Billiard team urged to win
JAKARTA (JP): The national billiard and snooker team needs a
morale boosting win in a trilateral tournament in Singapore from
Oct. 15 to 20, before entering the 18th Southeast Asian Games in
December.
Chairman of the National Sports Council Wismoyo Arismunandar
urged the 16 billiard and snooker players yesterday to learn from
their experiences during the warm-up competition. Athletes from
Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei will pit their skills in a
tournament which follows the SEA Games format.
The 18th SEA Games billiard and snooker competitions offer 12
gold medals, with Indonesia poised to steal two from both singles
and doubles nine-ball rotations. Coach Andrie Ben, however, said
that Indonesia could add another gold from singles English
billiards. (amd)
