Archer & Fisher Gain Hall of Fame Nominations

The most dominant male and females players of the last 15 years in the USA, Johnny Archer and Alison Fisher, have been given BCA Hall of Fame nominations.

Both players will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on June 23rd as part of the BCA International Billiards & Home Recreation Expo held in Las Vegas.

I can’t confirm it (I will have to delve deeeper) but I think Alison Fisher will be the first British player to be inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame.

In a few years we could be seeing the likes of Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach and even Kelly Fisher also receiving this accolade.

Live 9-ball & Live Snooker this weekend

You can watch live 9-ball pool and live snooker this weekend!

The Mosconi Cup returns for it’s 15th edition and starts tomorrow evening the 11th December live on Sky Sports. The European team (captained this year by Alex Lely) are the defending champions having won the trophy in Las Vegas last year. The tournament MVP last time out was Tony Drago and he will be looking to put on a similar performance as he will be playing in Malta, his home country.

The rest of the European team are Ralf Souquet, Niels Feijen, Mika Immonen and Englands own Mark Gray. European players currently hold all of the world titles and have also been successful in the majors this year as well, Ralf Souquet winning the US Open the highlight.

The US team is captained by Nick Varner and is almost an unchanged side from last year, Earl Strickland returns as the only ever present since this tournament started and is joined by Johnny Archer, Shane van Boening, Jeremy Jones and Rodney Morris.

If snooker is more your tipple then prepare to be mesmerised as the Uk Championships starts on Saturday 13th December from the Telford International Centre. Regarded as the second most prestigious snooker tournament after the World Championships Ronnie O’Suillivan will be on hand to defend the title he won last December.

Other contenders:

  • Shaun Murphy (due some form after losing all first round matches this season.
  • Stephen Maguire (World number 2 could do with a good run)
  • Mark Selby (Looked poor in the Premier League final last weekend but has had a solid season)
  • John Higgins (Always a good performer)
  • Ryan Day (About time he won something)
