee Crucible Final

Michaela Tabb will become the first woman to referee snooker's biggest match when she takes charge of the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship final on May 3 and 4.

Tabb, from Dunfermline, has been officiating on the professional Tour since 2001 and has climbed gradually through the ranks to become one of the sport's best respected referees. She has presided over two ranking finals, the 2007 Welsh Open and the recent Bank of Beijing 2009 World Snooker China Open, as well as the 2008 Masters final at Wembley. She is now set to step up to the highest platform by donning the white gloves for the showpiece final at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

"When I started out, I couldn't possibly have imagined that I'd come this far," said the 41-year-old from Dunfermline in Scotland. "My only ambition was to be a good referee. It was only after I'd been on the circuit for around three years, when I realised I had the ability, that I felt had the potential to get this far," said the former Ladies European Pool champion.

SUNDERLAND 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND-UP

Thanks to everyone who turned out for our very first 9-ball competition of the year on Tuesday night, it was a really good and exciting event with some big surprises, and an excellent turnout of local lads and touring pros alike.

Some of the top names in the SPPL were in action on the night, Hopeful Steve Dawson was overcome 7-2 by Simon Gardner, before Anthony Miller was taken out by our very own Marc Smith (7-4). Chris Cowie was in relentless form through the early rounds, but he met his match in Graham Hickman who's dazzling performance took him as far as the semis, before tour pro Phil Burford ran in two racks to beat the SPPL favourite 7-5.

In the bottom half of the Draw, Steve Thompson was quietly making his way through the field, winning a scrappy game Adam Smith in the second semi-final of the evening (7-4) to take him into the final with Burford. By then though Burford was in great touch, and displayed a masterclass of 9-ball, running out the final 4 racks to finish 7-1 and take first prize and title of Sunderland 9-ball Champion 2009.

We want to again give thanks to everyone who helped organize and showed interest in the competition, we will be organizing more 9-ball events later in the season, so watch this space! If you needed any proof that the SPPL is becoming the driving force in pool in the Northeast, it was that we were able to pull this off!
