Addinall joining IPA tour
A local eight-ball pool player is looking to go where no Manxman has gone before.
David Addinall has been competing internationally at amateur level for several years - and in 2018 he's taking the plunge to try and make it as a professional.
Normally based at the Whitestone pub in Ballasalla, the 35-year-old will now be competing on the International Professional Pool Players Association Tour.
The IPA runs an annual five-event series that tours the UK, a 'World Series' competition, and the annual Professional World Championships.
His first televised match will be in the Champions Cup on 9 April - live on Freesports TV.
David told Dollin Mercer he's already got lots of experience competing both domestically and overseas:
Football: Peel crowned women's league champions
Cricket: Squad announced for men's T20 series against Guernsey
League Two's Shrewsbury Town among visitors for Summer Festival of Football
Isle of Man chasing Commonwealth Games basketball dream
Charities partnering for coast-to-coast cycling challenge in Scotland
