Two Tasmanian brothers represent Australia at pool world championships

Ethan and Shayden Brown represented Australia at the World Pool Association blackball world championships in London.

Brothers Ethan and Shayden Brown grew up in a shed in Rocherlea playing pool. In October, they headed to London for the World Pool Association blackball world championships.

Shayden qualified automatically through his performances at the national championships. Ethan ranked 13th on the list before being called up to compete.

At the tournament, they met players from across the globe. One was former world number one Chris Melling.

Ethan's four-year-old son Harvey travelled as the team's unofficial mascot. He was already dreaming of following his father into the sport.
