Kimberley dominates Northern 9-ball Open
The BWPPA raised the curtain on the 2011 season on the 5th/6th February 2011 with the Dynamic Billiards Northern 9-ball Open held at Rileys Barnsley. The tour was hit by illness for it’s season opener with many of the regular tour players unable to compete due to illness. Despite this the tour got off to a great start with some great pool on show as usual at these events. “the Sandman” Roy Kimberley held onto his number 1 spot with victory in the Main Event. Roy had a tough opening encounter with Welshman Phil Hendrickson which went to a deciding rack, Kimberley’s experience told in the end as he won 7-6, he then had a more comfortably dispatched of Shaun Madin 7-2. “the Sandman” seemed to be on a roll then as he beat Tony Southern 7-5 in the semi-final

The Main event final between Kimberley & Abubaker was a repeat of the 2010 opening event, Kimberley a hard fought final with a 7-5 victory.
