Well we all trekked off to Casino on Sunday 18th March (no not jupiters) 30 odd k's past Lismore to give the locals exposure to our 2nd ranking tournament. The local representation was dismal with only Ben Benn and Johnny Latta making the effort to play off. Still the Oxenford Hotel was a super venue with 3 tables, good meals, a poker game and a pleasant grassed area outside for the desperate smokers.
Coolangatta Hotel hosted our 1st ranking event on sunday 18th feb for the year and a good strong field of 35 players tried out.
The ladies and open were combined and it worked well. Thanks to those who travelled to be part of it

POPPY SAYS: NSW 8ball singles championship.
The NSW 2006 8ball singles title was played on Sunday 18th June at the Coolangatta Hotel. A pretty handy field of 24 runners contested the best of 15 games event, 23 males and I female in Joe Buckley turned up to play which was great to see (Mel Malone is still overseas after the world titles so was unavailable). Joe was outed in the first round by a rampant Oscar Wild but a $100 consolation event for first game losers was played and that saw her go through to the final only to be touched out by Dean Heremia.

POPPY SAYS: The ladies had their day on Sunday 30th July 2006 at the Coolangatta Hotel, playing a round robin best of 3 event to decide the NSW ladies national team and the NSW ladies single champion. Everone was “smoking” and I mean smoking, smoke breaks were the order of the day one of the drawbacks of the no smoking policy in hotels especially for pool players. Never mind the day went well and all the 12 ladies put in their very best efforts.
POPPY SAYS:
The 5th and final qualifying playoff for the NSW open team was played at the Coolangatta Hotel on Sunday the 9th July. A really good field of 38 players turned out with many playing although they had already qualified and Rusty who is already in the team via his singles title victory there as well, and for the team spirit down the track that is a really positive thing. The committee will be pushing hard to get crown lager on board as a sponsor and save the boys a small fortune.
