"Tornado" blows away the competition at Southfields

What a brilliant tournament, and what a fantastic winner!

It was great of Malta's Tony "The Tornado" Drago to support this event with his presence, and from the way he was playing it was easy to predict him storming his way to the final, entertaining players and fans with an awesome exhibition of his high speed potting style.

There were other thrilling matches too, with the early round draw between Pro 9 Ball players Rico Diks and Imran Majid drawing a nice sized crowd, and causing a bit of a sensation too, after Imran got a golden break to take the game to a hill-hill match, only for Rico to get a golden break to win the match 5-4.

Coolest player transport was this chap who rolled up on this throaty sounding R1.



No wonder he's smiling, it really was a beauty!



Although, these are a pretty cool mode of transport too...



Incidentally, if you see or hear these trucks it's worth checking them out...



There are lots of goodies to be had when they are about!!!



Just some of the free gifts, prizes and goodie bags given away at this event.
