This tournament actually started yesterday but I didn’t get around to posting anything.
It should be another good event for the Brits on show as we currently have both the European 1 & 2 in Mark Gray and Imran Majid respectively. Joining them are the World Champion, Daryl Peach, World bronze medallist, Karl Boyes, Recent GB9 winners Darren Appleton and Jayson Shaw.
It is uncanny that in the space of around 3 years Britain is almost dominating European (and world) 9-ball pool events. Without doubt it is due to our natural ability as cueists and probably comes from excellect fundamentals learned through snooker (the majority of the players mentioned have dabbled in the large table game).
It has been a case of one gets there and the rest will follow as a number of British players have been on the winners rostrum both in Europe and further afield, the cameraderie whilst on tour is second to none and all the Brits stick together and perform as a solid unit. The only time this breaks down is when they draw each other!!!
I forgot to mention our Junior European champion as well in Phil Burford who is also in Weert flying the flag in the men’s division – this young player has honed his skills to the max and currently sits as the number 1 pro player on the GB9 Tour, a massive feat for one so young and inexperienced.
Anyway you can find out the results for yourself at www.eurotour.nu but I do expect some solid UK performances on this one.
