Results: 2009 Winter Preliminary Finals and Grand Final Draw

Hi all

Last night saw the end of the season for 5 more teams, while 5 others qualified for the Grand Finals in 3 weeks time.

Congratulations must go to the Stickmen, Scorpions, Crackpots, Gringos and Defenestraters on their 3rd place finish this season. Once again, I am sure these teams will be eager to improve in this next year.

But most of all congratulations to our 10 Grand Finalists. With a three week gap to the Grand Final because of the Nationals, it will be interesting to see who can keep their form going during the break.

Below are the results for the Preliminary Finals, along with the schedule for the Grand Finals. Please note that at this stage I can only confirm the venues for 1st and 4th Divisions, I will confirm the others closer to the date.

In the meantime, don’t forget the Nationals start this Sunday with the Opening Ceremony at Rydges Lakeside. It costs nothing to watch, so come along and see the best Eight Ball in the country.

Results: 2009 Winter Finals Round Two and Venues for Preliminary Finals

Hi all

Last Wednesday saw all 5 Minor Premiers qualify first for the Grand Final, the Pirates winning 15-14 over the Crackpots after 2 draws in the regular season! With Div 3 being tight all season, the finals are proving no different with the Demons winning the other match 13-11.

This week saw the Matildas (who went down 12-15 in the other playoff for the week), Filthy Wanderers, Cougars, Motley Cues and Quick Silvers all bow out after good seasons. Well done to these teams for their 4th place finish and good luck next year!

The results for Round 2 are below, with the draw and venues for the Preliminary Finals after them. Remember as the PF is a neutral match, teams must toss a coin (or jenkins, or whatever) to decide the home team on the score sheet. Good luck to all teams next week.

Update – my apologies to The Maram Concords, who have qualified first for the Div 5 GF after finishing equal 3rd in regular season.

Special General Meeting: seeking support

As was discussed at the AGM, Doug Percy will be standing down as President of ACTEBA at the completion of the nationals.

It was agreed that as the role of President is a significant position within the association all financial members should be granted the opportunity to be involved in the selection. Please note I am not proposing any individuals for this role at this time. Nominations may be made to the Secretary of the association.

Therefore in accordance with the ACTEBA consitution I am seeking support for a Special General Meeting to be held prior to the Captains meeting on 9/11/09 (Note the Captains Meeting has been delayed until the second Mon in November).

Please contact me if you are in support of this motion. I will require confirmation by email no later than Fri 9 October 2009. Please use the new Contact Form to send me an email.
