BWPPA No.4 Final Videos - British Championship - Part 1, 2, 3, 4
Saturday/Sunday 29-30 October 2010
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.

The final event of the year was once again held at Rileys Barnsley undoubtedly one of the best pool clubs in the UK if not the best. All the players and everyone at the BWPPA would like to thank the manager George Vetters and the staff for their hospitality once again.
Everyone at the BWPPA including all the players and organizers would like to thank each and everyone of our sponsors Dynamic Billiards, Poison Cues, Delta 13 Racks, Talisman Billiards, Simonis cloth, The Gentlemans Night Out charity, without the generosity of these people the tour would not be able to be the biggest wheelchair pool tour outside the USA.
The players would also like to extend their thanks to Matthew Gleaves the BWPPA President, who devotes much of his time in promoting the tour as well as organising events and gaining sponsors. Without Matt’s and the committees dedication the tour would not be what it is and continue to grow year on year.
Thanks also to Tournament Directors Andy Warden and Ryan “Monkey – Rack’em” Hamer. We thank you too for your kindness and help.
