Carrick Pool League inaugural Mixed Doubles event
Carrick and District Pool League, sponsored by SKC Gaming NI Ltd, held its inaugural Mixed doubles championships in Greenisland Working Men’s Club.
The committee and players decided to add the 'Mixed Doubles' to their calendar of events in an attempt to create a better understanding of the gender divide.
Teams of one female and one male were randomly drawn together.
Male and female representatives from Grange, Colts, Galacticos, Stadium Bar, Pink Ladies and others took part. After a gruelling night of highly competitive pool, the finalists emerged.
Colin Beckinsale (Greenisland Colts) and Kathy Wilson (Pink Ladies) took on Richard Kitson (Grange) and Sarah Lou Graham (Pink Ladies).
With some great pool on display it was the pairing of Sarah Lou Graham and Richard Kitson who went down in history as the first CDPL Mixed Doubles champions.
