Kiely comes from the loss side to win Iron Table Tour stop at Branford Cue & Brew in CT

Connecticut has always been something of an under-achieving competitor in the world of major US pool tours. It has and continues to host, twice a year at Yale Billiards in Wallingford, CT, one of the country’s longest, continuously-operating professional tours, the New York-based Joss NE Open 9-Ball Tour. And since Jayson Shaw opened his room, US 1 Billiards in West Haven, the state has played host to a number of major events, featuring some of the more prominent names in the game. Lodged between New York and the rest of New England, Connecticut seems to have settled in to become more of a tournament destination state than a ‘tour state’ itself, with a steadily available home-grown tour that would normally attract out-of-state competitors and bring some of its more prominent residents out to play, like Jeremy Sossei, a regular from the Joss NE 9-Ball Tour, who hails from Wallingford.
