Also interesting to note that Darren Appleton is still out in Manila playing money matches every night and doing very well.
Maybe he can report back on Pro9 daily about his exploits??
Riggers...can you get him to do this as I think most players who read this site would be very interested to read all about them.

Dyno doing some serious robbing out there. Last night he beat Gabica 25-24 with 200 Gabica supporters bellowing in his ear, Kiamco got it the night before and Gomez the night before that. Not exactly shying away from the big players.
Even Dave 'Lefty' Wright got some action last night and won a match for £500. Come on!

Nice article, thanks "Devil" Dennis is a really nice person, met him for the first time some years back in Cardiff and various times since. Here are a couple of photos (not great quality) of his 4 year old son who is mad to play pool.

Well done mate on your money matches, you were winning a few when I was over watching. It was an amazing place the club OneSide, I've never seen so much constant action for gambling, it truly was mind blowing. Anyone who grows up and plays in these clubs are getting a massive head start in experience, imagine all that talent you get to watch and play against daily, it sure must improve your game. I bet Darren's game has shot up a massive amount since being in the Philippines for 1 month playing money games every night against the best players in the world....and defeating them, way to go mate! Darren, how long are you planning on staying over there and have you still got plans to go to USA for money games? Good luck mate, speak soon.
