PFW Event 3 Report 2010
PFW TourThe third event of the season got underway at Potters Bar Pool Club, Cardiff last weekend, and as usual there were plenty of surprise results.

Congratulations to Phil Hoskins who beat Antony Doble 8 – 5 in the final. Phil had a difficult section of the draw to come through as he beat Mike Beckett 7 – 6, Wayne Smith 7 – 5, Oly Bale 8 – 4 and Antony Doble in the final 8 – 5.

This is the first PFW tour title that Phil has won, and is revenge for losing in the final against Antony last season. Phil is showing some amazing form at the moment and seems to be at the top of his game.
Welsh Ladies - World Champions
InternationalThe ladies team event at the WEPF World Eightball Pool Championships drew to a close this week at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool with an epic climax between Northern Ireland and Wales.

Seven days of qualifiers gave England ( current and multiple time World Champions) the number one seeding going into the semi final knock out stage. Wales also showed their mettle to take the number two seeding with a magnificent display of team pool throughout the group stages.

Northern Ireland and Australia had to endure the pressure cauldron of fighting it out on the final day of the qualifiers to reach the semi final stages but with a championship record such as the England ladies has, no team wanted the wrong end of the draw to meet them in the semi finals.
For most teams in the past, they have been happy just to have reached the final!
Welsh Open Tour - Event 1
Welsh Open TourSome of the best 8-ball pool players in Wales made the trip to Poolworld, Neath and Potters Bar, Cardiff on Sunday 23rd May for the 1st event of the 2010-11 Welsh Open Tour.

The first group of the event at Poolworld, Neath saw No.1 seed Craig Marsh reach the semi-final having beaten Wales ‘A’ team mate Nicky Griffiths, Steve Gillespie and finally Cardiff’s Dave Stratford 6-2.

Group 2 saw the current World Youth Champion and No.5 seed Cory Rees in blistering form dropping only 1 frame in each of his first 3 matches before a quarter-final meeting with Lee Loftus. Loftus who in his previous round had dispatched 4th seed Zack Wilkinson was on the receiving end of a whitewash at the hands of Rees.

The final event of the season got underway at Trecco Bay, last weekend, and as usual there were plenty of surprise results. I would like to thank Team BBC and the WPA for allowing the PFW to hold their final tour at the Welsh Pool Championships and look forward to working with them in the future. So we start with selected results from the early rounds

Early rounds
The first big shock saw James Phillips take out Antony Doble 6 – 3, who had won two tours this year. Next up was Sam Wintle, who was playing Doug Mountjoy. Doug showing some form to win 6 – 3.The next match saw Craig Marsh take Scottish International Scott Ross. Craig quickly took a lead and never looked back to win 6 – 1. Jason Shaw was next to fall, as he lost 6 – 5 to an in form Andy Macdonald. Steve Martin was looking in good shape as he quickly disposed of Jon Deakin 6 – 2. Jordan Shepherd was next to fall as he lost 6 – 4 to Ben Holly. Former finalist Phil Hoskins was on the wrong end of an in form Simon Ward, as he won the match 7 – 3. Scott Gillespie of Scotland edged through his match with Paul Hawkins 7 – 5. Andy Macdonalds run was ended by Oly Bale in a quick fire encounter of few mistakes 7 – 3. Jon Bushnell beat Marcus Phillips 7 – 6 in a long tactical match. Russell Burgess beat Michael Howe 7 – 6 with a fluke in the deciding frame. Ben Davies was the next big player to exit, as he lost 7 – 4 to Simon Ward.
