Paddy McLoughlin Crowned 2012 All Ireland Open 10-Ball Champion
Paddy McLoughlin (Down) put on a fabulous display to be crowned 2012 All Ireland Open 10-Ball Champion on Sunday past (19th February) in the beautiful Belfry playing venue Sligo with the Co.Down cueist adding another prestigious title to his fantastic CV.
Paddy also goes straight into number one on Ireland’s American 8 & 9 Ball Pool Tour official rankings for 2012 with ranking points rewarded from tournaments throughout the year involving all cue-sport categories of American 8-Ball, 9-Ball and 10-Ball events.
It is also great to see one of Ireland’s top 8-ball players Barry Hough (Mayo) making regular appearances by playing in events organised by Ireland’s American 8 & 9 Ball Pool Tour with the Co. Mayo player starting to leave his mark on the tour by reaching the semi-finals of the All Ireland 9-Ball Championships back in July 2011 and now reaching the final of the 2012 All Ireland Open 10-Ball Championships on the weekend past only to be defeated by the inform Paddy McLoughlin on a 10-5 score-line.
Paddy wasn’t producing his top form in recent tour events over the last few years when the new handicap system was introduced on the tour which made it very difficult for the Co. Down cueist but after the weekends performance in the 2012 All Ireland Open 10-Ball Championships all players should watch out because the “GINGER MAGICIAN” is back better than ever.
