Robert Rolls Back The Years

On Wednesday 29th May Carrick & District Pool League, sponsored by SKC Gaming NI, held the inaugural Grandmasters Pool competition in Greenisland Working Mens Club.

Robert Hawkins rolled back the years to find some vintage attacking pool form. He Raced to a 5-1 victory over Stevie Hamilton in the semi final.

In the other semi it was Joe Patton who was equally as devastating as he took victory by the same score over Gordon McCormick.

The final was expected to be an extremely close affair with two of our league's most experienced players pitting their wits against each other. 

On reflection it was a fairly one sided victory. Robert Hawkins aggressively outthought and out potted Patton in the race to 6. Patton simply could not contain the Islandmagee star no matter how defensively he tried. This match was streamed live and will be available on our league's Youtube channel next week.

Well done to all of the players and thanks to Greenisland Club for kindly hosting this exciting event.
