Boys From Brazil Have World Cup Chance Brazil won their third consecutive match at the Nongfu Spring World Cup on Thursday to boost their chance of qualifying from the group phase. Igor Figueiredo and Itaro Santos saw off Malaysia 4-1 and now have 13 points in Group B. Scotland and Belgium both have 14 points but they play each other in the final group match on Friday, which means that Brazil will reach the quarter-finals if they can beat Hong Kong 4-1. The top two in each group go through. "We are very happy and proud to represent our country and to be doing well," said Santos, who won the Pan-American Championship this year. England's 5-0 win over UAE moved them up to second place in Group D and means that another 5-0 win, over the Republic of Ireland in their last group match, would guarantee them a quarter-final spot. Anything less and their fate will depend on the results of leaders China B against Germany and third-place Thailand against UAE. England's Mark Selby said: "We've played well since our opening defeat and we've given ourselves a chance, going into the last match. In this format anyone can win." Ireland are just one point behind England following a 4-1 defeat of Germany. Ken Doherty said: "We would have liked to win 5-0 today, we have a lot to do tomorrow now. We're just gutted that we didn't have our cues for our opening match as that had a big impact on our chances. It's an exciting format and we look forward to the challenge of playing England." Home favourites China A continue to impress as their 5-0 thrashing of Norway means Ding Junhui and Xiao Guodong have 18 points from a possible 20. They need just one frame tomorrow against third-placed Malta. India's 3-2 win over Malta today lifted them to second. A 4-1 win for Wales over Northern Ireland brought their total to 17 points so Mark Williams and Michael White need just one more point against Australia tomorrow to be sure of their progress. Australia's target is to get at least as many points as Northern Ireland score against Pakistan. For all results and group tables see www.worldsnooker.com/world-cup-group-tables

England Out Of World Cup England were knocked out of the Nongfu Spring World Cup in China in dramatic circumstances, despite beating the Republic of Ireland in their final group game. Mark Selby and Stuart Bingham, the world's top two players, beat Ireland 3-2, but finished third in Group D so missed out on a quarter-final place. Thailand's Dechawat Poomjaeng and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh beat UAE 4-1 to finish level on points with England, and finished second having won the head-to-head match at the start of the week. Thailand go through to meet Wales on Saturday, while group winners China B, comprising Zhou Yuelong and Yan Bingtao, will face Australia. A jubilant Un-Nooh said: "It feels great because we’ve never qualified for the second round before. This is a first for Thailand. I feel like we need to shout very loud. Now we have got this far, we are not scared of anything." Poomjaeng, who won the last and decisive frame against UAE's Mohamed Shehab, added: "Now we have confidence. I want to beat everyone now. The final is so far away, but we will do it. We never give up.” Selby said: "We won four out of five games and still didn't qualify. We had such a tough group." There was also an exciting finish in Group C, after Welsh duo Mark Williams and Michael White had beaten Australia 3-2 to top the group. That result meant outsiders Pakistan could qualify by beating Northern Ireland 5-0 and that was on the cards when they went 4-0 up. But Gerard Greene beat Muhammad Sajjad in the last frame, which meant Australia's Neil Robertson and Vinnie Calabrese scraped through, just a point ahead of both Pakistan and Northern Ireland. A relieved Robertson said: "I wasn't aware that Pakistan could qualify, until Mark Williams told me during our match. We didn't do well in the first two matches but Vinnie has really improved as the week has gone on and I'm proud of him. He played a good frame against Mark Williams today which proved vital in the end. This event has been fantastic experience for him. "Pakistan are unlucky not to go through because they've had a great tournament with two very good players. But I'm delighted we've made it ahead of them." Belgium stormed into the quarter-finals with a 3-2 victory over Scotland, meaning they won all five of their group games. Rising star Luca Brecel and amateur Tomasz Skalski topped Group B and will now face India in the last eight. Scotland finished second to earn a match with China A. World number 44 Brecel said: “It’s fantastic to beat Scotland and to win all five group games. It’s a different pressure here. I missed a frame-ball red today, which I would never usually miss if I was just playing for myself. We have reached our goal now in getting to the quarter-finals so we will be more relaxed.” Skalski added: “It gives me a lot of confidence to play with Luca because I know he’s going to win his frames. I have played above my level in most of the matches.” Scotland’s defeat meant their fate rested in Brazil’s hands, but John Higgins and Stephen Maguire were relieved to see that Brazil had lost 5-0 to Hong Kong. “We’re lucky to get through because we had to rely on Hong Kong,” admitted four-time World Champion Higgins. “It will be a very difficult against China tomorrow.” Ding Junhui and Xiao Guodong of host nation China also won all five matches in Group A, culminating in a 3-2 defeat of Malta today. India’s Pankaj Advani and Aditya Mehta secured second spot with a 4-1 win over Singapore. Advani said: “When we saw the draw we felt we had a good chance to qualify, so I’m glad we’ve lived up to that expectation. Aditya has played better than me so far but there is no ego between us, we work as a team and I just need to pull up my socks. “We are discussing the games, sharing ideas and giving each other confidence. Now we’re at the business end of the tournament, representing India, and this is what we play for.” Saturday's quarter-final line-up: 1pm local time China A v Scotland India v Belgium 7.30pm local time Australia v China B Wales v Thailand For all results and group tables see www.worldsnooker.com/world-cup-group-tables

