UPC PRESS RELEASE
The weekend of the 2-4 December sees thirty teams and over 100 university nine-ball players descend on Riley’s Solihull to battle it out for the Team and Individual Championships.
Warwick 1sts are the holders of the Team Championship and are expected to be one of the teams to beat again this year with a strong side. Durham, last season’s runners-up and winners of the Eight-ball Championship are also among the favourites however, with new teams entering this term, the competition should be a very open one...
Individual Champion Damian Donovan representing the University of Gloucestershire return to defend his title with last season’s runner up Stuart Jell looking to go one better this time. Other names to look out for are Northumbria University’s Rob Wilkinson, York’s Tim Lister, BUSA Snooker Champion Pritesh Patel from Bristol University and double universities Eight-ball Champion Paul Edwards from Nottingham University as well as occasional BPPPA Tour Event players Mark Hopgood, Liverpool John Moores and Haryadi Hadi from Liverpool University. Again, the entry of several new teams means that there could be a few dark horses in the draw.
The event gets underway with the Individual Championship at 10h30 on Friday 2nd December which will be played up to and including the quarter-finals. The Team Championship begins at 10h30 on Saturday 3rd December with the Individual Championship Semi-finals and Final from 17h30.
The Team Championship resumes at 10am on Sunday 4th December with the Semis and Final from around 4pm.
With the large increase in participants this season the Nine-ball Championship has become yet another major fixture in the university pool calendar and should make for an exciting weekend.
