Congratulations to Brendan, Darren, Dave and Naz. Throughout the tournament, the Red Star boys have certainly shown a lot of consistency and at times; just a little bit of magic. 'Nolans A' were always going to struggle after only being able to field 2 players for Tuesday night's final, meaning they were 3-0 down before the 1st frame but Mark and Wake played some outstandingly tough pool and made it clear that they had come to play, but the Red Star ground it out to win the 2 frames neccessary to seal the match.
RESULTS - Grand Final & 3rd/4th place Playoff matches played 21st August
GRAND FINAL 'Red Star Bell A' 5 - 1'Nolan's A'
3rd/4th place result outstanding-'Fern Lodge A' were 'unaware' of the fixture!
3rd/4th Place Playoff 'Pineapple' - 'Fern Lodge A'
LEAGUE TABLES:
* REVISED GROUP TABLES FOLLOWING 'JFK's REJECTS' DISQUALIFICATION *
GROUP ONE - 'NOLANS A' romped home clear winners of the group with a clean sweep of 4 out of 4 wins! 'THE PINEAPPLE' rise to a lofty 2nd place after losing their first 2 matches then coming good on the home straight with better frame difference. 'FERN LODGE B' finished 3rd by a nose over a disappointingly 4th placed 'RED STAR BELL B' while the 'BLACK HORSE' trotted in 5th.

GROUP TWO - 'RED STAR BELL A' win the group, only losing 6 frames, 'FERN LODGE A' came 2nd winning 18 & losing 9 while 'NOLANs B' were pipped into 3rd place having only won 15 & losing 12. 'JFKs REJECTS' only succeeded in fielding a team for 2 matches and so were subsequently disqualified - ALL POINTS FOR & AGAINST HAVE BEEN DEDUCTED - and last but certainly not least - the 'BLACK HORSE LADIES' won just 2 frames, unfortunately, these were both earned against JFK's Rejects and have sadly gone!

PLAYOFFS - An appeal was launched stating that as Group Two participant 'JFK's Rejects' had failed to field a team for 2 of their 4 matches then they should be disqualified and all points for and against for all their fixtures should be made void. This appeal was subsequently upheld. The main outcome of the removal of all points for the relevant matches effectively reversed the 2nd & 3rd placed teams in the final Group Two table. This fundamentally altered which team would play in the Semi-Final followed by a possible appearance in the Final.
In full agreement with both affected teams it was agreed that 2nd & 3rd placed teams in Group Two would play an eliminator match, to determine which team would play (as Group Two Runners-Up) in the Semi Final against Group One Winners.
