THE ever increasing popularity of the game of pool in Mutare has ushered in an upsurge in the number of local competitions with Dangamvura’s trendy hangout, Villa Spot, set to host yet another two-day One-Man Pool Tournament this weekend.

The tournament starts at 12pm.

In recent years, the annual national pool flagship competition – the Black Label tournament – was the only snooker contest that received much attention, but of late more tournaments have emerged.

Only last week, Curvelake’s upcoming player, Talent Kangiremu, defied all odds to win a one-man pool tournament that was held at Sakubva Musika.

Kangiremu won the tournament ahead of Tagaz’ Rodney Chidziya who settled for second position, while Fantasy Clubs’ Stephen Chingwingwi, Mutare Pool League chairperson, weighed in third position.

Chingwingwi thanked the local business community for their continued support for the game of pool by availing resources for more competitions.

“I think we owe it to the local business community for their continued support for the game of pool by availing resources for more competitions.

“They have been helping us a lot. I hope the trend continues as we seek to develop the game in the city as well as the province at large,” said Chingwingwi.

He confirmed that there will be prizes for the winner up to fourth position.

However, it remains to be seen whether the 2015 Black Label Pool tournament provincial runner-up, Gladman Matanga, who ruled the roost in the Villa One-Man Pool Tournament which was played at the popular joint, Villa Spot will repeat the same feat at the same venue this weekend.

The gifted Matanga, who turns out for Soul City, claimed pole position ahead of Fantasy’s Pride Ngome who settled for second position, while Lloyd Guwira came third.
