Back home from Bergen after a good weekend playing pool. There were 67 players in the event, three women and the rest men. I started with a 8-3 win over Thomas Stavang Pedersen (Oslo BK) Then I met our sportsdirector, Christian Johannesen (Oslo BK), and lost 4-8. I had a few shots in the beginning of the match were I did not execute the shot properly and Christian off course punished me for that. In the looser side I won my qualifying match 8-2 against Jan-Egil Johansen (Reisa). I was playing really solid and hope for an ok draw… but no:) I got Roger Rasmussen (Strømmen) and the balls just seemed to fly down one way or the other… I lost 4-8 and ended in 17th place. At least I got some points for the ranking and moved up a bit:)

All in all I have had a good poolweekend, playing solid most of the time. 19th of september I am going to Oslo to play Nordic Pool Championships and in october it is WC 9-ball. I am on route:)
