2007 Singles Knockout

Andy Rawlinson has been crowned the 2007 Singles Champion after a thrilling finish to the Finals Day held at the Crooked Cue on Sunday. The Hop Pole player made his way through the field to meet Mike Barker in the final and looked to be down and out when trailing 3-0 with the Crooked Cue man lining up a shot on the black ball to win the match. However, the 8-ball stayed on the table, Andy pulled off a good finish to secure the frame and then went on a run of games that took him all of the way to a shake of hands and the crown.

2007 Doubles Knockout


Dave Whitfield and Dave Barker have been crowned the 2007 Doubles Champions after a close-fought final against Tim McGann and Kev Brown. The Crooked Cue pair made hard-work for themselves on the night, having to come back from 2-0 down in their semi-final against the pairing of Gaz Baker and Rob Wharne before then trailing 3-2 in the final itself. But they held their nerve and took their chances when they came. Martin Priestley bowed out of the Stafford pool scene with defeat in his semi-final alongside partner Mike Barker. Martin, who held the post of Pool League Treasurer for several years, now moves onto pastures new in Peterborough.
