Brakpan Pool Club does more than just participate in the EGPA league and nationals. They hold one-on-one challenges with cash prizes too, and the past few weeks four of these challenges took place.

The challenge is simple: the first person to win nine games wins the cash prize. Seven players recently took on the challenge:

On August 25, club co-owner Shawn ‘Bigdog’ Raper took on Ian ‘Rossi’ Ross and won 9-3.
On August 29, Christian ‘Havoc’ Stewart took on Warren ‘The Wizard’ Esmonde-White, losing 7-9.
That same night, Werner ‘Werrie Peri Peri’ Boshof beat AJ ‘Silent Killer’ Engelbrecht 9-6.
On September 5, Shawn took on another opponent, the young Enrico Muller, who won 9-8.
