Pool Club held June pool tournament

The monthly pool tournament, held June 21, was an eight ball doubles event for 12 teams. Each team played seven rounds and the top three teams received prize money.

Three teams were tied at the end of the seven rounds with six wins apiece. There was a drawing to determine which of the three teams would receive a bye and would play the winner of the two remaining teams. Russell Black and John Barth drew the bye.

Tom Zimmerman and Shery Wells won the lag for break against Dave Silva and Zelma Berkenkamp. Berkenkamp missed a tricky cut shot in the side on the eight ball, but Zimmerman scratched on his team’s last ball, giving Silva ball in hand for an easy shot on the eight for the win.

In the final game for first place the game went down to the eight for both teams. Silva made the seven ball in the corner, but left his partner Berkenkamp a very thin cut on the eight in the side pocket. She left Black a long straight-in shot on the eight, which he made to take first place for him and his partner Barth.
