Ssb - brecel's belgian triumph

[MySockPuppet]

Luca Brecel at 15 has become the youngest ever Belgian national champion.

Brecel defeated Bjorn Haneveer, who reached the last 32 of last season's China Open, 7-4 in the final.

He compiled a 136 total clearance to win the third frame and won the last having needed three snookers with five reds remaining.

Remarkably, Brecel had only started using a new cue last week.

Brecel, who won the European under 19 title last year, will represent his country in the European amateur championship in Bucharest later this week.

He is eligible to turn professional next year.

BRECEL has had amazing skills for years, works hard to become a pro,
utilizes social media well, especially YouTube, to increase his deserved
exposure and continues on his climb to who-knows-what-heights?!?!
Congratulations! Félicitations! Gelukwensen!

One thing though.
15 YO. OMG!!!
Adolescence in Belgium where they have some of the most beautiful beers
[ fermented ones like “morte subite” = "sudden death" or “delirium tremens” = "jimjams" ]
and tastiest women in the world [ Who can **** your **** every which way ]
Acne will be the least of your problems lad!

Well done Luca Brecel...AMAZING!:snooker:

Fair achievement to win your national title at 15.

I remember Ken Doherty reaching the final of the 1985 Irish Amateur Championship at the same age, except Ken lost to the Irish no. 1 of the time, Gay Burns.

The point is, Ken went on to become one of the best players of his generation, and even back in 1985 it was obvious that he was something special.

Brecel obviously has at least as much talent and probably more flair and potting ability than the Irishman, yet cannot be guaranteed to even stay on the tour, such is the depth of talent which is now on the circuit.

Indeed, out of all the potential young worldbeaters we have been alerted to over the last few years, only one, Judd Trump, is in the top 32.

I suppose Allen and Wenbo might be included but you'd hardly call them newcomers.

Perhaps another reason why the young guns are finding it so difficult to break through is the lack of tournaments and the repressive ranking system that favours the established elite.

Maybe the new season will throw up a new star or two, now that equal opportunity appears to be closer than ever. We shall see.
