Champion shunter (GBR) Simon Wright |
Congratulations to 13-year-old Simon Wright (GBR) from Belfast, Northern Ireland, the no. 1 seed, who retained his World Junior title by staging a spectacular comeback against 12-year-old Chris Hill (NZL) in the second session of the Final. Two games down after the first session, he first ended Chris's amazing 16-game unbeaten run in the tournament by winning game 3 then won three more games as well to win by 70.6-49.4 TPs. Both players played well though, riding their luck expertly when the tiles were with them and keeping things tight when they were not.
Áron H (HUN) came 3rd for the second year in a row, beating last year's runner-up Brett Laishley (AUS) in the 3rd place match.
