World Pool Championship 2007 Results Day 4 and 5

Wooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Go Daryl and Boyzi..
The 2 Brits that are left in the last 32!!!
So proud of the boys!!!
My boys! ;)
Peachie with a great performance against Alcano (winner 2006).. 10-6, couldn't believe it when I heard it...
Boyzi with another great performance against mr Tot...
Couldn't stop smiling when I read that text..
People at work thought I was going nuts...

Today...
Peachie plays Lee Kun Fang.. Runner up in 1997..
Not a bad player judging by that result..
Let's see what he's done in this one...
Beat Raj 10-6 in the last 64...
Beat Michael Schmidt 9-6 and Wu Yu Lun 9-8 in the groups..
Come on Peachie, you can do him!!!

Boyzi plays Rye Seung Woo...
In the groups he won Bahram Lotfy 9-4, Lost to Konstanin Stephanov 9-2 and won David Reljic 9-6 to qualify for the last 64, where he went on to win 10-7 against Kenichi Uchigaki (won against 9-2 Efren in his first match)
Godd luck Boyzi... We believe in you!
And I placed a little bet on him before the tournament started @ 150/1...

I'm bad! Very bad!!!

Sorry people!!!

I know...
There's just been so many things happening lately!
Been working different shifts and doing different things during work, been helping out with the GB9BT... (www.gb9balltour.com)
Setting another Barnsley Open up for December.. 9-ball this time!
And a fantastic special event! But more about it next time..

Was in Cambridge last weekend... Very nice club, more a bar type of club than a Rileys...Darren played a money match against Indy (Ricardo "Indiana" Jones)
Not the greatest display of their capabilities but still very good to watch!
Congrats to Indiana!

Been doing my driving lessons for a while now..
Have had 6 lessons..
And I really suck at it!!!
Sorry babe!
Not long before I crash your car!!!
:D

Have to get some food in my belly now before I go to bed!
I know very bad for you, but I'm fat anyways!

Early morning and long day.. Driving lesson at 9.30 for 2 hours and then off to work for another 8 or 9 hour shift!

See you soon and I still love all of you!
(Except the guy that tried to grope me in Mickeys)

Changes

In work.. Don't worry...
Started a new shift yesterday but it's not much better except that it's a bit easier to combine with work...
Don't know how long it will last but only needs it till end of October because she BPPPA season will be finished then...

No something totally different...
Got this sent to me so thought I'd share this with you...

Monday, August 13, 2007

WOW!!!

Great performance here!!!
Just a well done to Darren!!!
3 tournaments won in a row... In 3 weekends in a row!!!
In 3 different disciplines!!!!
First: 9-ball in Rileys Barnsley
Second: English Pool, world rules in Miscues Barnsley
Third: 8-ball in Rileys Barnsley

Off to work but just wanted to say well done!
(Good thing I donated £30 of my hard earned fee to the prize fund yesterday!!! ;) )

I'll come with photo's and stuff later...

Just a quickie

my previous post wasn't published like it should yesterday so that why you see it published now...

Darren Appleton won yesterday!!!
Well done!!!
A big thank you to everybody that played in the event..
Seen some good matches although I don't understand the rules all the time...
It was weird seeing Darren play English pool, I know he's very good at it but I normally don't go to any English pool events..
Also a well done to Scott Higgins..Seems he starts a lot of his matches being down4-0, 6-1 or something like that but he doesn't give up and fights back!!!
Shane Appleton for that great finish on 9-9 against Phil Harrison...
The double on that yellow where everybody thought you were gonna play a safety...
and then the cross double on the black into the side!!! Great show!
Mick did great too!!! (Still want you to play more American pool!!!!)

I'm off to work now... The quickie lasted too long.. Missed the bus now, so have to run!!!

See ya later!

PS will do full results tonight!

Sunday, August 5, 2007

Yep I'm back

Last weekend Darren Appleton won the BPPPA Barnsley Open!!!
2nd one in a row that he has played in!
Got pictures and video's of the last 8 racks...
When I've got time I'll upload them...

This weekend I'm helping him do the UK Masters (English pool) in Miscues Barnsley..
£250 a man!
19 people came to play in this tournament!
On my way to a friend house now to get a shower (as our bathroom is being fitted at the momenyt...)
And then to Miscues to see the last 8 battle it out today!!!

Talk to you later!

Friday, July 27, 2007

Finally!!!

Yep...

This is my first normal post since... Ages...
No comments needed....

Don't want to talk much about the past... The future is on it's way!
Tomorrow is going to be a very important day...
A BPPPA tournament and the most important part will be the announcement about next season...
Can't tell you much about it yet because that will spoil the surprise...
Do you really want to know?
Well.. you're welcome to join us tomorrow in Rileys Barnsley...

Owh about something else...
Organising another tournament in my own name...
The Barnsley 9-ball Open..
this to celebrate that Rileys in Barnsley has been open for a year in October...
The date to put in your calendar is the 6th and the 7th...
Groups will be playing on the Saturday and follwed by a special event on that night...
Sunday will see the start fo the single knock out fase and a plate competition for the people that unfortunately didn't qualify for the Sunday...

Now something in general...
Looking for a new job.. Need something Monday to Friday, because the shifts I'm doing now is killing my social life (if I had one)..
Not really affected by any of the floods.. Good luck to all the others that do have had problems because of this.. Hope everything will work out fine...
We've moved about 5 weeks ago...
House is starting to look like a house.. Nowhere near unpacking all the boxes!

