It was the ever improving and inform Stephen Johnson who knocked out the tournaments number one seed Paul Bonner in the ¼-finals on a 7-2 score-line but it was the “ GINGER MAGICIAN ” once again who showed the rest of the field and all the tour that if they want to catch the Ginger Magician they must start putting in a lot more practise sessions before the new 2007 playing season cues off.
Ireland’s American 8 & 9 Ball Pool Tour would like to take this opportunity to thank Sam, Joe (senior) and Joe (junior) and all there staff and playing members at Club-9 for all there hospitality in making everyone very welcome at the 2006 Belfast Open 9-Ball Event.
