Albany 1 and Narrogin 1 unable to be separated in Great Southern Eight Ball Classic A-grade event

The annual Great Southern Eight Ball Classic was held at two different venues over the weekend, featuring teams from Narrogin, Katanning and Albany eight ball clubs.

The A-grade competition was played at the New Cornwall Hotel in Narrogin and the B-grade was held at the Stirling Club in Albany.

The classic is a round-robin event, with every A-grade and B-grade team playing each other over the weekend.

In the A-grade the result came down to the last round of fixtures to see who would win the venue competition, with a three-way tussle between Albany 1, Narrogin 1 and Albany 2.

After all the frames had been played it ended up a draw between Albany 1 and Narrogin 1 while Albany 2 finished second.

In the B-Grade competition, Albany 1 ran away with the win while Narrogin filled second.

Albany’s Ken Skinner had the highest A-grade percentage of 80, followed by Narrogin’s Adam Symonds and Scott Cochrane (70 per cent) and Katanning’s Richard Plunkett (60).

Damien Benson from Albany had the highest percentage in B-grade with 80, followed by Narrogin’s Jack Nankivell (70) and Katanning’s Chris Catto (60).

The event’s organisers thanked both venues for their hospitality and the players for their sportsmanship and cooperation during the event.

The next round of the Great Southern Classic is on February 5 and 6.
