Upsets in both the 1st and 2nd Divisions, highlighted last week’s rounds of local 8 Ball.
In the 1st Division, the Tower Jokers celebrated into the early hours of Friday morning, after defeating ladder leaders the Star and Garter Pirates, in what was their biggest home and way win in many seasons.
After jumping to an early lead, the Jokers showed plenty of poise after a late run by the Pirates, with the win consolidating their position in the top 4.
The upsets continued into the 2nd Division when the Grand Mafia made light work of their clash against the Grand Troupe, while the Gala Warriors served notice to the rest of the competition, after winning a 9-8 thriller against the ladder leading Country Club Rack Pack. Also collecting wins were the Grand Tigers, Grand Workers and Country Club Kings.
With only one win separating the 6th placed Kings and 1st placed Rack Pack, an exciting season finish seems likely.
In tonight’s clashes, 1st Division action will centre on the Grand, as the Tower look to end the Spartan’s finals hopes, while the 1st placed Country Club Rack Pack and 2nd placed Grand Tigers clash in a battle of the heavyweights.
