British Wheelchair Tour 2011 ends with British 9 ball Championship in Wavertree
This has been a very exciting year for Britain's wheelchair pool players, with a total of 23 players playing in at least 1 of the 4 events so far, Roy Kimberley is guaranteed to retain his no 1 ranking, but its neck and neck between Tony Southern and Aslam Abubaker for the 2nd spot, with Tony's maiden win at the August 'Mersey 9 ball Shoot-out' giving him a slight edge.
The tour welcome's players of widely ranging ability, it's not too late to join, and the best news of all - new players to the tour get their first event FREE!, and soon will be publishing its 2012 schedule.
The two division structure that means that non-elite players can battle amongst themselves in the "Challenge" division as well as having the opportunity of matching themselves against the top players on the tour - so if you love playing pool and you'd like to join up, no matter what standard of player you are, contact the organisers now.
