Burton breaks the bank at Billericay!
This is a truly beautiful club but I only managed to get one photo before people started arriving, and unfortunately it doesn't do the club justice, it is truly immaculate and I'm very glad I came today. It's really great to see photos of European players around the place, even some GB9 players have made it onto the walls.
All the tables are Dynamic II's, all the cloths are powder blue, all the balls are Pro Cup TV - it's a real nice player's club, and it's above a pub that does great food at weekends too... Definitely worth moving to Essex for!!!
The tournament got underway and the players that showed they were in good form were James Taylor and Darren Saxby, only conceding a few racks between them in the opening rounds, but when it came to the final it was Tony Burton and local hero Calum Ranson who battled it out for the title, with Burton beating Ranson 7-3 for the lion's share of the cash!
Once again Bethan Sage has been taking photos for Pro9 and will be adding them to the "Pool Photos" site tomorrow where you can view and buy the photos, or have them printed on mugs, on mouse mats, and even as jigsaw puzzles!
