Paul Rooney-Sponsored Nigel Bond Wins Snooker Shoot-Out Tournament

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The Paul Rooney Partnership are delighted for British snooker player Nigel Bond, who was recently crowned champion of the inaugural Snooker Shoot-Out tournament.

The Partnership was a proud sponsor of 45-year-old Bond for the three-day snooker tournament, held in the Circus Arena of the world famous Blackpool Tower.

The Snooker Shoot-Out is a brand new format for the sport, and features the world’s top 64 players competing against each other in short; 10-minute matches lasting for just one frame.

Bond, currently ranked number 37 in the world, clinched the first-ever Snooker Shoot-Out title after beating fellow Englishman Robert Milkins 58-24 in the final. The success was Bond’s first victory in a televised snooker tournament for 14 years, having previously won the 1996 British Open.

Speaking after his success, Nigel said: “It’s amazing to be a champion again after all these years. It’s been a fantastic event. I came to see how far I can go. Anybody can win it, as you’ve seen.

“I know I was hitting the ball fairly well and felt OK in myself. It suited me down to the ground. With the shot clock you’ve got no time to think, you go for the first ball you see and knock it in the hole. It stops you thinking about what can go wrong.”

After his Snooker Shoot-Out success, for which he picked up a cheque for £32,000, Bond made a note to thank his sponsors for helping him to victory, including the Paul Rooney Partnership.