China Win Snooker's World Cup China B’s talented teenagers Zhou Yuelong and Yan Bingtao won the Nongfu Spring World Cup in their home country, beating Scotland 4-1 in the final in Wuxi. It’s the second consecutive time that China have won the event as they beat Northern Ireland in the final in Thailand in 2011. On that occasion it was Ding Junhui and Liang Wenbo who took the trophy. This time the host nation was allowed to enter two teams into the 24-team tournament, and it was their ‘B’ pairing of 17-year-old Zhou and 15-year-old Yan who stole the show with a series of brilliant displays. After coming through the group phase then knocking out Australia and Wales, they beat experienced Scottish duo John Higgins and Stephen Maguire in the final to claim the $200,000 top prize and underline China’s status as a growing force in the global game. Zhou and Yan have both won the World Amateur title and both look to have the potential to follow in Ding’s footsteps and become regular winners on the professional circuit. Zhou scored some impressive results during his rookie year on the tour last season, while Yan is now debuting on the circuit. China stormed into a 3-0 lead in the final as Yan beat Higgins in the opening frame with a break of 100, Zhou saw off Maguire with runs of 44 and 51, then the home favourites added a doubles frame. Maguire took frame four against Yan, but Zhou’s 33 clearance in frame five against Higgins gave China the title. Earlier in the semi-finals, Scotland beat India 4-3, with Maguire taking a dramatic final frame on the last pink after Aditya Mehta had missed a match-winning chance. China B edged out Welsh duo Mark Williams and Michael White 4-3. Results (quarter-finals onwards) Quarter-finals Scotland 4-1 China A India 4-1 Belgium Wales 4-1 Thailand China B 4-2 Australia Semi-finals Scotland 4-3 India China B 4-3 Wales Final China B 4-1 Scotland [ This message was edited by: Administrator on 2015-06-23 21:29 ]

Statement from the World Confederation of Billiard Sports The World Confederation of Billiard Sports has been informed that Cue Sports are not included in the shortlist of eight sports to be considered for inclusion in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. While falling at this stage is disappointing for Cue Sports, inclusion in the process to date has been hugely beneficial and we are stronger and more united as a result. We would like to wish the eight successful IFs the best of luck with their respective bids. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the contributing parties to the bid including The World Pool-Billiard Association, The Union Mondiale de Billiard, the IBSF and the WPBSA - through their partnership the World Snooker Federation. We would also like to say a huge thank you to the Nippon Billiards Association of Japan for supporting our bid and making our voice heard. Finally we would also like to thank the International Olympic Committee for giving us a fair and transparent platform on which to make our bid. Cue sports have made vast strides forward in recent years in terms of fulfilling the Olympic criteria. Snooker, pool and carom are played and watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. We are committed to continuing this progress in the coming years. We will move forward more determined and more focused on achieving the status of an Olympic Sport and we look forward to starting our bid for the 2024 Olympics.

Europe edge the USA on the first day of the Atlantic Challenge CupEurope take the lead over USA in today’s first matches 2-1 and can sleep easy now the first nerves are over. Playing in front of the cameras and in a setting that is unfamiliar for most of these young players, it was a nervy start for both teams. In the first match of the day, both teams had all players involved playing one rack each in a race to six. It was Europe who took the first match with a convincing win 6-3 after wins for Maxim Dudanets, Kristina Tkach, Marharyta Fefilava & Daniel Tangudd with the latter two players winning both their matches. The second match saw a team of three playing the same format and this time the USA team flew out of the blocks. The team, consisting of Nick Evans, Drake Niepoetter & Taylor Hansen took a 2-0 lead, then went 3-1 up after Nick Evans beat Patryk Statkiewicz. Nick again won his next match to put USA on the hill and it was down to Drake Niepoetter to gain the point for USA by beating the strong Raphael Wahl and level the overall score 1-1. This left a nail biter of a conclusion for the day as one of these teams would go to bed with a lead and a good night’s rest. With the match all square at 3-3, it had hill-hill written all over it until suddenly, team Europe found another gear. Wins for Maxim Dudanets, Daniel Tangudd put Europe on the hill and it was Marharyta Fefilava's victory over April Larson that sealed the victory and ensured Europe start day two with a slender lead. A link can be found through the official Atlantic Challenge Cup web pages www.x-patspoolleagues.com/#!atlantic-challenge-cup/c5ay along with the match schedule and results. The event features the best six junior players (four boys and two girls) from Europe and America in a competition to see who will have the bragging rights across the Atlantic.