That's it for the update...

You'll probably see something new Monday again..
And will promise to do my best to keep everything up to date now!!!

Thanks for checking this blog every now and then..
You know I love you!

Patience

It's coming....

But meanwhile something to keep you busy...

RAP!!!
hahaha sorry it's in Dutch but it made me homesick..
It's about Rotterdam and the guys rapping used to come to my old club a lot...

See ya later today...

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

But just have a bit of patience please.....

New Dutch record 14.1

Well done Nick.. The new Dutch record stands at 293 now...

There' a lot pf things happening in the English Pool scene now..
And they are not really positive..
Unfortunately there's not much I can do about this at the moment.
I think the people that really know me, know how frustrated I am with everything that has been happening lately...
I wish I could speak out but that might hurt the pool scene more!
Things are going to change!!!
Soon!!
In what way I don't know but I can tell you that I will be helping it as much as possible..
In the ideal world, I'd have a bit of money to keep myself alive, and so I can dedicate all my time to this sport...
But unfortunately, I need my full-time job a the moment...
There's a lot of my free time and holidays being spent for pool.. And I don't mind...
But I do want to see the sport go forward and not down...

This is as much as I can say at the moment...

Just wanted to let some of you know that I fully understand the frustration but changes are coming somehow...
Just wait because we can't achieve these changes in a day....
My trust is gone too...
But I'm hoping that some of the suggestions that we have received will be taken in regards and things will change..

If we all give up hope, we might as well all quit, because there's no point anyways...

So I'm asking you all...
Even if you've lost all hope in the BPPPA...
Keep believing in me and the others that are really trying to help!!!

Let me know if you have any suggestions (by email)

Euh....

*****

Don't know where to start...
Not been well lately..
But starting to feel better..

The Barnsley open is starting to look good...
34 entries up till now...
Not bad for a open tournament in England..

Owh and before I forget!!!
Mr Darren Appleton has asked me to help him organize the UK 8-Ball Masters...
My first English pool event!!!
(not counting the world championships blackball in Cork, because all I did was stuff for Bwin)
I'm very honored that he asked me...
Didn't expect it..
It will be held in Miscues (Barnsley) so unfortunately this time there's no traveling included...

This weekend there's a tournament in Stretford... A open tournament they are organizing themselves... Pro's (whatever they are)on Saturday and the others on Sunday..
Also got a leaving-do for my team leader @ Ventura Saturday evening in the Church house in Wath..

Next weekend is my birthday weekend... I know my b-day is long over but there was no other available weekend left to go to London...
Yeah London baby!!!
Going to a West end show (Blood brothers), nice dinner in Soho (Chinatown and the end it all: hopefully a great night in a nice hotel ;););););););)
And then I think we'll walk around London for a while before catching the train back home...

Enough for today... Tournament coming up again tonight so back to normal life again!

See ya later!

Miscues...

No hangover!!!

Yesterday Miscues, the new pool hall in Barnsley, opened...
Got an invite via Lynette and Boyzi...Thanks again!!
To be honest, I've never really been interested in English pool...
Would like to see more events but don't have the time for it...
But the opening of this club might change everything...
This is gonna be the club wehere a lot of events will be held and can be held...
Amazing layout! Too bad there's only one american pooltable there.. (with red cloth, you English are weird!!) But there's another coming soon from what I've heard...

The opening was fun (got some footage of our own Mick Hill dancing and having a bit too much fun)
Might be able to put it on youtube? ;)
Lynette introduced me to a lot of people.. Can't remember all the names but they're all nuts!! And loads of fun! Hope to see you all soon again!

Darren is playing in the semi's of the Eurotour in Italy now...
He's playing Konstantin Stephanov (he reached the final last time in the Czech Republic)..So won't be an easy game but he can do it! So come on!

Gonna enjoy my day off.. No Lee because he's in Cambridge to play in the 10-ball event in Mickey Flynns tomorrow...
I'm off to work tomorrow but I'll might write something tonight to keep you up to date or because I'm really bored...:D

Guilty as charged....

First of all...

I know I'm bad...
It's just been so d*** busy..
Don't know how I'm supposed to manage everything!!!

Ok in short what happened lately:

I've won the weekly tournament 3 weeks ago in Barnsley..
Beat Lee twice 3-2 on the night..Once in the group stages and once in the final..
Also a big win for me was to finally win against mr. Nick Wollerton!! (3-1)
Won 6 of the 8 group matches so consider this one of the best night for me...

16th of March I visited the Lake district...
Beautiful!!
Never seen anything like it!!!
A bit cold, windy and wet, but it was worth it!
Thanks babe!

Well done to David Alcaide for winning the Masters...
Proofs that I can sometimes predict things!
Thanks again to Ralf and Marcus for joining Lee and me for dinner...

Well done to everybody that won something in the European Poolchampionships!!!
Or didn't....
Wish I was there...
Hopefully next year I'll be there again!

What else?

Can't remember at the moment what else I need to tell you guys!

If I think of more I'll let you know...

For now my focus is on work..
But I'll let you in on a secret:
2 tournaments coming up in Rileys Barnsley...
1 qualifier for a big event in Mickey Flynns..
And one is a 8-ball open tournament..
Check this space for more info soon!
