Irish Pool – TYRONE UNDER-23 POOL TEAM
Irish Pool – The Irish Pool Association also introduced a new 8-ball event in the under-23 category at the 2010 All Ireland Inter County Team Finals which was also well supported from counties throughout Ireland which seen Tyrone Pool Association putting in a gallant effort to reach the final only to get defeated in the very last game with the match sitting at 4-4 against a very strong Cavan team which included past and present internationals including the 2007 European 8-Ball Champion Stephen Dempsey.
Tyrone reached the final with some brilliant victories over Westmeath, Leitrim, Wexford before losing a last game decider in the final against a strong Cavan team on a 5-4 score-line.
These young men should be very proud of themselves producing a wonderful performance against top class players and teams from throughout Ireland and hopefully will return one day to claim this category title.
