Major Success down at Shooters Bar

After alot of organising Shooters Bar held a charity pool event with 3 times World Champion Gareth Potts, fellow pool professional Marc Farnsworth and our very own Ronan McCarthy.

Marc Farnsworth, Ronan McCarthy, Trevor Harte & Gareth Potts.




The 5 a sdie competition was won by the Misfits from the ND & APA, beating Half a shark in the semis and Rockets in the final.

Front row Stevie, Chippy & Deeks

Back Row Warren, Ian & Mark

Terry McDowell put together a great day of pool and everybody enjoyed the event, challage Ronan was always going to be popular and then challange Marc Farnsworth who played some brilliant pool and was easy to see why he is a highly ranked professional.

Then the main event was challange Gareth who made it look so easy, the pool was fantastic to watch  and Gareth and Marc made everyones night by socialising with all the crowd.

Big thank you to Terry and his family for the whole idea along with John from Shooters Bar who once again run a pool event in Bangor which will be talked about for years.

The NOrio Caffolla Charity Cup
 
 
As chairman of the ND & APA I wish to invite teams to play in our open 5 a – side charity competition to be played
in Bangor on Saturday 2nd June 2012 starting at 12:00 noon entrance fee £50 per team.
There will also be speed pool and total balls potted competition on the day.
The format will consist of 2 Groups playing a round robin, with the top one
from each group playing in the final.
Half of all the money collected will be paid out in Prize money and the
other half to the winners nominated charity.
I am suggesting that you advertise in your local press about the event
And the way money is being donated to local charities.
Entry fee must be in by the 19th May 2012 so the event can be well
publicised before hand.
I am hoping for a good turn out, as it should be a good fun day of pool
And a chance for old friends and new to enjoy the charity to reap the benefits.
Yours in Pool
Hugh Regan
