On the eve of the World Championships, we interview the defending champion!

Pro9 It's always a privilege to get a chance to ask the questions that I think everyone want's to know, and the first thing I always want to know when I meet a World Champion is, where does the drive, the ambition to succeed come from? What was your childhood like, was there something there that you think sparked this passion, this desire, or even your need to win?


Daryl "That’s a good first question! When I was a kid, my dad always encouraged me to play as many sports as possible, whether it was Snooker, or Cricket, I was always involved and enjoyed every minute. I think this must have been where I got my love for competing, which I think is something you need to be a real success in sports. Now-a-days, even if I'm in the pub with friends playing darts, or anything where competing is involved, I always want to win with a passion. It doesn’t matter who I'm playing against, it might even be my Dad, but I always want to win. It's something that I am very passionate about, and very proud of, and I have my Dad to thank for this."

A Game of Life, Death and All That's Inbetween

Pool… Now that’s always been a massive part of my life.

I’ve loved it and hated it with equal passion over the years… and hate is a very strong word. Loathed it in fact.

However, the fascinating thing that I love about pool is that it draws so many parallels with life. When you’re at the table, YOU are in charge. Kristen Castaldo, a player from Chicago suggested I blog some thoughts I had on these…

The break shot brings the whole darn game to life. Depending on the conditions, a hard break or a cut break opens the rack and good cue ball control sets you up to with a roadmap through “life”. Your next shot ? It's up to you to play aggressive and dominate – or play the percentage, study the lay of the land and be cool, calm, clear-headed, calculating and cruel.

The tournament features 32 two-player teams from around the world taking aim for a $250,000 prize fund, with the winning pair bagging $60,000 between them.

For Johnny Archer, 41, it will be his World Cup debut, and he is relishing the opportunity of playing in the event.

Poland ecstatic with home win in Nations Cup The Polish team sheet always looked dangerous right from the start when we saw the 16 national teams from all over Europe entered for this Battle Royale event in Kielce, Poland, for the 2010 Nations Cup, and true to form the cream rose to the top after a week of play as Radoslaw Babica's team took the gold medals and trophy in the beautiful Hotel Kongresowy in Kielce, Poland. Ivica Putnik's Team Croatia had already lost to Poland in the earlier rounds of this double elimination team tournament, and they put up a more robust challenge in the final but it was to no avail and Croatia had to settle for silver medals as Poland romped to victory without loss. Other medalists (bronze) were Team Portugal and Team Poland 2. Masticating Juicers "Read More..." for the details.

 Snooker and pool to make debut at African Games

Advertisements
www.milliken-wsp.co.uk

Egypt’s Mohammed Kayat, winner of the All African Snooker Championships.

Snooker and pool to make debut at African Games

The African Billiard & Snooker Federation (ABSF) has confirmed that snooker and other cue sports will be included in the African Games for the first time when Africa’s ‘Olympics’ are held in Mozambique next year..

And to cap a great year for the development of snooker in Africa, the winner of the All African Snooker Championships has won a place in the World Open, when Egypt’s Mohammed Kayat will take his place alongside the world’s top professional snooker players this autumn.

Thanks to the ABSF, interest in snooker and pool has been increasing for the past decade and Kayat’s 6-1 victory over fellow Egyptian Wael Talaat in Cairo saw him triumph over competitors from eight countries.

British companies are highly regarded by the game’s regulators in Africa and billiard cloth manufacturer Milliken was in Egypt recently for talks with ABSF Federation president Mohammed Kammah.
