TUESDAY NIGHT SNOOKER – SERIES 3, ROUND 5
ANOTHER CRAZY NIGHT AT SNOOKERSA!
Just when you thought Tuesday nights couldn't get any crazier, Round 5 delivered another night of drama, surprises, great snooker and a packed house!
With players dropping like flies, our ever-reliable fill-ins once again came to the rescue!
Mike Whellans is undergoing spinal surgery, and we wish Mike all the very best for a successful operation and speedy recovery. We look forward to seeing him back at the table soon.
Chris Wignall and Jason were away with work commitments, Sijan was unwell, and Darren Lennon appears to have vanished off the face of the earth!
Thankfully, our wonderful snooker community stepped up again.
A familiar face, Chris Willmer, was back in Adelaide for the Bloody Long Walk and popped into SnookerSA to say hello. Before he knew it, he had a cue in his hand and was playing league snooker! Fantastic to see Chris back in the venue.
Steve Harris also answered the call, getting some valuable table time ahead of his Wednesday Championship League final.
THE WILDCARDS FINALLY FALL!
After an unbeaten start to Series 3, the defending champions have been brought back to earth!
Loose Cannons delivered a convincing 9–4 victory, with league legend Tom Zervos leading the charge.
Tom produced an impressive 3–0 victory over Steve Harris, while Michael Watson contributed to a terrific team performance.
The Wildcards are still top of the ladder, but suddenly they're looking human!
HYPNO POTTERS TURN UP THE HEAT!
George Hagidimitriou and Zafar Chowdhury produced a commanding 11–3 victory over Fuzzy Balls.
George was in outstanding touch, winning both matches 3–0 and compiling TWO breaks of 24!
With three wins from four matches, the Hypno Potters have climbed into second place and are looking increasingly dangerous.
DRAGONS ARE BREATHING FIRE!
What a fantastic result for our newest team!
James Metaxas and Danielle Banzon recorded a terrific 9–6 victory over The Kings Men.
Both players are relatively new to snooker, having crossed over from 8-ball, and their dedication to improving is starting to pay dividends.
James produced an excellent 3–0 victory over Martin Rowe, and Danielle followed with a 3–0 win of her own.
Unfortunately, the night ended with James experiencing chest pains. Our very own Dr Zervos came to his assistance and advised him to head home.
We certainly hope James is feeling better and wish him all the best.
POT BLACKS FINALLY BREAK THROUGH!
After four frustrating rounds, Tom Stergiopoulos and Peter Platanitis finally have their first victory!
A convincing 10–4 win over Top Enders, with Tom producing two excellent 3–0 results.
The Pot Blacks have been holding up the ladder, but perhaps this is the turning point!
THE LADDER IS HEATING UP!
Three teams now share the lead on six competition points!
Wildcards, Hypno Potters and Loose Cannons are setting the pace, but with only two points separating first and fifth, this competition is wide open.
AND FINALLY, A BIG THANK YOU!
Once again, a huge thank you to everyone who stepped in to help keep the competition running.
Our Tuesday league has certainly tested our organisational skills over the past few weeks, but the willingness of players to help each other is what makes SnookerSA such a fantastic place.
A packed venue, plenty of laughs, some terrific snooker and a few unexpected dramas.
Just another Tuesday night at SnookerSA!
Hopefully next week we'll have eight complete teams, everyone healthy and nobody missing!
But judging by recent weeks... I wouldn't bet on it!
SNOOKERSA – WHERE TUESDAY NIGHTS ARE NEVER BORING!
