I haven’t played in a tournament since the Bournemouth Open 9-ball event back in November 2008. However, this weekend I ma off to Mickey Flynn’s in Cambridge (weather permitting) and will be competing in their first open 10-ball event of the season.
On this occasion I am able to mix leisure with work as I will also be getting some news content and video interviews with some of the players taking part.
The field, as ever at Mickey Flynn’s, is going to be a tough one. Raj Hundal, Imran Majid, Rico Diks and Tony Drago are all competing along with a lot of other talented players including Matt Ford, Ricardo Jones, Mickey Lambert (clubs owner) and Anthony Ginn.
The tournamnt at Mickey Flynn’s are legendary and the club is one of the finest in the UK, not the largest on any accounts, but well maintained tables and a good bar.
I am not sure whether I will be able to play all of the tournament this year but we will see, CueSport TV are hoping to broadcast live from the club later in the year, the problem at the present time is a lack of space so it means we are back to news clips only.
I don’t hold my breath in terms of my performance but with a double-eliminator at least I get two matches for my money! I think my target is to win at least one match, after that would be a bonus, this of course can depend on my draw and my ability to break, which has been lacking recently.
Watch out for the news item on CueSport TV next week. I have Raj Hundal down to win this one!
