Poolathon coming in May

LW POOL CLUB

In May the LW Pool Club will play its annual Poolathon. This will be the only time all year one pocket is played in competition. One pocket is one of the games played in professional tournaments but is rarely played in Leisure World. As the name implies, a player must make all their balls in one pocket. One pocket is different in that it requires more defensive skills and frequent bank shots.

The Monday pool league has finished 10 weeks of a 15week schedule. The second place Bees beat the first-place Tumbleweeds 9-4 to trim their lead to six games. Gary Monahan led the Bees with six wins and won both of his singles. Teammate Jennifer Spindler won five games.

The Burners beat The Rustlers 9-4. Elizabeth Butterfield won six games for The Burners and teammate Ray Friedrichsen won five. BDG edged The Renegades 7-6. BDG broke a 6-6 tie by winning the final eight ball game. Earick Ward won five games for BDG.

In the Wednesday league, The Pool Addicts expanded their league lead over The Favorites to eight games, winning their match 10-3. Steve Edrich and Milly Larsen each won six of their seven games, including both of their singles matches. Chalk Dirty 2 Me edged Rack & Rollers 7-6. Layla Barr won five games for Chalk Dirty 2 Me and broke a tie game by winning the final eight ball match.
