Hull aims for his 4rd final in 30 years
Runner-up at 1993 European Snooker Championship and European Snooker Champion in 1997, Finland’s Robin Hull is one step away from his 3rd final of the Men’s competition this 2023 in Malta: the best of 7 Frames semifinal 1 round match of the Men’s competition where the aged 48 Finland’s competitor faces Scotland’s Ross Muir is underway at St. Paul’s Bay Dolmen Hotel.
Fantastic resilience from Hull: in 1993, 30 years ago, and playing at home soil (Helsinki) he was in the decisive clash but England’s Neil Mosley claimed victory and the title by 8 Frames to 6. Four years laters – and still… 26 years ago -. Hull played his 2nd European Snooker Championships final, facing Iceland’s Kristjan Helgasson and he lifted the trophy, prevailing in the best of 13 Frames match in which he trailed from 3-0 down to claim 7 Frames in a row for his belt and the crown (7-3), a match in which the now EBSA Chairman Maxime Cassis was the referee, played in Biarritz (France).
A lot of experience from Robin Hull, one of 2 competitors this Saturday who can still stop Scotland’s dream of a Grand Final among 2 players from this last country. The other one is Ireland’s Ross Bulman, at his 1st European Snooker Championships Men’s competition semifinals: he is the last obstacle for the 2nd Scotland competitor in the semis, Michael Collumb, in a also best of 7 Frames semifinal 2 round match schedules to start at 1 p.m. also this Saturday March 18th. Semifinal 1 as Bosnian Almedin Hodzic as referee and Moldavian Catalin Cojoc as marker.
The best of 9 Frames Grand Final match of the 2023 EBSA European Snooker Championship, the 415th match of this yeas competition for 177 gladiators, is scheduled to start from 6 p.m. also this Saturday in Malta.
