Hurricane
New Year Tournament spurs “No Heel Aqeel” to yet another
astounding victory
Week 1 of Lent
Term. No essays, no work, free pool tables at Hurricanes Kings Cross
= Pool tournament!!! With a massive 10 people participating (no
shit, worst participation ever, but thanks to those who actually
came though), we decided to once again play groups with 2 groups
of five players each and the top two go through to the semi-finals.
Aqeel and Alpesh had the honour of battling it out with Phil and
Sahil to take the top 2 spots in their group, with the shock victory
of Alpesh over Aqeel in the group stages, but he still was not able
to clinch first place.
In the second
group things were a little tougher with Martin beating Will in his
group battle 3-2 but then losing to Alvin 3-2 in the very next match.
Given my loss to newcomer Dershan that put me on even points with
Alvin, meaning he went through as he beat me. Will reigned supreme
in the group sending him to the play-off with Alpesh.
Everyone could
see what was coming. Alpesh advances easily to 4-0 and is on the
final balls again, but something inexplicable happens again. 4-0
becomes 4-1. 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5… http://flipvine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4139.jpg
Pretty intense
work there from Will, thereby getting to his second final in as
many 8ball tournaments. Aqeel has a little trouble in beating Alvin,
but came back from 1-3 to take the win 5-3 as Alvin seemed to have
something in his throat as he started choking.
The final I
did not have a chance to see but rumor has it Aqeel once again took
home the victory. Awesome result, and it’s a shame we won’t
have the benefit of him at Great Yarmouth, but what can you do eh?
Fate is conspiring against the pool club again.
