Posted by Ryan Carter on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Week one of Wick & District Pool League kicked off in style on Monday night with an almighty battle between Camps1 and Harper's. George Baker's Harper's side got off to a great start, taking a 2-0 lead. John Cowie and Aidan Ross played well as they helped Camps1 pull it back to 2-2. Baker and Andy Cormack were in fine form as Harper's took control of the match and went 5-3 ahead. Camps1 ladies Suzanne Carter & Lesley Anne Begg produced some exceptional pool in the remaining frames to complete an outstanding comeback to win the match 6-5.
Three other matches also went the distance as Queens, Bayview1 and Mountain Dew all recorded 6-5 wins. Keith Bremner and James Dow were the Queens star players winning all of their games.
A couple of marvelous clearances from Martin Hill was the highlight of a comfortable 8-3 victory for defending champions Camps2 over Seaforth Club. Ryan Carter & Bruce Honeyman were also on form as they won all of their games, and George Smith got a total clearance near the end of the match as a small consolation for the Seaforth Club.
Crown1 were impressive in their first league match of the season, beating Sinclair Bay 7-4 in a well contested match. Stevie Cunningham and Stevie Wyllie both put in a good shift for the Crown side.
Blackstairs1 also got their league campaign off to a great start with an 8-3 win over the Commercial.
