NO EURO CRISIS IN DUBLIN Economies may be in crisis across the continent but pool's stock couldn't be higher as the forthcoming European Championships are expected to prove. In fact, this month's tournament at the Green Isle Hotel, Dublin (February 20-24) promises to be one of the largest ever staged. More than 300 players will descend on the Irish capital, ensuring at least for a few days local businesses will benefit from a valuable injection of euro. Indeed, with a total prize fund of 12,000 euro, some players will go home with more cash than they came. Malta's Clayton Attard and Ulster born Emma Cunningham were first time winners in 2011 adding their names to illustrious rolls of honour. Current WEPF world champion, Adam Davis, and former winners, Mick Hill, Darren Appleton and Jason Twist are past men's champions while Lisa Quick and Lynette Horsburgh both ex ladies world title holders are among Cunningham's predecessors. Wales and Ireland hope to retain their respective team trophies but watch out for a potentially formidable challenge from the Scots. Conspicuous by their absence on the winners' boards in previous seasons, the Tartan Army is on the march to the Republic with a squad of over 70. The re-emergence of the Scottish 8-Ball Pool Federation has re-vitalised the game north of the border. The organisation has quadrupled in size in the past 12 months and is still growing. So, much so they could be serious contenders for the major prizes at the Green Isle. As is customary, England will be represented in all categories including juniors, under 21's, wheelchair and over 50's. Indeed, the latter age group is proving popular not just in England but throughout pool playing nations. And with regular competitions, outside the major tournaments, it shows you’re never too old to pot balls! Also encouraging for the spread of the sport on mainland Europe is the re-birth of France as a potting power. They are sending five teams to Dublin while neighbours Belgium will be represented by an A and B men's sides plus ladies team. Further evidence of the game's growth is the expecting hosting in Spain of the 2013 European Championships followed by a return to Malta 12 months later. Judging by the entry list and support given by the European 8-Ball Pool Federation, many nations are getting their acts together which all bodes well for a fantastic WEPF World Championship at Blackpool in June.
