Friday-Sunday 9-11 January 2009
It's back, and we're all raring to go - it's the first GB9 tour event of 2009!
There will be a players meeting for all tour players today, Friday 9 Jan at 4.30 pm - a time to reflect on achievements last year, and look at what’s new for GB9 in 2009 before the matches get under way.
Around 40 new players will feature in the 128 player field which will also include 3 current world champions and 2 current Mosconi Cup winners.
Last year's tour superstar Imran Majid will be aiming to do the virtually impossible and maintain his points lead, but the tiniest slip will see the pack begin the big catch up. A similar challenge will face World 10 Ball Champion Darren Appleton after he finished No.1 ranked in the Pro Cup division rankings last year, and perhaps an even tougher year awaited Thomas Ainsworth-Smith, rewarded for "topping" the 2008 Challenge Division with a promotion to the Pro Cup in 2009 but unable to find sufficient funds from sponsorship this season he has had to relinquish his spot!
