WPC FINALS
Cool, composed Peach
foils Gomez in thriller
BY CEDELF TUPAS
It took a steel-nerved performance from Daryl Peach of England that outlasted Roberto “Superman” Gomez and broke Filipino hearts in the World Pool Championships last night.
Minimizing his mistakes and making most of his opportunities, Peach pulled off a title-clinching 17-15 victory, dashing the hopes of a spirited crowd that was looking forward to a new Filipino champion at the Araneta Coliseum last night.
Gomez was two racks away from a historic win on the 28 th rack but fouled while jumping cue on the red-three after a long safety exchange and Peach was quick to pounce on the chance that came his way. 
| Henares ready for POF finals The trainer of Filipino-Canadian sprinter Jami Dawn Henares, the lone entry from Bacolod City in the Philippine Olympic Festival finals in Manila next week, said her ward is ready for battle, five days before the competition kicks off at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. “She has the right mindset and is very focused,” trainer Franklin Echevarria said of Henares, who won two golds and a silver in the POF Visayas Qualifiers in Iloilo City in September. “She is well-prepared and in control, although she is a little nervous,” Echevarria said. |
