In the Carrick & District Pool League sponsored by SKC
Gaming NI, the Times Bar Derby had saw reigning league Champions, Scorpions facing
stablemates Tigers. Darren Whiteside made a rare start and finished with a
great long red and black in off his opponent’s yellow. Lee McIlreevy soon made
it two and Chris Carson made it 3-0 to the reigning champions. Scott Pettigrew
pulled one back for Tigers with a pin point finish before Scorpions reeled of
another 3 on the bounce with wins for Paul Kerr, Colin Rafferty and another for
Chris Carson.
Tigers started the second half with John Fulton taking
control and finishing well to begin the come-back. Lee McIlreevy put the
Scorpions on the hill with a blistering finish. Paul Kerr soon secured the
points. Scott Pettigrew took another frame for Tigers before Paul Kerr reached
his hat trick. Darren Haddock chipped another in for the Scorpions with a great
long black. Tigers 'MVP', Scott Pettigrew, took the final frame and secured a
hat trick of his own.
Final score Scorpions 10 Tigers 4.
Rockets To Be’s John Rainey took the sixth frame 5-1. H
Warwick gave his team a 6-1 lead at the break.
First up in the Second half making her first outing for the
Colts was Zoe Galloway. She was unlucky and Darren McFarlane took it.
Joe Patton put the Colts on the Hill before H Warwick made
his hat trick and secured the points for the Colts.
Aaron Watters extinguished any chance off the Rockets To Be
earning a bonus point. A Galloway took the twelfth frame securing his hat
trick.
The icing on the cake had to be (player of the match) Zoe
Galloway’s black. It was like something you would see on the ultimate pool tv
channel. She must have been watching Colin ‘The Fizz Bomb’ Beckinsale, giving
her a 50% win ratio for the season. Mark Porter got a consolation frame making
the Final Score 11-3
What a performance from the Colts back to winning ways with
the biggest win of the night.

Our stand out match was
Bowlers: Iain, Benny, Iain, Glen 4 v Colts B Harry, Colin, Gary 5 Some Men For 2 Men ..
Against the odds Colts Captain Harry Warwick and Vice
Captain Colin Beckinsale were Victors with just the 2 of them to compete in
Tuesday evenings 3 a side competition against The Bay City Bowlers 3 man team
.. A great result for the Greenisland Colts despite their 3rd team member being
absent . Doing it the hard way Warwick lost the first frame meaning they
couldn't afford to concede another frame for the remainder of the match however
although somewhat of a tall order they both battled on to successfully proceed
to the next round of the Competition.
The 3 a side quarter finals take place on Tuesday 30th January.
