    Matchroom Sport has announced the two teams to contest the seventh annual Weber Cup which takes place from October 19-21, 2007 at the Barnsley Metrodome in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England.

    "With the overall score standing at 4-3 to the Americans, there will be everything to play for following last year's nail-biting epic which saw the destiny of the trophy decided in the final few frames of the deciding match," said Luke Riches of Matchroom.
