Pool League

The Leisure World Fall Pool League ended its season on Nov. 21, with a sweepstakes event, where every team played every other team one game of eight ball.

Before groups started playin, members elected officers for the new year. Steve Edrich was elected president; Dave Silva was elected vice president; Eunis “Wildfire” Christensen was elected secretary-treasurer; and Connie Adkins and Barry Brideau will be board members.

Since there were 10 teams, each team played nine games and all three players played every game and alternated shots.

There was a tie for first place between the Rockin’ Rollers and the Bank Bandits at six wins and three losses. The Rockin Rollers, George Gordon, Bill Clawson and Denise Scott, only had two wins and three losses after its first five games, but came on strong to win the last four games.

The Bank Bandits, Connie Adkins, Dave Mackinder and Dave Silva, won its first four games, but lost the next two. They needed to win their last game to tie for first place.

Connie Adkins of the Bank Bandits made the eight ball on a long cut shot, shooting over a ball to win her team’s final game. The competition was very close. Four teams were tied for third place with five wins each.

The club will take a break for the holidays and will resume league play on Monday, Jan. 23.

Those interested in playing in that league as a regular, or as a substitute, should contact Eunis Christensen at cashfit8@gmail. com or 562-879-1954, or Dave Silva at davesilva165@gmail. com or 562-209-3183.
