Pictures from the final day

At the beginning in the 8-Ball doubles it looks like the asian guys had everything under control. Dennis Orcullo and Warren Kiamco had no problems to prevail Karl Boyes and Daryl Peach with an easy 6:1 win. But only a few moments later the British guys came back with Darren Appleton and Mark Gray beating Ronnie Alcano and Marlon Manalo with the same result. Whilst the 9-Ball singles match of Boyes against Lee van Corteza was very close the other one from Gray against Antonio Lining was already over after just 45 minutes. Gray made no mistakes and took all his chances. 8:2 was the final result.

Comparing to that we saw a big fight at the other table. As it was 7:6 for the Filipino there was a one hour break for the final show of the fair that was taking place in the same hall the whole week. And it was Boyes who seemed to have no problems with that. After the re-start he took all his chances whilst van Corteza made a quite easy mistake. That was good enough for the young Britain to make it 8:7 and overall 3:1. So only one more point was needed to win the premiere world team championships.

Darren Appleton had to play the unbeaten Dennis Orcullo and Daryl Peach met Ronnie Alcano at the second table. Former world champ Appleton was unbelievable in that match. He absolutely made no mistakes. Every position was perfect so in the end every shot was easy. That’s what we call perfect Pool. Orcullo had never a real chance and at the same time he was a little bit unhappy about his break. So Darren was in kind of a flow and potted the final ball only a few moments later.

It was WPA-president Ian Anderson who handed over the big trophy to the celebrating team. The 600 spectators gave standing ovations to all the players who really deserved it.
We saw nine days of great Pool and lots of action. Especially the Shoot-Out was something really new and thrilling. All the teams, regardless if winner or loser, liked it very much. So the crowd does anyway.
Watch out for recordings of the WTC on www.cueball-vision.de. It’s really worth watching.
