Riley’s Darlington Tour Stop 2 - 5th-6th June 2010
This weekend the BWPPA tour arrived in Darlington for the first time since 2004, for tour stop #2 of the 2010 Dynamic Billiards season.
Despite the long trip north for a lot of the players the main event boasted a terrific 16 player field, that is testament to how far the tour has come in just over a year.
Roy Kimberley began his campaign with a 7-1 win over Shaun Madin, but Madin picked himself up in the one-loss bracket with a comfortable 7-3 win over Matt Lester. Madin was undoubtedly the surprise package of the weekend, as next he beat current English 8-ball World wheelchair Champion, and BWPPA #7 Gary Swift 7-6. Shaun wasn’t about to stop there, he was involved in another final rack shootout with BWPPA #2 Karl Read which he again came through as the victor 7-6. Into the semi then and BWPPA Chairman Matt Gleaves was next for Madin. Shaun came through 7-5 despite Gleaves playing at his home club, despite the semi-final defeat though Matt had done enough to move upto #2 in the main rankings.
Elsewhere in the tournament the BWPPA welcomed a new face Haider Sheikh who lost 7-2 to Nick Oliver, but then beat Frankie Gillen 7-3 in the one-loss bracket before losing 7-1 to Danny Luton in the quarter-finals, we hope Haider will become a regular contender in future BWPPA events, but that win for Danny Luton followed a 7-4 win over Glaswegian Matt Duffy and led to a semi-final against Roy Kimberley who has won the last 4 BWPPA events.
"Read More..." for the details.
Shaun Madin
Luton won 7-5 to reach his second main event final since the opening event of the 2009 season in Birmingham , and won the Challenge Cup at the same venue in tour stop #1 of this season. Awaiting Danny in the final was Shaun Madin who began the event ranked #16, and had already proved he has what it takes on the road to the final, but unfortunately for Shaun he couldn’t keep the fairytale going, and in the end it was a comfortable 7-2 win for Danny Luton.
In the Challenge Cup event for the second time this season since the revised open format there has been a top 8 winner Matt Duffy came through a comfortable final beating Frankie Gillen 5-1 in the final, after beating Mark McNeil 5-2 in the semi. Whilst Gillen had a much more difficult journey, scraping through 5-4 in his quarter-final against Nick Oliver and followed by a 5-2 win over Matt Lester in his semi-final.
