The BWPPA tour visited a new venue on the weekend of 2-3 July 2022 at Riley’s Leicester. Current no.1 ranked player Fred Dinsmore (Ire) won the previous event in Birmingham. There was a good field of 10 players competing for the 1st prize of £250, and we had a few absentees due to illness. First round action saw Wales’s Phil Hendrickson beat Frankie ‘Hot Wheels’ Gillen 7/3, whilst Gary Swift edged his friend John Greensmith in hill-hill battle. Other action in the early stages through up some good matches, but the top 4 seeds, Fred Dinsmore, Roy Kimberley, Dave Beaumont and Tony Southern, all made it through to the winner’s qualification round for the 2nd event in a row, with wins over Hendrickson, Swift, Danny Luton and Geoff Bland respectively. Other action on the loser’s side saw Swift beat Gillen 6/3 and Hendrickson beat Greensmith 6/3. In the winner’s qualifiers, Southern beat an under the weather Dinsmore 7/4, whilst Beaumont hammered Kimberley beat Beaumont 7/1. In the losers’ side later stages, Dinsmore beat Luton 6/4 and Kimberley whitewashed Hendrickson 6/0, to both reach the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, Dinsmore lost out on yet another final with a 7/5 loss to Beaumont, and in the other semi-final, Southern lost to Kimberley 7/4. It was to be a Kimberley v Beaumont final. The first 8 racks were all close and shared at 4/4, but then Kimberley took the last 3 racks to win title. A video of the main event final is available to watch here.
