CAM-Sponsored Richard Gifford heads to the World Eightball Pool Federation Championship

CAM-sponsored Richard Gifford is heading to the prestigious World Eightball Pool Federation championship in Killarney, Ireland between 19th and 27th October 2022.

Riding high following his recent win at the Welsh Open, Gifford is hoping to retain his current run of good form.

“The Welsh Open started a little slow, but overall I played ok. I did what I needed to do and beat the 64-man field, coming out Welsh Open Men’s Singles winner!”

Gifford’s game plan for the upcoming World Eightball Pool Federation championship is as practical, as his recent Welsh Open win is modest.

“I am feeling a lot more confident after the Welsh Open. But my strategy is still the same. Play the balls and take the chances when they come.”

As a 2017 quarter-finalist at the World Eightball Pool Federation championship, Gifford is aiming to beat his previous record. Currently ranking 18th, Gifford has everything to play for as he competes in the Men’s Masters, the Men’s Doubles alongside fellow Welsh player Spencer Jones, in the Men’s Welsh team and in the 11 nation Team Shootout.
