News: Adam Marlow cleans up the Kiwis with a pub cue.

News in from Dan Marlow:

I just wanted to let you know that my brother, Adam, who made a lot of friends in ACTEBA whilst playing in Canberra and who has been in New Zealand this year won the New Zealand 8-Ball Champs in Tokoroa yesterday.

When I spoke to him yesterday he was pleased to have done it at his first attempt but said that he would like to have had a go at the Australian Champs while he was here. He also didn't take his cue to NZ and managed the feat with a rack cue from the venue. Nice!

Anyway, I thought that you (and ACTEBA) would be keen to know that Canberra pool is being well represented in New Zealand.

Regards,
Danny.


... great effort!

Well played to those players who got this far and good luck to Round 4 contestants.

The Division 2 Northern Potters wrested back the lead from the Southern Guns with a commanding 20-12 victory last night. The Potters produced back to back rounds of 6-2 in rounds 2 and 3, and despite a late rally from the Guns were able to give the Potters a 66-62 lead going into the final round.

Next week sees the cream of Division One battle it out for the Title, with the Guns keen to make up the difference with a big first round. Come down to the Labor Club to watch what should be a great match.

Results: 2009 State of Origin Division 3

Last night the division 3 Northern Potters clawed back some of the Southern Guns lead with a hard fought 18-14 win at Chisholm Tavern.

The Potters gained an early 2 frame lead and held it through to half time. Then a big 6-2 third round saw them jump 6 frames clear and within reach of the Guns overall 8 frame lead.

The Guns fought back in the last round but it was always going to be the Potters victorious. With just 4 frames in it heading into the top 2 divisions, the Guns leading 50-46, it promises to be a great finish!

2009 Open Singles: Round 3 info

Posted by

in State Trials at 17:12 | Comments (0)

After having a couple of goes at the groups for round 3 last night and today, it is increasingly obvious that I will not be able to accommodate preferred days of play this round.

If any players have a desperate need to stick to their preferred day, call me before lunchtime Thursday (June 4) on 0403 545 619 and I will see what I can do. Be warned that I cannot make any promises.

I will be sending the groups to the webmaster at 1pm Thursday for publishing and any changes after that time will need to be organised by the players and approved by myself.

Please note that venues and start times will be confirmed by next Monday (June 8).
