BRIAN CRILLY 2015 EUROPEAN INDIVIDUAL BLACKBALLCHAMPION


2015 EUROPEAN CHAMPION
Northern Ireland has a new European Champion. Brian Crilly swept all before him to lift the trophy beating John Brownlie from Scotland 6-4 in the Seniors Final in the Spa Arena, Bridlington on Thursday 16th April 2015.

The Bangor man had a very hard path to the final but overcame all put in front of him to lift the trophy, It's a very proud moment for Brian and the NIPA for his dedication over the years. Well done Big B.

Unfortunately our 3 Teams who reached Semi Finals all fell. The Masters A Team got off to a slow start and although they pulled it back to within one frame, they lost out 8-13 to England. Our Masters B Team lost out to England B, but pushed them all the way to 10-13. It was heartbreak for our Ladies A Team as they led a very strong France team 12-10 but 3 great finishes from the French seen them edge over the line at 13-12.

A big thanks to every player who travelled to Bridlington to represent TEAM NI over the 10 days of play. You were all great ambassadors for NI
