So the 17th staging of the Ryder Cup of Pool is just 7 days and a few hours away. Over the last week the country has been hit by record breaking levels of snow, even worse than last year, something I never thought could happen.
The teams have been named, the venue is set, and the betting is available on all major bookmakers websites. One thing that isn't set, is the Americans are not due to land until Monday and Tuesday (6th & 7th of Dec). From a spectators point of view will everyone who has purchased tickets brave the weather conditions? And even if they want to, will they be haulted due to the snow?
Personally unless the snow gets significantly worse making it virtually impossible to travel, I will do everything in my power to get there, not just because I have always wanted to go to a Mosconi Cup, and it's the first time in eight years it has been held in the UK, but also because my hotel is booked and paid for as is my tickets, although they haven't arrived yet.
Jimmy White has qualified for the UK snooker Championship and will play Stephen Hendry on Sunday and Monday. I'm waiting for the 2018 FIFA World Cup hosts to be announced in an hour, I've been saving up since June!
Our boys are doing great in Reno at the World wheelchair 9-ball Championship, Roy Kimberley, Danny Luton and Matt Duffy are still in as I write, it looks like we've got a great chance of finally having a wheelchair World 9-ball pool Champion.
Thanks for reading, check back next week for Mosconi Cup related blog posts.
