July 2021 Snooker Update

Friday 2 Jul, 2021

Hello fellow members,

Things have been ticking over well at Holt Place in Hornby.

Attendances have been steady with Club nights going well and with more players than tables, so with the guys assistance you never wait long for a game.

Congratulations to the Black Caps, it was good tv viewing.

Interclub snooker has started with four teams entered. Let’s hope things go well. We have a new member playing in one of the Premier sides Rob Redgrove who is ranked six in New Zealand. Dave Whitiera is also back! Both are a great asset to the Section.

The Canterbury Pairs were played at Woolston and two Hornby teams were beaten in the semi-finals of the main draw. Bill Earle and Bruce Tibble lost 2.0 and Geoff Baldwin and Brent Jones lost 2.1 in an extremely close match.

The Club Championship final between Brent Jones and Bill (The Duke) Earle will have been played. Can The Duke retain his title? Watch this space.

That’s all for now. Keep safe and warm.

Pot Black
