Galactico's Gary Wallace Whips Them All To Lift The Title

The Carrick and District Pool League annual open singles competition occurred this weekend in the Q Club in Larne.

On a day when storm Kathleen was whipping up winds across the country it was Galacticos' Gary Whirlwind Wallace who was whipping his opponents throughout the day.

Gary took on last year’s seniors finalist, Davy Blair in the first round and romped to a 5-2 win. 

In the next round Gary took out Northern Ireland International player, Stevie Quinn 5-1.  

Next up was a 5-2 victory over one of the most decorated players in the Carrick League, Paul Harris. 

The 22/23 champion, Chris Carson was Gary’s opponent in the semi final and he was dispatched 6-4. The final was against Scorpions' Lee McIlreevy and Gary was in control for the entire match. 

The final score was 7-5 and Gary got over the line potting the black to the middle pocket from a snooker.

A massive well done to Gary Wallace on lifting the open singles with a near perfect days pool.

The league committee would like to thanks Alex and William Irvine for their hosting and sponsorship of this prestigious individual’s event.
