Peach gets Bronze for Great Britain!

Congratulations to Daryl Peach for making an incredible start to his European Championships offensive, with a Bronze Medal for his efforts in the opening event, the 14.1 straight pool.

Peach was the only non-German in the semi-finals with the gold medal going to Oliver Ortmann, a man no stranger to these events, having collected no less than 26 medals over the years. Ortmann beat his good friend Ralf Souquet in the final, and Souquet beat Christian Reimmering (who also recieves a bronze medal) in the other semi-final.

Over 200 players from 35 countries are battling for the prestigious medals in 10 days of non-stop pool competitions at the European Pool Championships 2006 in Germany.
