My Match at the Claddagh in the Tri Cup
Well I played a 5 as a 6 tonight. I have seen this person play at the before so I know it was a decent match. I had a 9 ball break and run but it wasn't enough tonight. At the end I needed 2 and he needed 6 and he was able to run out the 6 balls that he needed. It is...
Tri Cup at Claddagh Pub in Lawrence
Well I am at the Claddagh Pub in Lawrence again. Playing 9 Ball for my team out of Tewksbury VFW. We made it through the almost made it tournament a couple weeks ago. If we win tonight we come back tomorrow to see if we make it to the next level.
Playing a good player
Well last Thursday I played a good player. His ranking is a 7 in the CMPL and I can say I have never seen a performance like that. The race was 7 games to my 5 games. First game was the closest game to winning I had. He broke and I ran down to the 8 but scratched...
Loosing Gracefully

Grand Slam Patch Update
Well it is the last week that I am going to have a chance to get the 9 ball break and run patch. They throw up a 6 so instead of seeing if they would low ball me my team decided to play me. I am playing another 6 so I know it is going to be a good match. He wins the...
To have played or not to have played…
So the top performer award goes to the person with the best win percentage for that evening's league. I have been lucky enough to earn it during the Spring of 2011 session for my Sunday night Lowell 8 ball double jeopardy team. I also was lucky enough to get it for my...
