Tuesday night was judgement night. Theoretically, three teams could still win the league on the final night of the season.
Q Club’s Titans sat in third place, only 3 points off the leaders. Times Bar’s Scorpions sat in second place 2 points off the league leaders.
Galacticos sat at the top of the league, as they had for most of the season.
Q Club Titans could only control their match and romped home to a 12-2 victory over Bay City Bowlers. (full report to follow).
Scorpions had a convincing 11-3 victory away to Whitehead Trojans.
Scorpions’ captain, Lee McIlreevy started with intend and Davy Blair soon followed before Kenny English chipped in for the Trojans. Paul Kerr, Darren Haddock, Davy Blair and Darren Whiteside wrapped up the first half 1-6 to Scorpions.
The second half went in a similar fashion with Lee McIlreevy, and Paul Kerr winning frames 8 and 9. Kenny English took the 10th for Trojans. This was a fatal blow to Davy Blair’s hopes of winning player of the year. Darren Haddock potted a skilful black off two cushions to cut it into the middle. Paul Kerr added with a reverse dish. Yet again Trojans Kenny English stopped the rott with a great finish of his own. Lee McIlreevy finished off the match in style with a scintillating reverse dish. Final Score Trojans 3 Scorpions 11.
Theoretically and mathematically speaking is one thing, but reality is another. The Galacticos were playing the Pink ladies, who sat bottom of the league. It was a ‘Davina’ versus ‘Goliath’ match that was never going to have a Disney style ending for the ‘Pink Ladies’.
Galacticos romped home to glory with a merciless 12-2 victory over the Pink Ladies and deservedly secured the Carrick & District League Title sponsored by SKC Gaming NI Ltd.
Greenisland Colts took the points against Railway Blues 9-5.
Times Tigers had a 14-0 walkover v Grange Ballyclare.
Q Club Larne took the points 6-8 against Whiteabbey Legion.
