At just 17 years of age Phil Burford is proving to be one of the most exciting youngsters to join the British 9-ball pool scene. He consistently competes at the highest level in both adult and junior tournaments, having won many titles including British Junior Champion and the prestigious "BPPPA Junior Player of the Year Award". Phil also represented Great Britain in the European Youth Pool Championships in 2005, 2006 and most recently in 2007 where the team won silver medal. He has made an excellent start to the 2008 season by consecutively reaching the final and semi-final of the first two Pro Division events of the new GB 9 Ball Tour.
