December 2021 Pool Update

Friday 3 Dec, 2021

Hi guys and gals,

Where has the year gone, we are already nearly through November and Christmas is fast approaching.

This month, some of our ladies managed to get to play in a tournament as Richmond was able to hold their annual Ladies Masters. This was played at the Cashmere Club this year and Hornby were well represented as we had 12 ladies playing, which was half of the field of 24, and out of the 12 playing, 7 qualified in the main, which is a great effort.

It was great to see we have so many ladies playing pool from our Club. I think I can speak for most and say it was a fantastic day of playing pool, having a laugh and catching up with so many others. Just to be back on the pool tables, was a bonus.

Hornby also had both finalists in the main and the trophy event. Teammates from the Hornby Titans, Liz Hullen and Clare Shanaher went head-to-head in the main, with Liz coming out on top. Both ladies played outstanding in the final and it could have gone either way.

In the trophy event it was Jan Devereux playing against Margo Kingi, with Jan taking it out.

The pool tables as of 22 November are now open, but only to Hornby Club members and you must abide by the Club’s rules if you are wanting to have a game. Food and beverages cannot be consumed around the table area. Nevertheless, this is great news to just be able to get back down to the Club and have a hit and catch up with other players.

Regards,
