Hi All,
Its good to be back in Cape Town even though its so darn cold. We all had a great time in Oudhtshoorn and the weather was perfect for the week that we were there. The Ladies performed very well and were very unlucky not to make the semi-finals, losing their last game against the B division winners, Northern Free State by 1 point! An excellent effort from all the girls, especially considering that only 2 of them have ever played at that level before!

It was a great learning curve for all of them and they gained invaluable experience. The nerves obviously played a big part in a lot of tight situations which could very easily have gone the other way! I want to thank all the ladies in the team for the way they supported each other and for the great support shown towards me even though most of them didn't really know me before the tournament.The comaraderie between the players and the two Boland teams was great and can only auger well for Boland Ladies Pool.Watch out next year, I forsee great things happening!!

On a somber note, on behalf of all the girls, our deep condolences to Karina and Adri whos mother passed away on Saturday morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Now on to some Cue Inn Things.

Cue Inn 5 almost caused the shock of the league, narrowly losing 12-13 on the black ball of the last game to Mabis 1 on Tuesday!!! Well done to them. Cue Inn 1 Is playing Mabis 5 tonight at Mabis. I dont have the latest stats etc as Yvette was also away on tour with us and then was sick when we came back. We wish her a speedy recovery and, knowing her, everything will be up to date and running smoothly very shortly!

Last nights Pool Comp. had 27 entries and is growing every week. In future, the first rounds will be "sudden death" and best of 3 from the last 16 only.
Monday we had our monthly Trivia and despite the weather their was a great turnout. Once again thanks to the ladies from La Essence, Elzanne and Kelly for all their hard work.

Karaoke again on Friday 18th. Hope to see you all there.

Take care everybody, see you all soon.

Be Cool, Play Pool
JJ
