Jérôme Barbeillon, final win after a great start

LUNEL - Jérôme Barbeillon was thinking about Dick Jaspers' magical record, for a while. The Frenchman started in the final of the French ranking tournament in Lunel this Sunday with 9 and 12, bringing 21-0 on the scoreboard after two innings. ,,I thought, if I make 19 now, I have bettered Jaspers' world record'', Barbeillon said later with a smile.

But it was just an illusion. Barbeillon: ,,Who will ever break that record?'' Barbeillon, however, won the ranking tournament after a victory in the final against Gwendal Marechal, who came very close in the second half of the match: 40-37 in 23 innings (average 1.739 against 1.652).

In the semi-finals Barbeillon defeated Michael Devogelaere 40-34 in 31, Marechal won against Francis Connesson 40-18 in 24.

The top 8 ranking:
1 Jérôme Barbeillon 1.398
2 Gwendal Marshal 1.311
3 Mikael Devogelaere 1.047
4 Francis Connesson 1.380
5 Frédéric Beghin 1.311
6 Cédric Melnytschenko 1.077
7 Vincent Facquet 0.918
8 Frédéric Roelants 0.960.
