As president of our Sports & Social Club at work, there are some nights that you cannot take off, even if your recently torn meniscus is telling you that a quiet evening with the feet up wouldn't be so bad.
One of these is our annual Pool Championship at The Palace in Camden Street. Last year I had the indecency of winning both the company Pool and Bowling tournaments (never a good thing when you're the event manager!), so I was happy that a big competitive field turned out, among them my good mate Per, an avid snooker player, and our Managing Director, Tom.

The Tournament in Short
All in all, we had a good night out, with a good turn-up, making for a really exciting and well-contested knock-out tournament. The quality of play was a lot better than the year before, and Ben and Karin ran away with the team competition early in the evening.
The singles tournament was the real highlight, Alan, Thorsten's friend, and Tom wiped their way through the tournament with ease, while I limped my way into the semis only to be completely massacred by Tom, barely touching the cue in the process.
The final was breathtaking stuff. Tom playing Allan best of three, and pulling out with a slender win in each game to crunch a 2-1 victory. Top of the company? You bet!
Like seeing "Fast Eddie" Falsom all over again...
