cheers jaymo was a really good event to play in didnt play great but i enjoyed it very much, mark was his usual self, he had a ropey quarter final where he maybe should have lost but in the semis and final he was very good, oh what could have been if hed not changed his cue for those few months!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT MATE!!! [ This message was edited by: indiana on 2011-07-25 11:10 ]

Just want to say a big well done to Catki Aswan and Serge Das for running a great comp in a lovely club..... Also Longoni cues for sponsoring this event..... The standard in this event was a lot higher than i expected and the format was a great idea also wiv shorter races and double elim to last 8..... Im well chuffed to win and to bt the current world 10 ball champ on route was nice.. also 3rd win in a row against Niels and to get my 1st win against Dimitri Jungo after 3 loses to him was a nice bonus....... Cheers Ricardo for all the support.. Looking forward to going back next year... Mark Gray.

Just think granite aka Mark Gray your someone I seen just knocking few balls about in our local club, Didn't know you played properly in comps etc until I seen your picture on poster for an event in are club. Just think you've had an amazing last few comps at World 9 ball , Euro tour and to win 2011 Longoni Benelux Open is amazing just shows that the practices you've put in is paying off. Welldone Mate keep it up. Stu
