Catalina ACE Hardware: Dominic “The Doctor” Borland, Bar-B-Q Utensils

The day started with nine of the 16 participants meeting at the RoadRunner Grill for an early lunch. The 8-Ball Singles tournament started at 1:00 p.m. and lasted two and a half hours with 29 games of 8-Ball being played. We competed and met some new friends that shared our passion. That is a good day! Rack ’em up!

The Pool Players of the Brooke want to extend a big thank you to all our participants and our sponsor. On a special note we had two brave PPB ladies jump into the fray to compete against 13 men; nice job Nancy Barrett and Julie Ferguson. Nancy Barrett chalked up her first win in a singles tournament!
