Ch'SHIP SNOOKER: Mixed results for Cricket Club big-hitters
The pair faced Oak Grove opposition, with Weekes confirming short-price favouritism against the junior-graded Barry McDaid (55-27 and 70-52), but Ferguson lost out in two closely contested frame to the very capable Shea Norris (64-58 and 60-50).
The semi-finals in both the Intermediate and Junior Championship grades are down for decision this week, the combatants doubtless experiencing a tingle of excitement and the inevitable ‘butterflies’ as they face the semi-final intimidating atmosphere. Know how they feel as I played in a few myself, always with a calm nerve I hasten to add (thanks to a session in the pub before hand!).
