Unstoppable Daryl Peach wins... EVERYTHING!!!
It's GB 9 Ball Tour time again - and this time it's the most Southern of the tour events - the nearest tour stop to London of the whole season. Players from across the continent will be flying into Great Britain for the first event of its kind as the 2013 GB9 Southern Masters takes place at the stunning Radisson Blu Hotel at Stansted Airport.
It appears that nothing was going to stop Daryl Peach today, as he took the GB9 Main Event final and the GB9 World Pool Masters Qualifier with very one-sided results - both over the very capable Karl Boyes.
A full official report will appear here later in the week, but in the meantime, please enjoy these bonus photos, and we'll be uploading some videos as soon as possible too.

CHINA'S HAN YU ROMPS TO THE 2013 WOMEN'S WORLD 9-BALL CHAMPIONSHIP WITH A 9-1 WIN OVER CHINESE-TAIPEI'S LIN YUAN CHUN
BY TED LERNER
WPA PRESS OFFICER
Its true that hard work and perseverance do pay off.
Han Yu, who joined Chinas national billiard team five years ago when she was just 16 years old, finally fulfilled the dream that she and her coaches knew would someday come. And what a way to do it. In front of several hundred people watching inside the Richgate Shopping Center in Shenyang, and an estimated audience of nearly 100 million people watching on Chinas state television, Han completely outclassed Taiwans Lin Yuan Chun, 9-1, and won the 2013 WPA Womens World 9-ball Championship.
Hans victory means that Chinese players have won four out of the last five Womens World 9-ball Championships. The win also cemented the fact that, but for a few exceptions, the epicentre of womens 9-ball pool is well ensconced in China.
For the last few years, the talented Han has noticeably taken a bit of a back seat to the more high profile players on Chinas national team, such as Liu Shasha, Fu Xiaofang, and Chen Siming. But that all ended today with a scorching performance against Lin. Han now sits atop the pool world. And with her talent and noticeable confidence, she can only be expected to achieve even more.
Interestingly Han very nearly didnt even qualify for the knockout round of 32. She had to win a 9-8 squeaker just to get a spot in the round of 32. Once through, however, she was barely challenged, as she displayed a panache and bravery that couldnt be touched.

9-Ball Champions: Susanne Wessel and Tom Storm
Championship ended with 9-ball finals
The Dynamic Billard EPBF European Championships for Seniors and Ladies have come to and end. The last finals which were played in 9-ball brought titles for Susanne Wessel (GER) and Tom Storm (SWE).
Tom Storm defeated Johny Vanrijkel (BE) in the senior's final with 9:3. Storm was expected for a title earlier and it was his turn. Vanrijkel has played a solid and great tournament but in this final, he missed too many shots and made Storm's life rather easy. The 9:3 victory for Storm was completely deserved.
In the ladies' final, Susanne Wessel clearly eliminated Ann-Sofie Lfgren (SWE) with 6:1. Wessel took her second title this week while Lfgren collected her third medal at these Championships, two Silver and one Bronze.

64 GREATS OF THE WOMEN'S GAME WILL CLASH IN HISTORIC SHENYANG, CHINA
BY TED LERNER
WPA PRESS OFFICER
From the ancient imperial city will rise the new queen of 9-ball.
Thats the intriguing scenario this week as the worlds best women pool players take center stage in the beautiful and historical city of Shenyang, China, as the 2013 WPA Womens World 9-ball Championship gets underway with qualifiers August 6-8, and the main event August 9-12.
This is the 5th straight year that the Womens World 9-ball Championship has taken place in Shenyang, which sits very near the border with North Korea. The citys history goes back 2300 years and was once the very center of Chinese culture and society in the 1600s, before Beijing emerged as the new capital. Today the bustling metropolis of nearly 8 million people is one of Chinas key manufacturing hubs. The main attraction for visitors today is the sprawling grounds of the fascinating centuries old imperial palace.
Whether ancient or modern, its clear success and grandeur have long been at the very heart of Shenyangs fabric. And thus the city offers the perfect environs to bring out the best among the greats of the game of womens pool.
Defending champion Kelly Fisher of Great Britain achieved her greatest triumph here last year, when she won her very first World 9-ball championship with a brilliant run through a stacked field of the worlds best. Fishers victory, cemented with a 9-6 finals win over Chinas number one, Fu Xiaofang, was a milestone on many levels for the affable Brit.
With the career defining win, Fisher not only vaulted to the top of the womens game worldwide, she also stemmed the tide of what looked to be absolute domination by a freight train full of incredible Chinese talent.
The first three years in Shenyang had produced all home side winners. In 2009 16 year old Liu Shasha came out of nowhere to win the world title. The next year Fu Xiaofang fulfilled her promise of greatness by winning the title. Then in 2011, tiny and boyish looking unknown Bi Zhu Qing shocked everyone by storming through the field to take an unlikely world title.

