Results: Summer 09 Finals Round 2, Draw for Preliminary Finals
Hi all
An extraordinary week of finals saw the 3rd placed team in divisions one to four qualifying first for the grand final! The Embalmers, Pidos and Serious Fouls all defeated their minor premiers, while division four saw the minor premier Tomtones bundled out after two rounds, with the Demons taking first spot in the grand final over the 4th placed Rail Runners. Ironically, the Tomtones had only lost one match in the regular season, against the same team who beat them tonight, the Jets.
Division 5 kept the status quo with the minor premier Gremlins maintaining their regular season form to grab a Grand Final berth, with the preliminary final next week involving 2nd and 3rd.
The other preliminary finals look to be extremely tight, with 1st playing 2nd in the top 3 divisions. All six teams will be eager to claim the spot in the match they thought should have been theirs by now. Please note that all Preliminary Finals and Grand Finals are held at neutral venues so please check below for your venue.
Well done to the Labor Club Matildas, Southern Cross Tuggeranong ToSheas, The Basement Jagerbombers, Buffalo Bar and Grill Tomtones and The Maram Deep Pockets for a successful season. And thank you to the venues who supported them.
Congratulations must definitely go to the Fyshwick Tavern Embalmers, Southern Cross Tuggeranong Pidos, The Maram Serious Fouls, Kaleen Demons and Ojo’s Bar and Cafe Gremlins for qualifying for the Grand Final.
Don’t forget that this Sunday the Top Four Ladies fight it out for the State Title at the Canberra Labor Club in Belconnen. Nicole Welsh, Michelle Massey, Gemma Pike and Cindy Backmore will see if the 2009 Championship can be stolen by one of the new faces. It promises to be a great day of eight ball, with multiple champion Cindy and current Australian representitive and defending champion Nicole taking on the next generation of ACT Ladies. I encourage all players to come down and have a drink and cheer the ladies on.
We are looking for volunteers to referee for the day, for as long or as short as you are willing to offer your services. Even a few frames will be greatly appreciated (and the tournament director will buy you a drink). If you are available, please contact State Head Umpire Greg Murphy on 0407 687 749. Your assistance is greatly appreciated but don’t worry, if you just want to watch no one will hassle you to ref like on a Wednesday!
Below are the results for tonight and the draw for next weeks’ preliminary finals. please note that the venues are subject to change but in the unlikely event of this happening the captains of both teams will be notified immediately.

2009 State Trials: Ladies Top 12 Results
Hi all
The Top 12 playoff for the 2009 Ladies State Team was held over the weekend at The Basement. An excellent two days’ play saw a few new faces in the ACT side to contest this year’s National Championships. The format was 4 times round robin for a total of 44 frames each, with the top 7 qualifying for the state team, and the top 4 qualifying for the Top 4 Shootout to decide the 2009 ACT Ladies Champion.
Results: Summer 09 Finals Round 1
Hi all
An Interesting first week of finals saw three matches go to a best of five playoff, most notably in div 4, where both matches went to a playoff. The Rail Runners triumphed 3-1 while the Demons nailed the Jets 3-0. In Div One, the two Fyshwick Tavern teams fought it out to 12 all before the Embalmers got up 3-2 in the playoff.
4 of the 5 Minor Premiers won this week, with only the div 4 Tomtones losing in a playoff. But all teams have a second chance next week in the double elimination format. Simply put, the two winners this week play each other and the two losers play each other next week.
Next week sees the two winners from tonight fight for a place in the Grand Final, while the losers will play off to stay alive in the finals.
The draw for next week is below, along with the results from tonight. Good luck to all teams next week – remember to leave your last frame at the table and smash that next opponent!
Can all captains with a home game next week please inform their venues.
Quick note – the calendar on the website indicates that the Winter Season Nominations are due at the next meeting, however they are actually due at the June Meeting, but any early forms will be gladly accepted. In regards to the Open Trials, please be advised that while nominations have closed, groups and venues will not be released until the Sunday before Round One. If any player wishes to adjust their preferred day of play for round one please let me know prior to this date. Once again, the preferred day of play is only guaranteed for the first round, and unfortunately it is the luck of the draw for round 2 onwards (but as you all know I will bust my arse to accommodate preferences).
