Mark McDonald
Nickname:"The Bear"
Mark started his cuesports carrer by playing snooker at the age of 12. After a year of playing snooker he played in a mens 9 ball competetions for a laugh and ended up winning the tournamen. That's when Mark first started to play nine ball. The tournament director took a bit of a shine to him and has been my manager ever since. Once Mark started to learn more about the game he entered into the All Ireland Tournament. Hei was beat in the final 9.7.
Mark fell in love with the game and began to play competitely. Results have came pretty quick for him early in his career winning the Mens 2005 Open in Belfast at the age of 15. Definately keep and eye on this up-and-comer!
