Finals Day Review - May 2007

Almost 200 people descended on the Bishopsgate Club on April 15th, for the City Pool League's Annual Finals Day. The League had held it's annual 'Grande Finale' at the Foleshill Road venue for the previous six years, and the Bishopsgate again proved to be excellent hosts.

The League season started back in June 2006, and whilst the Divisional titles had all been sewn up the month before, the day was the conclusion of the 2006/7 season that would see sixteen individual and team titles decided. Some thirty four matches later, and after ten hours of constant action, the winners emerged, with five titles going to defending champions, and another five going to previous winners.

The day didn't get off to a smooth start, as the installation of the new overhead lighting took longer than expected, with the first event starting some 45 minutes late. Fortunately, everyone agreed that it was well worth the wait, as it was a massive improvement on previous years.

There were many highlights on the day, and everyone who made it to this year's finals should consider themselves winners anyway. Particularly worthy of note are the Craftsman 'A', winners of the Champion of Champions title for the fifth successive year, and the Premier Club landlord, Jamie Connolly, continued his domination of the Wednesday Captains knock-out, winning it for the sixth time in the last nine years. Also noteworthy are the winners of the Monday night Doubles, Andy Edgington and Les Nash, who only dropped one frame during the entire campaign.

The Nugget and the Foresters both showed that a poor league season doesn't always reflect on a team's abilities, as the Nugget ran out convincing five-one winners of the Alternative Cup, beating Division One's Rose and Crown side, whilst the Foresters overcame a three-one deficit against the Howitzers, to win the Rileys Challenge Cup by five frames to four.
