13th Groningen open,

Last Sunday there was the Griningen open. And i dont know how they do it but it is always nice weather on the final day of the tournament.

64 players single elimination and first 3 rounds a race to 7. So you better hit them goos straight ahead or else you could be out without doing much wrong. First 4 rounds i won pretty easy against Michel Drenth 7-2, Don Dubois 7-2, Johan Koops 7-4 and inthe Quarters 8-2.

In the semis i played the only 18 year old Ramazan Dincer from Germany. He played very well on me and on hill hill he had a tough shot on the 1 ball which he missed. I ran out for the win but some credit for him and his game. In the Finals against Christian Reimering. My break wasnt working at all. Made a ball only once. He made some tough shots. I lost 10-6, so a nice 2nd place this time.

I would like to thank Zandrie Bolks the owner of Cue Action Groningen for putting up this event every year. Many poolroomowners have cancelled there open tournaments due to a lack of players. Zandrie wasnt one of them, Thanks and see you next year.
