MIXED RESULTS FOR GMC COUNTY TEAMS

County pride was at stake when the GMC teams took on West Yorkshire at Prestwich last month. After a great start by the A team in the 1st session, the game finished 22-22, with Mark Astbury holding his nerve to clinch the last game and a deserved draw. Ian McMullan on his A team debut was man of the match with a 3 out of 4, which included a DOB against former World Champion Chris Melling. However, the B team couldn’t re-produce their recent good form and slipped to a 25-19 defeat, and will be looking to bounce back against Cumbria in October. The ladies also lost 25-19 and will be looking for a big win in October.

A last session fightback from Lancs saw the B side slip to a 24-20 loss having been, at one point, 18-14 up.

FAMOUS FIVE POOL COMPETITION

Congratulations go to 'Warrington Wires' who upset all the odds and took the gold in this 5 man event. The prize fund of £900 had attracted no fewer than 8 teams to this event organised by our very own Kevin Holland. The wires a team of so called 'has beens' along with the youthful Paul Pickering stole the show at Rochdale's Normans Snooker club by beating the 'Chorlton Children' 13-7 in the final. Chorlton had looked odds on to take victory in the final after destoying the pre tournament favourites 'Rochdale Aces' 13-3 in the semis but the wires had other ideas and sailed to victory with veteran Gary Price clinching the vital frame.
