Lin Callanan potted the red in the 200 to win by 10 in her pairs game against the Alma ‘A’.

Five breaks in the pairs?? Stu Pearcy was that disgusted at missing the break as fourth player in the pairs, to add insult to injury he picked up the balls and gave the opposition an extra break.

Congratulations to Daniel Jackson for banging 8500 past Dave Howarth in his division 2 singles decider.

Paul Callanan got the lowest winning score of the season with 400 to 280 against Magnet’s Steve Philpott.