Top Class Snooker Returns To Cardiff The world’s best snooker players will be back at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff in February for the 2016 Welsh Open. The world ranking event was staged in the Welsh capital last year with 128 players competing for the trophy, giving fans the chance to watch many of their heroes in action, including Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump, John Higgins, Jimmy White and home favourites Mark Williams, Matthew Stevens and Michael White. Higgins won the title, beating Ben Woollaston 9-3 in the final. The BBC Wales-televised tournament returns to the same venue and will run 15-21 February, with tickets now on sale. An initial HALF PRICE OFFER means that all-day tickets start at just £6 – incredible value to see the best green baize kings on the planet! Fans are strongly urged to book fast as this remarkable offer will not last long. For details call 02920 224488 or visit www.worldsnooker.com/tickets Two-time World Champion Williams, from Cwm, got to the semi-finals last season before a narrow 6-5 defeat against Woollaston. He said: “I was delighted to see the event staged in Cardiff, it’s one of the best venues on the circuit.” Williams, age 40, underwent rotator cuff surgery on his shoulder earlier this month. “I had been struggling with it for nine months so I had to have the operation,” he said. “The doctors said the operation went fine, though it is still painful. “I was hoping to play in the Riga Open in Latvia in two weeks time, but I tried to practise this week and it was very difficult so I will wait and see. I don’t want to risk coming back too early, though it is boring sitting around doing nothing when I’d rather be playing snooker.” Williams believes Welsh snooker is in good hands, with Michael White and Jamie Jones enjoying recent success. “I’ve been saying for a while that Michael would win tournaments and he has proved me right this year,” added the former world number one. “Jamie got to the semi-finals in Australia this month and hopefully he can kick on. It looks like China has many of the best young players, but it’s good that Wales has those two with a lot of potential.”

A unique ranking list will run from the 2015 Australian Goldfields Open until the 2016 Gdynia Open, with the top 32 players on that list to be eligible to enter the World Grand Prix. Young potting sensation Judd Trump won the title last season, coming from 7-4 down in a superb final to beat Ronnie O’Sullivan 10-7. “The World Grand Prix is a fantastic addition to the calendar,” said the player nicknamed The Ace. “I’m pleased to see it become a ranking event because that means there is more at stake and it will help the tournament grow. “The crowds in Llandudno were brilliant last time and I thrive on that type of atmosphere.

Hawkins Rules In Riga Barry Hawkins won the first Kreativ Dental Clinic European Tour event of the season, beating Tom Ford 4-1 in the final of the Kaspersky Lab Riga Open. World number eight Hawkins captured his first title since the Players Championship 16 months ago by winning seven straight matches in the Latvian capital. The former Crucible finalist pocketed the top prize of 25,000 Euros. In the final, Leicester's Ford took the opening frame with a break of 67, before Ditton-based Hawkins levelled with a run of 65. He crucially won the third frame on the colours and then added the next two with top runs of 57 and 62. Hawkins recently admitted that he decided not to enter the Australian Goldfields Open - the first ranking event of the campaign - in order to give himself fresh impetus for the season ahead, and his victory in Riga has clearly justified that decision. "It feels great to win my first tournament of the season," said the 36-year-old. "I had two months off and put my cue away. I made the most of the break and it seems to have paid off. "Tom is a class player who scores well when he gets going so I was pleased to beat him. It was a strong field with a lot of good players. If I can keep this form up I'll have chances to win more titles." Earlier in the semi-finals, Hawkins beat Graeme Dott 4-1 while Ford saw off Ben Woollaston by the same scoreline. The Kreativ Dental Clinic European Tour is a series of six events across the continent, with the top 24 on the final Order of Merit to qualify for the Players Championship. The next event is the Paul Hunter Classic in Germany from August 26-30. Results (last 16 onwards) Last 16 Ryan Day 4-1 Ken Doherty Graeme Dott 4-1 Mark Allen Barry Hawkins 4-1 Michael White Alan McManus 4-1 Judd Trump Matthew Selt 4-1 Shaun Murphy Tom Ford 4-2 Rory McLeod Ben Woollaston 4-2 Mark Williams Liang Wenbo 4-0 Oliver Lines Quarter-finals Dott 4-0 Day Hawkins 4-2 McManus Ford 4-3 Selt Woollaston 4-2 Liang Semi-finals Hawkins 4-1 Dott Ford 4-1 Woollaston Final Hawkins 4-1 Ford
