Results: Summer 09 Round 8
Hi all
Another late report from me, sorry I had the bye on Wednesday and wasn’t still up when all the results had come in.
A very tight round was played out this week, with 9 of the 17 matches resulting in 13-11 scorelines. Add a draw and three 14-10 matches and it was the tightest round of the season. The Gremlins and Deep Pockets didn’t seem to pay attention, though, both sealing 16-8 victories.
With the Pirates suffering their first defeat, we are now left with four undefeated teams, the Stickmen, Scorpions, Jets and Gremlins. The Scorpions have proven tough to take down in a tight match, with their seven matches providing three draws and four 13-11 wins. The other three, meanwhile are all shooting above 60%, as are the Hammerheads and Tomtones.
Competition for the finals is now starting to heat up, particularly in divisions one and two. Div One has 4 teams a point apart in the race for 4th spot, while only 7 points separates 1st from 7th in Div Two.
Well done to all winners this week, and good luck to all teams next round. The ladder now includes the bonus point for scoresheets and results for the February meeting. I will send out an updated ladder with the March bonus points over the weekend.

Results: Summer 09 Round 7
Hi all
My apologies for my tardiness the last two weeks. Back to normal this week hopefully.
We’ve hit the half way mark of the season and we still have 5 undefeated teams – one in each division. Well done to the Stickmen, Scorpions, Pirates, Jets and Gremlins. In addition, the Jets, Stickmen and Gremlins are shooting the highest percentages so far, with the Jets on 63.89, the Stickmen on 63.10 and the Gremlins on 62.50. Other teams shooting above 60% are the Hammerheads on 61.90, the Embalmers on 61.31 and the Tomtones on 60.42. Most of us would be happy with just 1 or 2 of our players shooting that, let alone the whole team!
Mathematically every team is still in it, but some need to really pick up their game to make the finals, while the half way leaders need to consolidate their good first half.
Don’t forget that Ladies Trials Nominations are due next Monday as well as registration fees and Presentation Night fees. Continue reading
Results: Summer 09 Round 6
With many apologies for tardiness, Chris has sent me the results from Round 6.
Please note that when viewing the ladder online, the attendance bonus point has been added.
Geelong Open
Phil Bush sent in the following wrapup from the Geelong Open, along with a reminder about the upcoming Woodonga 8-Ball Championships:
This year the Geelong Open was held at the White Eagle House Club from 14 to 15 February. Five people entered from the ACT: Mick Norton, Cindy Blackmore, Steve Thomas, Dave Kirkpatrick and Phil Bush. It was a very enjoyable event and a great experience. Much money was raised for the Australian Teams travelling to England and the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Well done Velo on organising the event.
A big congratulations to Cindy on winning the Ladies Open – great effort, and well done to Mick Norton who did the best from our male contingent, finishing in the Top 16. Unfortunately Mick was knocked out by the eventual winner of the tournament, James Delahunty.
Just a quick reminder that the Albury Woodonga 8 Ball Championships are being conducted from 6 to 8 March. For more information on this event please call Andrea Bird on 0425 876 773 from Pool Victoria (or email admin[at]poolvictoria.org.au) or visit the Pool Victoria website.
Cheers,
Bushie
