Morris Leonor receiving the Championship trophy at the Centre Carougeois de Billard
Morris Leonor of the Philippines started the year 2010 like a roaring tiger as he devoured Tony Truong of Vietnam 7-3 in today’s finals of the 10th Asian 9-Ball Tournament at the Centre Carougeois de Billard, at the old town of Carouge in Geneva.
The Filipino veteran player went into an early offensive to take the first 2 racks. Not to be outdone, the cue master from Ho Chi Minh City fought back and equalized the score at 2-2. Then the next rack went to Leonor. Again, Truong retaliated by tying the score 3-3. However, the next 4 straight racks was taken by Leonor as he took control of the table with his perfect ball positioning, precise pocketing and defensive safeties.
In the contest for the 3rd and 4th place, it was a heartbreak neck-to-neck battle between two Filipino billiard buddies. Val Arceo nipped Jimmy Menguita 6-5 in an exciting tit-for-tat battle. In the end, the pool gods gave the good rolls to Val Arceo as he pumped in the last few balls plus the 9 ball to inch his way past Menguita.
The PBC-Geneva welcomes the year of the Tiger with a big bang as the cue masters battle it out anew at the 10th Asian 9-Ball Tournament on the 17th of January 2010 at 2 pm, at the Centre Carougeois de Billard, 36 Av. du Cardinal– Mermillod, 1227 Carouge.
After a very successful tour last year, this year’s Asian Tour promises to be more exciting than ever. We are aiming to expand and increase our membership to include more Asian players in the only major Asian pool league in Switzerland.
We would like to thank our members, players, fans and supporters who helped us build the Asian Tours. Thank you for your support and we hope that together we will continue promoting the billiard sport among our people here in Geneva.
As we begin the New Year, we would like to invite other Asian players to come and join us in this fun-filled day of pool competition. A registration fee of 35 CHF will be charged for each participating player. Players are requested to be present 15 minutes before game time.
