The British and the surprisingly tough Greeks battled to a 1-1 standoff after the two 8-ball doubles but victories by Mark Gray (8-4 over Alexandros Kazaqui) and Imran Majid (8-6 over Nik Ekomonopoulos) in the 9-ball matches shifted the momentum to the Britishâs side. However, Peach failed to wrap up match point for Britain, yielding a 4-7 setback to Aristides Damoylakis in the first 10-ball play. To their rescue was Appleton, who drubbed Evangelos Vettas, 7-4, in the next 10-ball match to send Team Britain into the finale against the Pinoys. On their way to their semis win and championship stint, the Filipinos edged Norway in the Last 16, 4-2, and Poland in the quarterfinals, 4-2. The British, for their part, shut out the Ralf Souquet-led Germany in the Last 16, 4-0, and edged China in the Last 8, 4-3. The RP-Britain finale is set on Sunday (Monday in Manila). - GMANews.TV
