Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here. Taiwan looking the part as round two continues
Round 2 Scores Austria (5) 7-2 France Romania 7-5 Indonesia Chinese Taipei (4) 7-3 Poland (13) THERE WERE three more second round matches today at the Dafabet World Cup of Pool as minnows Romania continued their great run with a come-from-behind win over Indonesia. Austria and Chinese Taipei both had comfortable wins to set up a quarter-final clash on Saturday afternoon; Austria put paid to French hopes while Chinese Taipei scotched the chances of a decent-looking Polish side. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year. In the opening game Austria reached the quarter-finals for the second consecutive year as they comfortably defeated France 7-2. Mario He and Albin Ouschan looked an improvement on their first round match and will be a force to be reckoned with at the weekend. The French duo of Stephan Ouschan and Alex Montpellier were a little off the pace but got the score to 2-2 after losing the first two racks. The matched turned quite quickly as Montpellier swerved out of a snooker, caught the 1 ball but scratched to leave Ouschan a 1/9 combination. They followed that with a golden break to go to swiftly move to 4-2. The burly He seemed to have worked out the break as he crunched the pack open with some old-school power and a miss from Montpellier allowed them to increase the lead. When Ouschan tied the French up in an inescapable snooker the writing was on the wall and the Austrians ran out 7-2 winners. Commented Ouschan, “It was a very good performance, they struggled early in the match and we took our chances to take the lead. We don’t care who we play next because they are both tough teams.”

Click the image to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here. England A through as Japan oust Holland
Round 1 Scores England B (15) 7-4 Sweden Round 2 Scores Japan (14) 7-6 Holland (3) England A (1) 7-0 Korea (16) ENGLAND A AND JAPAN became the first two teams through to the quarter finals of the 2015 Dafabet World Cup of Pool as they enjoyed contrasting victories against Korea and Holland respectively. England A, closing the evening, trounced Korea in the only white-wash of the event so far while Japan won a fabulous hill-hill battle against the Dutch. England can look forward to Romania or Indonesia in Saturday’s quarter finals while Japan face either Qatar or the Czech Republic. In the other match of the evening England B completed the first round of matches with a 7-4 win over Sweden. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year.
Holland won’t be repeating their recent runs to the semi-finals of the World Cup of Pool as they lost a thrilling round two match, 7-6 to Japan. The Japanese team consisting of the flamboyant joker Naoyuki Oi and the more restrained Toru Kurabayashi seemed to enjoy every minute of it as they held off the highly fancied Niels Feijen and Nick van den Berg to squeeze out the win. Japan lead 3-1, 5-3 and then 6-4 before Holland squared it up with Feijen breaking for the match. A loose break though saw the cue ball squirt into the centre pocket to give ball in hand to the Japanese. With a 7/9 combo set perfectly, they worked their way through the balls until Kurabayashi came to the game ball. ‘9 ball! Can’t miss!’ shouted Oi which heaped the pressure on his partner but he steadied himself to seal a superb win. Oi was delighted to reach his country’s third quarter-final in the ten years of the World Cup; “We are thrilled to get through! Holland is one of the best teams here and they gave us a very tough game but we came through. “We like to have fun and make the crowd have fun and it is great to play to this audience. We want to carry on playing in this way and we believe we can win this World Cup. “When I set up the 7/9, I knew Toru would not miss it and he didn’t. There were some big moments in that match but we took our chance when it came at hill-hill,” he added.

Round 1 Scores Czech Republic 7-3 Spain (11) Finland (10) 7-4 Belgium Singapore 7-5 Greece (7) TWO MORE seeded teams crashed out of the 2015 Dafabet World Cup of Pool as the penultimate session of round one matches continued at the York Hall. The #11 seeds Spain were well beaten by unfancied Czech Republic while the seventh seeded Greece were overturned by Singapore. The other match saw former champions Finland enjoy a tidy win over Belgium. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year. In a low quality match with plenty of errors, the Czech Republic had too much to the Spanish pair of the two Franciscos (Diaz-Pizarro & Sanchez Ruiz). In particular Sanchez Ruiz had a bit of a nightmare as he had a couple of glaring misses that helped the Czechs on their way. Roman Hybler and Michal Gavenciak, who had reach the quarter-finals of the inaugural World Cup of Pool back in 2006, pulled away from 3-3 after being guilty of early errors themselves. The turning point was the seventh rack as Gavenciak refused an open 6 ball in favour of laying a telling snooker. The Spanish failed to escape and with ball in hand the score became 4-3. From a powerful Gavenciak break in the eighth the Czechs ran out, and a 2/9 combo in the next made it 6-3. Spain could not recover as the Czechs booked a second round match against Qatar. Commented Hybler, “We are really pleased to be into the second round. At the start of the match there was a lot of pressure for both teams and you could feel it. When we went 4-3 up I felt more confident and we made some good shots.

