Pinoy cue artists strike in Germany

February 4, 2010

The Philippine pool team competing in the first-ever World Team Championship served notice of its title aspirations by whipping Great Britain II, 4-0, in Round 1 Sunday.

The Philippines beat Britain in two 8-Ball pair events.

First to showcase their wares was the combo of double world champion Ronnie Alcano and former Asian snooker titlist Marlon Manalo, who earned the victory the hard way over their British rivals, 6-5.

The other Pinoy pair of Lee Van Corteza and Warren Kiamco pulled off a 6-4 triumph over another British duo.

Alcano and veteran campaigner Antonio Lining also made good account of themselves in the individual matches to keep the Filipinos winning.

Alcano, the only Filipino to win the World 8-Ball and World 9-Ball titles, nipped Michael Valentine, 8-6, while Lining whipped Chris Meiling, 8-4. Sikat ang Pinoy now gain another honor to the country.

Because the Pinoys had already secured four matches against the British, the 10-Ball games between Dennis Orcullo and Mick Hill and Corteza versus Craig Osborne, were no longer played
