Obviously to organise a big event like this needs great support from volunteers who gave up their personal time to help with setting up the tables plus the other things required.

I would like to give thanks to Cyril Triffitt, Tony Cannan, Rob McCauley, Chris and Mandy Snare.  A very Special thanks also goes to Salty who has worked tirelessly over the last two years to help to organise this Nationals and also Greg Dingle who has offered assistance from afar on various items.
 
A huge thanks to Hayley Chugg, Conference and Events Coordinator here at the Country Club who has shown us her complete professionalism in all aspects of her organisational skills. Whenever we have requested anything from Hayley in relation to making this Nationals run smoothly, she has gone out of her way to ensure it has been done.

Also to the maintenance staff at the Country Club who have been very accommodating in all our requests and without their help we would not of been able to set the room up as smoothly.
 
I wish all players the best on an off the table and hope that even though the schedule is going to be very hectic for some, you actually get to enjoy your time here when off the tables.

I know the Country Club will make your stay as comfortable as possible.

2016 World Eight Ball Junior Singles Champion: Matt Curwood

Matt Curwood is the new WEPF World 8-Ball Pool junior singles champion after a dramatic finish to his final with Malta’s Scott Muscat.

Curwood, from the Victorian gold town of Ballarat, struck it rich as he came from 5-3 and 6-4 down to win 8-6. And the 18-year-old Australian champion, was part of the Green and Gold squad to defeat England 13-11 in the junior team final. His compatriots gave great vocal support in the Washington Suite as Curwood came through to succeed England’s Aaron Davies as champion “I didn’t really practice too much before I came over but it’s the best thing I have ever won,” said happy Curwood. “It’s a great feeling to win two world titles. “And I’m really happy to have won, especially as this is the last year as a junior,” added Curwood who whitewashed Ireland’s Adam Maher 7-0 in the semi-finals and England’s Murad Iqbal 7-4 in the quarters.

Curwood won three of his four frames in the team final as the Aussie youngsters retained their title. His only blemish was defeat to Keiron Phillips that allowed England to draw level at 10-all. However, Stone Stenhouse, Hayden Gunn and Alex Kingsbury took three of the next four frames while Alex Pace was the remaining member of the Australian squad. The England line-up was: Phillips, Iqbal, Ben Welfare, Kieron Lennon and Justin Field.