Click the image to view the full size poster - use "back" to return here. USA tumbles out as Holland and Philippines march on
Round 1 Scores Qatar 7-5 USA (6) Holland (3) 7-3 India Philippines (2) 7-4 Russia THERE was another big upset as day two of the Dafabet World Cup of Pool played out at the York Hall, London on Wednesday evening. This time it was the USA who crumbled, going down to Qatar who looked the part and definitely played it. In the other matches Holland had a comfortable win against India after getting off to a great start and the Philippines steamrollered Russia after losing the early exchanges. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year. In the opening game Team USA (Mike Dechaine and Shane Van Boening) were left shell-shocked as they fell at the first hurdle to a lively Qatari team in front of a large noisy crowd. The score was 7-5 but there was no doubting the superior team on the day.
The Qatar team of Waleed Majid and Bashar Hussain played two superb racks to take the early lead at 2-0 and settle any nerves. The USA came back into it but trailing 2-3 Dechaine scratched while potting the 7 ball. That made it 4-2 to Qatar before the USA took the next to stay on their heels. Qatar moved that to 5-3 with a 7/9 combo, before America won the 9th and then broke and ran to level it at 5-5. They couldn’t press home the advantage though and an outstanding 3/8/9 combo from Bashar Hussain put Qatar on the hill. The axe fell in rack 12 when Van Boening caught an attempted safety on the 1 ball too thick and scratched. Qatar nearly made a mess of it with ball in hand but Waleed saved it with a nerveless bank on the 8 ball to set up the win. Commented jubilant Waleed; “I am very excited to have beaten America. We didn’t just play for Qatar, we played for all Arab countries. Our federation has supported Qatari players well and we hope we can repeat this performance in the next match.

Click the image to view the full size poster - use "back" to return here. No upsets as WCoP action continues at the York Hall
Round 1 Scores Poland (13) 7-3 New Zealand Chinese Taipei (4) 7-5 Estonia Japan (14) 7-3 Italy THERE were comfortable wins for seeded teams Poland, Chinese Taipei and Japan as action continued in East London in the first round of the Dafabet World Cup of Pool. The opening day had seen a host of upsets with Germany, China and Canada departing but everyone stuck to the script and survived to reach round 2. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year. Chinese Taipei, one of the highly fancied teams here in London this week, overcame an Estonian team of Dennis Grabe and Erki Erm, winning by a 7-5 scoreline. Estonia took the opening rack before Erm missed an easy 9 ball to go 2-0 and allowed Ko Pin Yi and Chang Yu Lung to take four consecutive legs for a 4-1 lead. The Estonian pair battled and enjoyed some fortune but in the end it was the Taiwanese who took the match 7-5. Ko and Chang certainly have the pedigree to become the first team from their nation to lift the World Cup and they should only improve from this performance as they look ahead to their second round match against Poland.

Round 1 Scores Indonesia 7-3 Germany (9) England A (1) 7-5 Australia Austria (5) 7-5 Peru DEFENDING CHAMPIONS ENGLAND A safely made their way through to the second round of the Dafabet World Cup of Pool but they had to come from behind to overcome a game Australian pair of Robby Foldvari and Chris Calabrese to do so. In other Tuesday night matches, former champions Germany were dumped out of the event by an amped-up Indonesian team and Austria took care of Peru by a 7-5 scoreline. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year. After an afternoon of seeds falling, Germany were the next ranked team to be taken to the cleaners as the confident Indonesian pair of Bewi Muhammad Simanjuntak and Irsal Nasution got the better of them by a 7-3 score-line. Despite their lofty seeding of 9, the German pair of Ralf Souquet and Thorsten Hohmann was never at the races as the Indonesians moved into a 4-1 lead. That soon became 6-2 and despite the Germans taking the ninth game it was to be their final contribution to the match. A delighted Muhammad Simanjuntak, “In the first match there is always a bit of pressure but we have had very good preparation for this tournament. Our plan was to just enjoy the games and do our best. Nine-ball is a game where anything can happen, like Romania beat China earlier today.

