Poland win APAT European Team Championships

Over in Luton at the G Casino, the 2009 APAT European Amateur Team Championship was taking place over the weekend with 12 countries fighting to take down this prestigious title. The event was held over two days, with each of the teams comprising four players, battling it out over a series of 80 Six Max Sit & Go and Heads Up matches with points awarded according to finishing positions.

The English team led the way after day one and well into the second day, but fell by the wayside in the final two rounds, under achieving and finishing in 3rd place and allowing Polamd to capture the title after winning a best of three heads up tie break with France. The winning team took a team prize of £3,200, Championship Cup and Gold medals, with France and England also receiving prize money and Silver and Bronze medals.

The final result was as follows:

Poland – 65 (Poland win play off)
France – 65
England – 57
Hungary – 55
Portugal – 55
Scotland – 52
Northern Ireland – 50
Germany – 49
Italy – 46
Wales – 44
Republic of Ireland – 38
