Cups and Titles For Wick and District Pool League

4th May 2013

Ryan Cook's Blackstairs "2" side won their first ever Wick & District Pool League title on Monday night after defeating Camps "2" 6-2 to win the 2013 Rockwater Shield final.
An impressive team performance from the Blackstairs team ended Camps2's hopes of a fourth straight league & cup double.

Ryan Carter got Camps "2" off to a great start as he defeated James Riach to go 1-0 ahead. Some fantastic potting from Gordie Steven in the next frame helped his Blackstairs side level the match at 1-1. Ryan Cook, Arthur Bruce and Alan Forbes all played well as Blackstairs won the next three frames to go 4-1 ahead. David Hendry put in an excellent clearance to get the Camps side back into the match and reduce their deficit to two frames. Ryan Carter and Alec Thomson missed important black balls in the next two frames, which the Blackstairs team took full advantage of to win their first ever Rockwater Shield Championship.

The Queens were presented with the second division trophy on Monday night, and Camps "2" were presented with their 7th division one championship. Blackstairs2 player James Riach won this seasons singles league, and Camps2 player Ryan Carter won the total clearance challenge cup.
