No timed games, rounds 1 & 2 are 250 up, semi-finals 300, grand final 500.

All games are played from scratch (no handicaps).

Best of luck to all players, Kevin

Week #5 of our interclub billiards competition resulted in a strong win by RSL Gold over Red Cliffs Gold however the upset this week was the win by Red Cliffs Black over top side RSL Green. This is the first win this season for the Red Cliffs Black team and a fantastic result under the leadership of acting captain Lachy Niemann.

Most games this week were very close with margins for five of the eight matches all less than 20 points.
Tom Songput was the only player this week, including handicaps, to break the 300 point milestone - well done Tom.
Excluding handicaps, four players scored over 200 points - Tom (205), Lindsay Rolton (206), Greg Smythe (246) & Kevin Rogers (275).
Joe Sa’u hit a a great break of 31 and Greg Smythe knocked in a 56, the highest to date this season.

Phil Steel-Wilson had an medical incident last Sunday but it’s fantastic news that he’s received the appropriate treatment and is well on the road to recovery. Hopefully Phil will be well enough really soon to whack the balls around once again on the green baize.
