'Prince' Michael of Pune
After an outstanding personal performance by Mike Russell in the final stages of the IBSF World Open Billiards Championship in Pune, India, Russell has re-established himself as the undisputed World Champion of English Billiards. With only Pankaj Advani, the spirited Indian, offering any real challenge, Mike sailed through the championship leaving his opponents floundering in the wake of his formidable and extraordinary talent. Focussed from the start of this championship Mike gave an unbelievable display of his awesome concentration and technique. An event which will long be remembered by the billiards enthusiasts on the Indian Continent.
The English Amateur Billiards Association congratulates Mike Russell and Billy Bousfield (Mike’s friend and most ardent supporter) on their success in India, for flying the EABA flag, and for retaining the supremacy of England on the world billiards scene.
