Thanks to Moulin Rouge for hosting a competition the past Monday. A few upsets and some fantastic games were played. Deon Pool took first prize followed by Nico Davies, who was on his way to winning just before the white ball joined the black in the final shot. Levin Poonan and Ashlin Pillay took third and fourth respectively. Thank you to all who supported the competition.
Good luck to the women and the seniors teams who will be representing KZN Pool Federation at the nationals in Worcester. The tournaments kick off on 26 April and 3 May respectively. The seniors will be defending their title. Make the province proud and bring back both titles this time.
