Boyes and Peach book Last 64 spot

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

daryl_peach_12 Blackpool's Karl Boyes and Daryl Peach have made it through to the knock out stages of the World 9 Ball Championship in the Philippines.

In his debut in the World Pool Championship, Boyes disposed of 2004 runner up Chang Pei-wei 9-6 then beat Serbia's Goran Mladenovic 9-4.

Qualifying was the perfect birthday present for Boyes - who was celebrating his 25th birthday - as his pre-tournament aim was to make the Last 64 cut.

Peach lost his first game 9-1 to Matjaz Erculj but then kicked in with a 9-3 win over last year's quarter finalist Rodolfo Luat and 9-5 victory over India's Dharminder Singh Lilly to qualify, too.

Peach is now up against the holder - Ronnie Alcano - on the main table while Boyes faces Sandor Tot.

World 9 Ball Pool Championships - promoted by Matchroom - 3-11 November.
