Finals day line up complete


Congratulations to team mates Ed McDowell and Robert Hawkins who have made it through to the Final of the Carrick & District Pool League Individual Final. It will be played on Sunday 29th May on Finals Day after our 3 Man Team event and Doubles event. The 2 Spartans battled through to the Semi Finals, McDowell facing another Spartan, Kenny English and Hawkins up against Rockers Captain John McClean. McDowell and English were locked at 3-3 when a terrible slice of bad luck for English handed McDowell the frame. He duly took the next to progress into the Final by 5-3. To get to the 2nd Semi Final, McClean had come from 3-1 down against last years Champion Dee Irwin to win 4-3. He repeated the feat again in the Quarters against team mate Andy Arbuthnot to make it 2 League Individual Semis in the one Season, also having reached the same stage in the Larne Pool League. Hawkins had reached the last 4 with 3-0, 4-2 and 4-2 wins. McClean was very unlucky in frame 7. When leading 4-2 he landed tight on his last colour with the black out in the open. After a bit of tactical play Hawkins took the frame. He levelled at 4-4 and took a scrappy decider to reach his first ever Carrick League Individual Final.
