​10 Ball Pool - 2015 New Zealand National 10 Ball Championship
31st October - 1st November / ACBS Clubrooms, Auckland, New Zealand

                 MAGIC MARVIN RECOVERS

                TO LIFT MORE SILVERWARE

Marvin Padrigo is the new National 10 Ball Pool Champion after a close fought final victory over last year’s winner, and New Zealand’s number 1, Matthew Edwards.

As one of the top 8 seeds, Padrigo was spared Saturday’s qualifying and placed straight into the Last 32 double elimination bracket.

There he won his opening two ties comfortably, before suffering a 6-3 loss to Will Wen (which he would later avenge by the same scoreline), pushing him to the longer haul losers side.

However, he managed to come through five matches for the opportunity to face World Cup of Pool star Edwards in the championship match - which he would win 8-6.

It means Padrigo now holds the New Zealand 'Grand Slam' - the Regional, North Island and National 10 Ball Titles.
