11th Weber Cup returns to Barnsley Metrodome in November
02/26/10
Matchroom Sport, organizer of the USA vs. Europe Weber Cup has announced that the 11th annual edition will take place at the Metrodome in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th November as ten of the best bowlers representing the USA and Europe return to do battle.
Team Europe will enter proceedings as defending champions following a superb 17-11 win over the USA at the same venue last year. That moved the overall score to 6-4 in favor of the USA with everything to play for.
The Weber Cup is tenpin bowling's version of golf's Ryder Cup as two five-man teams from Europe and the USA do battle over three days in a series of Singles, Doubles and Baker format Team matches.
The Metrodome in Barnsley has successfully hosted this competition and the World Tenpin Masters since 2005 and has established itself as a hugely successful venue for major league televised bowling.
The Weber Cup will be staged over five sessions – Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening, and Sunday afternoon and evening. Tickets will be available from Matchroom Sport nearer the time.
All the action will be produced by Matchroom Sport television and subsequently broadcast on Sky Sports as 18 x one hour programs as well as various stations around the world.
In other tenpin news, regrettably the World Tenpin Masters will not be taking place in 2010, following twelve years of the event. This is due to the world-wide economic downturn but Matchroom Sport will be looking to stage the event once again should circumstances alter.
