Catt’s Place tops Triangle in eight ball competition

Good evening. I?m James Adderley and we?re privileged to launch this latest dish of Sports Monday live into your living room.

For some time now we?ve been telling you about the Guines 8 Ball Pool Tournament in action here in Belize City, well tonight we take you to an actual match. Friday night when Triangle Bar hosted Catt?s Place?note well fans, each team features five players in a five game series with twenty-five points at stake.

Tonight?s opening match finds Jose Moh Garcia needing to win this rack to force a 2-2 tie, but he looses control of the king ball to give Lucio Munoz a ball in hand opportunity.

Lucio of Catt?s Place sinks the seven, ratios for the five and then sets himself up beautifully to sink the eight ball and he wins 3 to 1.

In the second match here?s Triangle?s Amir Baiza in a 2-2 tie with a Roger Murillo of Catt?s Place. He has a chance to win but is hurt by the disappearance of his king ball, giving the 3-2 w to Catt?s Place.

Now let?s join Jason Harvey, who is having his way with Attilio Ulloa, after sinking the ten ball. Then comes up with good ration with the thirteen. As Harvey goes on to blank his opponent 3-zip.

In the meantime Allan McKoy makes a mess out of this attempt at ten. It?s fatal because he is already down 2 to 1.

Of course Dwight Warrior wouldn?t let him off the hook. First he handles the six makes the seven and then sinks the eight ball like a cool professional to earn the 3-0 big w.

We go to the final match and its Angel Blair locked in a 2-2 tie with William Leiva of Catt?s Place. This move by Blair prove to be counter productive as no ball falls.

So Leiva takes the two then the seven, punches the sixth into the corner pocket and then drains the eight down the far corner to record the 3-2 big w.

Catt?s Place takes the series in a 3-2 score.

Thus the four teams to make the Guines 2006 play-offs have emerged. Defending champion Advance leads with 114 points. Impossible is nothing also knows as Mike?s Club 100 points, Catt?s Place 98 and Triangle Bar gets in with 84 points.

The play-offs get underway Friday, July twenty-eighth at Copa Cabana, where Triangle takes on Advance. On Saturday Catt?s Place face off with Impossible is Nothing.

Turning to the softball scene, we take you to Double Head Cabbage where the softball community congregated on Sunday in a fund raising effort aimed at assistance to Gina Flowers, a player of the Double Head Sunflower team. She is in dire need of a liver transplant.

The El Salvador contingent did not arrive as advertised going into game time nevertheless the show did go on. Rural All Stars B mashed up Rural All Stars A 7-2, while B.T.L. of Belize City handed the Rural All Stars 8-3.

Now meet Gina Flowers.

?Right now I?m mostly lone softball team, the play sports and that to fund raise. We do different fund raisers for me also like cooking and stuff. It alright so far, but I need more supporters. Come out and support me more. I would like to thank everybody that has already supported me.?

Anybody who would like to assist can call Miss Joyce Flowers at 209-2084 or 209-2081.

We certainly wish Gina Flowers the best.

Finally folks as the row continues in Belizean football. We spoke to Football Federation of Belize President Dr. Bertie Chimilio to find out what is the current situation.

Dr. Bertie Chimilio, President F.F.B.
?I have had a busy month in Germany. In my absences the first vice president, Ray Davis decided to take over the office and called himself the acting president. He pushed away the guy we had in charge there and changed the locks on the federation building. He entered the office and did some ransacking, and I spoke to him from Germany and he told me that he is in charge. That cannot happen in football; you just can?t walk in and say you are in charge. He said that when I get back to go talk to him, I said wow strange. So again they decided to call an extra-ordinary meeting, and got three members to vote in an election. Now to vote in an election is a procedure and I am so disappointed at the three members. They did not study well or were probably encouraged to do what they did. He wanted to go ahead with a meeting as an acting president and an acting president does not exist in the federation. I came back from Germany and went to the office and being at the office he hasn?t contacted me, except by email telling me I must come to a meeting. So there is certainly level of insubordination, which the emergency committee of the federation dealt with last week by suspending them. That is a disciplinary action and as far as I am concern there is no confusion. It was simply a group of guys who wanted to take over and I have no problem to go through it democratically. I am in charge and will be in charge until election comes about.?

Now folks you know it and I do too. It is never over until it is over. So stay tuned because we will be keeping you posted.

Hey folks that?s our show for tonight. We certainly invite you back same time, same place next week. Jah, over all I am James Adderley.
