Frankie Gillen - Ended the year at the top of the BWPPA Challenge Division
Riley’s Barnsley Tour Stop 4 - 29th-30th October 2010
The final event of the 2010 Dynamic Wheelchair 9-Ball Tour boasted the second largest field of the season with 18 top class wheelchair pool players descending on Rileys Barnsley in a bid to end the year on a high. Leicester cueman Aslam Abubaker took the title of 2010 British Wheelchair 9-Ball Champion, reaching his second final in three events he’s entered this year, Aslam defeated Tony Southern 7-1 in the final of the Main Event. Tony had played solid all the way through the event until the final where Aslam was to be the stronger player. Abubaker came through the field undefeated which given the quality of the tour is no mean feat. Fellow Midlander Roy Kimberley holds onto his #1 spot at the top of the Main rankings yet again despite crashing out of the Main Event at the quarter-finals stage, losing 7-5 to Danny Luton. The tour also welcomed a newcomer Phil Hendrickson from Cardiff, a top quality player who came through the one loss side only to get beat in the last 8 7-5 by the eventual Champion Aslam Abubaker, we would like to see Phil at more events in the future.
In the Challenge side of the draw Frankie Gillen ends the year at the top of the second tier of the tour despite losing in the first round at Barnsley to the eventual Challenge Champion BWPPA Chairman Matthew “The Mole” Gleaves who beat Haider Sheikh 5-3 in the Challenge Cup final after beating Craig Welsh in the semi final 5-1. The Mole also retains his number 2 ranking on the Main Event final rankings for 2010.

REANNE Evans has smashed Kelly Fisher’s record of 69 consecutive matches
Two days after her 25th birthday, the six-time world champion extended her remarkable winning streak to 72 with victory in the East Anglian Championship at Cambridge Snooker Centre.
Her last defeat was on March 1, 2008, when Maria Catalano clawed back a two-frame deficit to win 3-2 in the Connie Gough National final in Luton.
Evans, from Dudley, West Midlands, passed Fisher’s total with a 3-0 quarter-final win against Surrey ’s Marianne Williams.
The world number one recalled playing the all-conquering Fisher many years ago and thinking “that’s what I want to do”.
“I’ve got there!” she said. “It’s nice to have the record.”

Chris Melling finally stamps his name into 9 ball history
It's been a long time coming for those of us who have admired his playing style and pace on the big ball table for nearly a decade, but at long last Chris "The Magician" Melling has received the official recognition of the ability that he has always possessed, with the winner's trophy at the Portugal Euro Tour event in Albufeira.
The Dynamic Portugal Open Champion certainly didn't have an easy run through the field as he faced champion after champion with the likes of Germany's Christian Reimering and Oliver Ortmann, both previous Euro Tour champions, obstructing his route to the trophy. But beat them he did, along with a strong performance over Poland's very capable Karol Skowerski in the semi-finals. That 9-1 victory and a break between that and the final match may have helped the WEPF World 8-ball Champion to push through Spain's very talented Carlos Cabello in the final.
Melling's good natured attitude and approachable demeanour means everyone has a bit of a soft spot for him, and this victory will be welcomed with open arms back in England!

HOLLAND’S Nick Van den Berg, a recent winner of the Finnish Open on the Euro Tour, is today named as the fifth and final member of the team to represent Europe at December’s PartyCasino.com Mosconi Cup.
Taking place at the historic York Hall, East London from 9-12 December, the event will signal Van den Berg’s fourth appearance in the competition following a win in 2002, a defeat in ’03 and a draw in ‘06.
“I’m over the moon about this, it’s so good to be back in the team,” said a thrilled Van den Berg.
The 30 year-old from Amsterdam received a Mosconi baptism of fire as a 22 year-old in 2002 when he was part of that magnificent team that triumphed for the first time since 1995.
“I never thought it would be that big and me teaming up with the Nugget, Steve Davis was unbelievable. I remember the fans singing songs with my name in it during the time outs - that was crazy!
“The York Hall arena was something else. You could still smell the blood and tears that the boxers and pool players had spilled over the years and the atmosphere was just unbelievable.

Mika Immonen, the current WPA World No.1 ranked player, is today announced as the fourth player on the European side for the forthcoming PartyCasino.com Mosconi Cup, which takes place at the York Hall, East London from 9-12 December.
It will be the Finnish star’s 14th Mosconi Cup appearance; a record he will be sharing with Ralf Souquet and Johnny Archer. He made his debut in 1996 at the Goresbrook Leisure Centre in Dagenham and played uninterrupted until 2007 when he missed the trip to Las Vegas.
However, he returned to the fray in 2008 when he put on his best ever Mosconi show as he won five matches, including the final game of the tournament to help Europe to their biggest ever victory.
"I'm thrilled to go back to my birthplace, London for the Mosconi Cup!” said delighted Immonen.
“It being held at York Hall is massive. I remember the atmosphere being so electric, you could cut the air with a knife.
