We attended the Clubs New Zealand 8-Ball open hosted by the Manurewa Cosmopolitan Club from Monday 7th October to 12th of October. We took a team of 8, 8 singles players who also paired up to make 4 pairs teams. Cory Diamond, Betty Diamond, John Stevens, Paul Stevens, Haylee Wills, Jim Devine, Ryan Wilson, and David Roche attended the tournament and have ended up with claiming two National Titles out of the 8 titles available.

 

There was a Total of 288 singles players and 108 Pairs attending from 48 Clubs. We played on a total of 22 tables spread all over the Manurewa club.

 

The calibre of players we faced was intense with many legends of the sports greats and top players. But as a little team we rose to the occasion and we had success with bring back two National trophies back to the club. Paul Stevens and John Stevens winning the Pairs Championship Trophy Flight, and David Roche Winning the Championship Flight event.
