Pink Ribbon Tournament ready for its second year
P. Mount with M.Holt, the 1st winner of the Pink Ribbon |
It’s been a year since the first edition (that also meant the official opening of the SWSA) of this tournament took place and now it’s time to have a second one. More powerful and more pink that ever, the 2011 Pink Ribbon tournament it’s ready to be launched at sea. It stands for a better snooker, but also for making people aware of this horrible disease named breat cancer. So during 1-5 of June, the beautiful South West Snooker Academy will open its doors (not that they are ever closed) to twice the number of last year participants.
Several months ago I was fortunate enough as to interview Mr. Paul Mount, the proud creator of what we now call the SWSA, and I know that the Academy’s first year of life was a year filled with nothing but hard work and more hard work. A child’s dream to putting together a special place so the snooker players can practice and have the best conditions so one day they will conquer people’s hearts was transformed into reality. As the SWSA was born, Paul Mount recruited a genuine Pink Army, an army that has the likes of Jimmy White, Reanne Evans or Tony Drago.
The rule at hand is "the best of 7” from the preliminary rounds to the final, the whole event being fully covered by the South West Snooker Academy official website. However, I also promise to keep you in touch with what happens daily in Gloucester, so don’t forget to take a glance from time to time to this blog ;-)
Day 1 (June 1st) schedule and matches:
From 7pm

“Snooker, my love” wishes best of luck to all players. May the Pink Ribbon tournament begin! :-)