BWPPA Tour - Event No.4 - The Kamui 9-Ball Shootout

2015 BWPPA Ranking Event No.4 - The Kamui 9-Ball Shootout Escape Pool Bar 47-51 Peel Street Barnsley S70 2RL 01226 779 347 www.bwppa.com
Saturday/Sunday 5/6 September 2015
Dinsmore does the double, and retains the Kamui 9-Ball shootout.
Escape Pool Bar in Barnsley was the venue for the 4th BWPPA event of the season on 5/6 September 2015.
Ireland’s Fred Dinsmore won his 2nd tour event in a row beating Aslam Abubaker in the final.
Dinsmore went into the event as one of 3 players still in realistic contention for the no.1 spot at the end of the season, which not only brings with it its own prestige but also a cue from our generous friends at Predator.
After the first round Dinsmore got his campaign off to a good start with a hard fought 7-5 win over Daniel Lee, and then he went into battle with old foe Roy Kimberley and beat him 7-4.

Round 1 Scores Korea (16) 7-6 Malaysia Romania 7-4 China ( 8 ) France 7-6 Canada (12) THE 2015 DAFABET WORLD CUP OF POOL got underway today with three first round matches and there were a couple of upsets as two-time champions China crashed out to qualifiers Romania and then France squeezed past the seeded Canada in a deciding rack. Taking place at the York Hall in London, the Dafabet World Cup of Pool features 32 two-man teams from around the globe competing for a $250,000 prize fund. Televised live in over 40 countries around the world, the event is now entering its tenth year. No.8 seeds China had a torrid time of it at the hands of qualifiers Romania who were making their debut in the competition. They put on a tremendous show to take the match 7-4.
In 2011 the Chinese as defending champions crashed out to qualifiers Switzerland in Manila and it was a similar story this time. The Romanian pair of Babken Melkonyan & Ioan Ladanyi looked in control throughout the match and they moved into a 4-0 lead to leave their opponents – Liu Haitao and two-time World Cup of Pool winner Li Hewen – looking bemused.

2015 GB9 Northern Masters Champion – Michael Rhodes Click the picture to view the full size photograph - use "back" to return here. SHOTGUN MISFIRES AS RHODES TAKES MAIDEN MAIN EVENT
The Northern Masters final of 2015 was contested by two players already having had a taste of victory this season. They were Michael Rhodes, winner of February’s Pro Cup, and Craig Osborne, reigning Paul Medati Trophy champion and looking for his second major in a row. Rhodes had to work mighty hard in his opening match with Martyn Taylor, and it was Taylor who snatched a last-gasp 9-8 win to send Rhodes into the losers bracket where he faced Dean Sporton. Desperate to avenge his hill-hill defeat, he cruised through 7 racks to 1 and followed it up with a 7-2 dispatching of Adam Collins. Ben George was next in the firing line on the losers side, and Rhodes was in no mood to let up his winning pace. A 7-3 win saw him one win away from a place in the last 16, with young Scottish potter Chris Fraser standing in his way. Each opponent before him had gone one rack better and the same applied here – Fraser only managing 4 frames to Rhodes’ 7, and it was Rhodes who took a last 16 berth. There he faced Tom Staveley in what didn’t fail to be a terrific match. Rhodes won through 9-7 and faced Tony Drago in the quarter finals. The Tornado was looking to reach his first ever main event final, but that wait was to continue – another 9-7 win for Rhodes secured his spot in the final four and a semi final clash with Imran Majid. Majid himself last won a main event at last season’s Southern Masters, and his wait was also set to continue. A convincing 9-3 win saw Rhodes safely through to the final.
