Press Release
The Eightball Pool World Championship will be sponsored by Scottish & Newcastle plc under their world renowned brand FOSTER'S.
It is expected that this will be a long term arrangement and Foster's will become a prominent brand name in the sport.
 It is remarkable that in the same year as the sport announces a major league sponsor, the World event is reporting record numbers of entrants in the main events of the championships.
Team and Mens individual events have record entries from all areas of the world.
Television coverage is again with BSKYB and shows an increase to 9 programmes with an estimated 60 hours transmission time.

Rileys Support Pool in Scotland |

ravingreporter writes: "
The Scottish Pool Association has teamed up with Rileys, the UK’s leading Pool and Snooker club operator.
This exciting new partnership will bring SPA members a package of special benefits.
Amongst these will be the opportunity to join a Rileys club free of charge. In addition, on joining, SPA members will be able to take advantage of a 25% discount on all table play.
On behalf of the SPA, Ross McInnes said ....
“I’m delighted we’ve created this partnership. It represents a major investment in Scottish pool. The benefits to our members will be tremendous and most importantly, long-term”.
This partnership comes as a result of plans made by Rileys to develop pool in Scotland. These plans include the introduction of many new ‘traditional’ pool tables in the sixteen Scottish Rileys clubs.
The first phase of this development is already complete with over twenty tables installed in clubs in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Penicuik.
Rileys is committed to supporting Scottish pool !
Rileys will be holding a series of pools events throughout Scotland and the UK.
In conjunction with the SPA, Rileys will be providing sponsorship for this year’s Scottish National Singles Championship which boasts a £5,000 guaranteed prize fund.
Along with the investment in new tables there will be other benefits for SPA members including the introduction of a new Scottish £5,000 team event.
Details will be released shortly of the Hainsworth £10,000 UK amateur 4-man tournament.
Scotland will be allocated four of the sixteen places in the Grand Finals.
Rileys will be working closely with SPA officials to help develop many aspects of Scottish pool.
This will include pool for ladies, youths and those with special needs.
Considerable effort will also be made to encourage grass roots participation.
Rileys have already secured sponsorship deals with individual pool leagues across Scotland.
Howard Miller, National Pool and Snooker Manager at Rileys, commented....
“This is an exciting development for Rileys. We have many clubs in Scotland and I’m certain this arrangement will benefit pool throughout the Country.
I’m really pleased that this partnership gives me the chance to work closely with SPA representatives such as Ross McInnes and Mick McGoldrick. In my opinion the SPA are the best organised pool association in the UK and there’s so much we will be able to achieve by working together”.

Rileys Pool and Snooker Manager on 07825 308083

England Victorious in Glasgow |

England Students won the inaugural Student Eight-ball Pool Home Internationals with a tense, nervy win over a Wales team that pushed them all the way.
England finished the first day with a perfect record of two wins from two including a strong 11-5 defeat of the much fancied Northern Ireland side. A Northern Ireland backlash followed as they destroyed Wales, who had earlier beaten Scotland by the odd frame, 11-1. Like Scotland, Ireland also emerged from the first day losing their only match.
The second day began with Scotland and Wales recording wins over Northern Ireland and Ireland respectively. The tournament was then thrown wide open as Scotland recorded their second win of the tournament with an excellent 11-8 defeat of the auld enemy England. The other match of the session was do-or-die as the loser was out of the running. Ireland were too good for Northern Ireland beating them 11-6 and condemning them to bottom spot.
The final session was pivotal. England beat Wales 11-5 which meant that no matter what Ireland did they couldn’t make the final. However, if Scotland beat them they would make the final at Wales’ expense. With Ireland comfortably 10-4 up the Wales team were getting ready for the final but then Scotland mounted a comeback. Thankfully for Wales it wasn’t enough and Ireland closed the match out 11-8 meaning an England-Wales final.
Wales got off to a flyer shocking the England team with a 6-0 lead. As crisis talks were going on in the England camp Nick Veuger started the England comeback and they went on to win five frames on the bounce before Jon Tyrrell stopped the rot keeping Wales just ahead 7-5. Veuger, Rich Wharton and Joe Tonkin took frames to put England in the lead for the first time but it was short-lived as Dev Chadha and Yura Sevcenco re-established the Wales lead 9-8. Wales’ Ben Dabson missed a good chance to get to the hill leaving England’s Kushal Vadi with an easy finish to square the match 9-9.
Wales’ sub Gareth Liu-Evans was close to dishing off a dry break but Jay Murphy took England to the hill. The honour of potting the winning 8-ball came to Rich Wharton who, with two visits, missed a double on the 8-ball and left himself with a tough long pot to win. He held his nerve and despatched the 8-ball much to the joy of his team mates.
The win also meant that England defended the BUSA Home Nations title and Ireland took the HESPC Shield for the best placed Irish side. Rich Wharton took the MVP award with a perfect 8 wins from 8 frames played in the round robin stages of the team event.
Players from England Students dominated the Student International Masters providing six of the quarter-finalists and three of the semi-finalists. The first semi-final was an all-England affair with Jay Murphy getting the better of Nick Veuger 3-1. In the other semi-final Ireland’s David Columb prevented it being an all-England final with a fine win over current BUSA-UPC Individual Champion Rich Wharton.
David Columb streaked to a 3-0 lead in the final and had a good chance to wrap it up before Jay Murphy came back to level the match with a break and dish making it 3-3. David Columb then missed a break and dish before Jay Murphy claimed what turned into an edgy frame and with it the title.

Rileys to Sponsor 2008 SEPF Region 1 Tour |
|

Sunday, April 06 @ 19:30:17 BST (98 reads) |

Mike Clark writes: "
It gives me great pleasure to announce that SEPF Region 1 has secured a new sponsor. Rileys Ltd, with over 165 clubs, are probably the biggest name in Pool and Snooker in the UK, and have recently extended their in-club services to include Poker.
Rileys have two clubs in Aberdeen. By May, there will be six traditional style pool tables installed at their Bridge Place club, next to Aberdeen’s bus and train stations.
In 2008, this will provide a venue for:
- Men’s Premier Section Events.
- Men’s Aberdeen Section Events.
- North East 5-Man Team Event.
- North East Singles Event.
- North East Scotch Doubles Event.
- Junior’s Tour Section Events.
- Other SEPF National Events.
Since the men’s tour split into two regions in 2007, the total number of tour members increased to 118 (73 in Region 1 - 45 in Region 2).
Throughout the first season, it became obvious that there were some improvements which could be made to the tour to suit the players, so the structure is changing:
- The Region 1 Tour is being merged with the NESPT Tour.
- The NESPT will no longer exist.
- The ranking lists will be merged to ensure players are ranked accordingly.
- The new look Region 1 Tour will be divided into sections.
- All tour events will be played over one day.
- Entry fees are reduced where possible.
- Events are held in local venues meaning less travelling.
- All players have an even fairer chance to qualify for the Scotland Squad.
The tour has now been split into different sections, these are:
Premier Section
- for the top 32 ranked players.
- venues to be Rileys, Bridge Place, Aberdeen and Station Hotel, Ellon.
Aberdeen Section
- for all other players in Aberdeen, Stonehaven and surrounding areas.
- venue to be Rileys, Bridge Place, Aberdeen.
East Coast Section
- for all other players in Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Boddam, Cruden, Ellon and surrounding areas.
- venues to be Top Break Club, Peterhead and any other suitable venues.
Moray Section
- for all other players in Elgin, Lossiemouth, Hopeman, Burghead and surrounding areas.
- venue to be decided.
