TASMONICS

Another Waimea pairing which caused some upsets was that of Mark Friend and Shane Geddes. Seeded at 23rd due to them not having played together at any previous event, these two proceeded to knock off several of the top sides in their section before falling to the 10-time champion pair from Dunedin in the quarter-finals.

Our other four teams all had their moments of success, mixed with tight games which went in the favour of their opposition. Without exception, a thoroughly enjoyable time was had by the Waimea players and a good representation at next year’s tournament at the Woolston Club in Christchurch is assured.

The Snooker section at Club Waimea was formed in 1992 and has established itself as a major player in the sport in the Top of the South. While some members are focused on serious competition, both locally and throughout the country, many others are merely social players who enjoy the companionship of like-minded enthusiasts.
