An invitation to the 2008 Barnsley 9 Ball Open

Get a whole weekend of pool for £36 entry at one of Rileys best clubs, and £250 prize money added by Rileys with the potential for a nice four figure prize fund.

There will be a plate competition too, with money added for all players not in the money in the main event.

If that wasn't enough there's a Special Event on Saturday night with top players from the UK (and possibly Europe) playing for a top prize. Compulsive viewing for all players at the end of a hard day’s pool, details and players to be finalised!

Other special events will be running throughout the weekend (e.g. Speed pool, straight pool shootout, poker), so don't miss what is probably the most fun UK American Pool event of 2008.
