One of the most entertaining evenings of pool in many a year in the Carrick and District pool league sponsored by SKC Gaming NI Ltd. Following their first ever victory, the Bay City Bowlers eagerly welcomed the Trojans, a team positioned a lot higher on the league table.

Initially trailing as the Trojans took a 2-0 lead, the Bowlers rallied to level the score at 2-2. Glen Colwell, the standout performer in the first half, secured a crucial 4-3 lead at halftime.The second half saw Ian McMillan clinch a victory, albeit amidst an unusual incident where his opponent's attempt at an easy black shot resulted in a missed opportunity due to unexpectedly hooking his finger in his jumper pocket. Despite additional wins by the Trojans, the outcome remained uncertain.Ian's consistent performance led to a 7-6 score, setting the stage for the Bowlers' captain to secure their second consecutive win. With the game on the line, a skilful shot saw the decisive black ball elegantly pocketed, igniting a roar of celebration from the onlookers.Well done to Players of the night, Glen Colwell and Ian McMillan with 3 wins each. With this victory, the Bowlers appear to have turned a corner and aim to maintain their momentum into the upcoming Harbour Cup, sponsored by Amber Castle Entertainment.

Galacticos have moved 3 points clear at the top of the league with a commanding victory in a rescheduled match with Trojans on Monday night, Trojans first of two matches in two nights. Galactcos raced to 2-0 with wins from Paul Harris and Gary Wallace. Stevie Hamilton grabbed the 3rd frame for Trojans, but it was the Greenisland men who took a 6-1 lead at the half way mark, with wins from Roger Smyth twice, Derek Whiteside and Ali Wilson.

Colts v Tigers

On paper it would seem the Times Tigers ran away with the first half 6 - 1 but in truth the score quite genuinely could have been the reverse in favour of The Greenisland Colts. The same can genuinely be said of the second half. The majority of games this time going in favour of The Colts.

Literally nothing between both teams on this particular evening and practically every single frame could have gone either way. This night had everything: potted blacks going in off, little bits of luck and little bits of misfortune for both teams, some fantastic shots played by every player on both teams resulting in it all coming down to the very last frame of the evening.

The Colts trying for the draw and the Times Tigers trying to win. The difference in the end would be some absolutely wonderful shots I feel it must be said by Times Tiger John Fulton clinching the evenings final frame seeing his team across the finish line with a result of Times Tigers 8 Greenisland Colts 6.