Gold Medalists Barbara Bolfelli and Reiner Wirsbitzki
Bolfelli and Wirsbitzki claimed the titles in 10-ball
The finals of the 10-ball individuals have been played. In the seniors division, Reiner Wirsbitzki (GER) took the Gold Medal. The title in the ladies division was snatched by Barbara Bolfelli (ITA).
The senior's final was tight and went along back and forth. Wirsbitzki's opponent Vegar Kristiansen (NOR) was a tough opposition. The German got momentum first and got a small two rack advantage over Kristiansen taking a 3:1 lead. Then it was Kristiansen who fired back and capitalized from Wirsbitzki's mistakes. But Kristiansen had two big problems in the final: He could not get a position on the 1-ball after his break shot and he could not get the pace of the table. Very often, Kristiansen played the cue ball at the wrong speed. However, he managed to get on top of Wirsbitzki with 5:3. In the 9th rack, he could have made it to the hill when Wirsbitzki missed a make-able 5-ball but he scratched when he got to the table. Wirsbitzki grew strong when he saw that Kristiansen could not finish the match. Now he went along and pocketed balls, winning rack after rack. In the end, Wirsbitzki won the match deservedly with 7:5 and claimed the first Gold Medal for Germany in this tournament.
The ladies final was not so tight. Bolfelli dealt with Ann-Sofie Lfgren from Sweden. After four racks Bolfelli was leading 3:1. Then, Lfgren got the chance to get a rack back from Bolfelli but she pocketed the 10-ball and scratched. That brought Bolfelli to a comfortable 4:1 lead. The 6th rack brought the decision. Lfgren didn't come up with any more resistance and finally had to give in to stronger Bolfelli.
The event will continue tomorrow with team and 8-ball competition.

Buck Takes away the Bucks at T9B National Series Event 4 in Bristol
James Buck may have come into this event as a underdog but he soon removed that tag. Buck is a regular snooker player who has competed in a few PTCs and has won every trophy available for snooker in Bristol. After speaking with James yesterday it became clear that this guy needs a challenge and what better way to challenge yourself than competing in a high standard 9ball event with a 20 cue on just 5 hours total practice. James Bucks event began with a tricky match up against local 9ball superstar Jon Davies. Jon has been off the scene for a about a year but you could still see his class, this match was a battle from start to finish as racks went one way and then the other. James keep his composure and his solid well practiced snooker cue action held up to the pressure as he sunk the final 9ball to win 7v5. This event was run as a 2x double chance comp therefore it wasnt long before Buck was back in action and he converted another confidence boosting 7v5 win this time over Sean Dracup.
Other results from the first round saw Phil Wildman defeat Rattapol Sassmann 7v5 and Chris Parker 7v6 (from 5v1 down). Jon Davies after losing to Buck got back into winning form after a tight 7v6 victory over Tony Phillips. Clive Bentley won 7v3 against Yuk Chan. Sam Sherwood hit top gear as he won his first two matches 7v4 and 7v5 over Dominic Clements and Ken Ng respectively. Mark Parker's day also began with two wins as Mark looked to continue his fine current form, Parker dropped 7 racks across his first two matching as he advanced to round two 7v3 (Steven Cuthbert) and 7v4 (Rattapol Sassmann).

Aslam Abubaker & Roy Kimberley
Abubaker takes Kamui 9-Ball Shootout, but Kimberley stays top of rankings
Escape Pool Bar in Barnsley was the venue for the 3rd BWPPA event of the season on 20/21 July 2013.
Aslam Abubaker won his first tour event in almost 3 years by beating Roy The Sandman Kimberley in the final.
Abubaker went into the event on the back of some great form on the Total 9 Ball Tour.
Again we had a great turnout as 17 players entered, with Irelands Fred Dinsmore yet again making the trip, and he had real determination to better his performances in the previous few BWPPA events.
Abubaker got his campaign off to a great start with a 7-3 win over Phil Hendrickson, who was the one to avoid in the first round, as he is a regular top 3-4 ranked player.
Abubakers next win was must closer as he beat Dinsmore 7-6 in a battle of the big hitters.
In the next round it was back on familiar ground as he again faced high ranked Phil Hendrickson. This was a great match which Abubaker took with a 7-5 win and advance to the semi-final where he would meet Tony Southern.
Southern had beaten John Greensmith 7-3, Frankie Gillen 7-2 and relative newcomer Roger Hales 7-3. This was a high quality match with both players playing some good pool, however it was Abubaker who advanced into the final with a 7-4 score line.

Dynamite wins Gold Medal at 2013 World Games
It wasn't easy - but he's done it - Darren Appleton overcame a host of challenges and challengers to get the gold - not least in the final race to 11 match against Taiwan's Jung-Lin Chang, when, with the score at 10-9 in Darren's favour he simply couldn't wait any longer to take a "bathroom break".
Well.. When you've got to go, you've got to go - but when he came back, the referee penalised him with a 1 rack forfeit, so now the score was 10:10 and it was Chang to break.
Chang won the WPA World 8 Ball Championship title in 2012, so he's certainly no pushover, and Darren would consider himself lucky to get another shot - fortunately, he did, and even managed to hold his nerve to run the final rack to claim the title.
The culmination of what had been an emotional week showed in the completely spontaneous celebration which took the form of what looked like an ill-judged attempt at a back-flip with his cue flying into the air to the sound of a tumultuous cheer from the huge crowd of spectators!
