This week in the
Carrick & District Pool League sponsored by Times Bar
Unbeaten League leader’s ‘Trojans’ were taken by surprise by Galacticos as the Greenisland based side beat them 10-4 knocking them off
the top spot.
Colts travelled
down the Antrim coast to take on the Vikings.
The visitors raced to a 0-6 lead with 2 a piece for Joe Patton, Paul Watters and
Tucker Kidd with a break and dish in the third frame. Tyler McKee got one back
for the Vikings. Joe Patton soon secured his hat trick to make it 1- 7. The
Vikings give themselves a stern talking to and started playing some great pool
to pull it back to 6 - 7 to get a bonus point. The last frame was a
nail-biter which Tucker Kidd finally won. 6- 8 on the night. Great match.
It was another tight affair in Monkstown Social club. Reigning
league champions, Scorpions came
from 2 down to go into the interval 4-3 up.
Paul Kerr, Gary Wallace and Colin Rafferty put the visitors on the hill.
‘Hit
Men and Her’s’ Robert Henderson, Andy Meeke and Paul Henderson dug deep to
secure the draw and two points each.
Alpha are still
without a win after Cockweasels
trounced them 3-11
It looked to be plain sailing for Doagh Dragons winning the first 4 frames at a canter, but Tigers got back into the match with the
next 2 frames. After that it looked like a foregone conclusion that the Dragons
would storm to a win taking themselves to the hill with the next 3 frames.
Times Tigers had other ideas though as Davy Flanagan kick started the come back
with a cool dish from a dry break followed by wins for Alan Corrigan, Stephen
Briers and John Fulton leaving the match at 7-6, securing the bonus point and
giving the Tigers a chance at an unlikely 2 points when 7-2 down. Luckily for
the Dragons, captain Kyle Kirkwood won the decider for the 2nd time in 3
matches for the 3 points to secure top spot in the league! Best for Dragons,
Aaron Leslie, Ali Wilson & Kyle Kirkwood all 2/3, Best for Tigers, Alan
Corrigan & Davy Flanagan both 2/3. Final Score 6-8.
