Mosconi Cup Videos

December 13, 2008 / The_Teach / No comments

All this hype about the Mosconi Cup got me thinking, has anyone posted any videos yet? So I thought I would have a look around the web and this is what I came up with.

Official Promo Video for Mosconi XV.

Some handheld work from the crowd in the arena!

So basically not much available at the moment from the 2008 version however there are a lot of videos from the previous editions. Once again last night Earl ‘The Pearl’ Strickland was at his controversial worst telling Mika Immonen he was ‘lucky’ after Mika beat him 5-0, he also proceeded to give ‘The Bird’ to a number of people in the audience.

Last year he had an issue with World 9-ball Champion Daryl Peach, some videos of this are below:

Last rack of controversial match

This shows the passion of the Mosconi Cup and why we all want to continue watching it! At CueSport TV we don’t have any Mosconi Cup videos but we do have some videos featuring Tony Drago and Mark Gray, both featuring in this years edition of the Mosconi Cup. I have listed some of them below:

Live 9-ball & Live Snooker this weekend

December 10, 2008 / The_Teach / No comments

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)

CueSport TV to Broadcast British Professional 9-ball Pool in 2009

November 29, 2008 / The_Teach / No comments

PRESS RELEASE:

CueSport TV to Broadcast British Professional 9-ball Pool in 2009

CueSport TV, the Internet Pool & Snooker Channel, have today announced that the company will be once again offering recorded broadcasts of all of the GB 9 Ball Tour events in 2009.

The coverage provided by CueSport TV in 2008 was unprecedented for a national 9-ball pool tour with 9-ball pool videos being available in the main schedule and on-demand. Throughout the course of the 2008 season viewers were able to watch 9-ball pool matches featuring a host of professional pool players including Darren Appleton, Daryl Peach, Tony Drago, Imran Majid, Karl Boyes, Raj Hundal and Pat Holtz, the majority of which are returning for the 2009 season.

Managing Director of CueSport TV Ltd, Pete Williams had this to say, “The GB 9 Ball Tour, through the hard work and dedication of Lee Rigby and Shirley Ang, has become a recognised tour throughout the world due to the quality of the organisation, the star players on offer and the coverage that my company has been able to offer. 2008 saw us serve video to 11,000 unique viewers per month from 110 different countries. It made massive sense for us to continue to cover the GB 9 Ball Tour for 2009 and drive both the tour and it’s standing within the International pool community forward. Especially due to the fact that the tour and the UK have two reigning World Pool Champions in Daryl Peach and Darren Appleton.”

Changes to the coverage will occur in 2009 with CueSport TV planning on providing multiple camera coverage of the main match table and live 9-ball pool action through the live function of the channel player.

The first tournament of the 2009 season, The Midlands Classic, takes place over the weekend of the 9th-11th January at Rileys, Solihull. Viewers can watch 9-ball pool matches from this tournament during the course of the following week.
