PHOTOS: 8-Ball friendly competition a success

A first-time entry from Melbourne’s western suburbs has taken out the fifth annual Wimmera Friendly 8-Ball Invitational.

Poolhub defeated 2021 champions Shark Squad in the final at Horsham Lanes and Games at the weekend.

Event organiser Darren ‘Deadly’ Duncan said the quality of play across all divisions was exemplary.

“Although we had a few teams pull out because of COVID-19 we still had 35 entered,” he said.

“Apart from the great competition we raised $2620 that will go to Wimmera Cancer Centre.

“All teams have committed to coming back next year and top players including Gus Degorio and Jamie Stevens have said they’ll be back.”

Team Melzer, made up of players from Gisborne and Geelong, won division two over Ballarat, Wimmera defeated Castlemaine in division three and team Lightning won division four.

Horsham teams finished third and fourth in division four.
