Hat-trick of snooker wins for Cannock club

The Cannock club, captained by Jacko Page, beat Wellington Rotary club, in a very close match. The final score of 4-0 Cannock did not truly reflect the very hard-fought match.  Each game was on a knife edge until the final black ball was potted in all games, the match could have easily have gone either way with 2 of the games won by 3 points and another was under 10. 

Jacko said: “Maybe the luck favours the brave, our team certainly had the rub of baize this year, it is the third win in succession, this time playing our old friends from Wellington”. He thanked the Rotary Club of Wellington “for an excellent game which was played in a sporting manner in the true spirit of Rotary.”  He stated that this win was a club effort he thanked his winning team of Mel Wilton, Alan Thompson, Chris Young and Bill Evans and also those members who had played in some of the earlier rounds but were unavailable for the final.

The winners’ cup was presented by the District President Cressida Dickens who congratulated both teams for a very sporting and entertaining final and congratulated Cannock on their win.

District Sports officer San Jukes, said: “The match was very close match and praised both teams’ for their good humour, sportsmanship and fellowship throughout the match”   

Sport plays and important role within Rotary by bring clubs and their members together for fellowship events and helps to firm bonds between clubs.

Teams from the Cannock club are still in the final rounds of the 10-pin bowling which are the last of the winter sports events for the current Rotary year.

Summer sports will soon be underway with Crown Green Bowling and Croquet.
