The sound of pins echoed as Alan added his own strike to the mix, setting the tone for a night filled with friendly banter and competitive spirit. 

We detoured to the arcades for some light-hearted fun and a few rounds of pool to sharpen our skills. We laughed as we tried our luck at various games.

Back at the pool club, the next rounds of the pool tournament commenced. In the semi-final between Alan and Darren, the competition was tense! Darren secured the first frame, capitalising on a foul shot and potting all his colours – a slick move that earned him a 1-0 lead. However, Alan bounced back with determination, claiming the next three frames in a commanding fashion, securing a 3-1 victory, and punching his ticket to the final. In the other semi-final showdown, Joseph and Mark took to the pool table. 

Mark asserted his dominance, winning all three frames with precision and skill. His victory set the stage for an intense final clash against Alan, promising a thrilling duel between two formidable contenders. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as we geared up around the final table for the ultimate showdown to determine the pool champion! 

Alan sealed the pool trophy with a triumphant victory, winning the first three frames in a closely contested final. Everyone received a medal for their great sportsmanship.

As we hit the lanes, the excitement soared. Daniel wasted no time, hitting a strike with his first shot, setting the tone for an electrifying game. Not to be outdone, Alan followed suit with a striking performance of his own. The competition had reached new heights, and the thrill was intense. Joseph hit a personal best of 129 in his third game, showcasing his bowling skills. The leader board painted a promising picture for Joseph, Darren, and Daniel, while others aimed to catch up. Strikes and spares echoed all around our lanes, creating an exceptional competition. The air was thick with anticipation as each roll could make or break the game. 

The day concluded with a medal and trophy presentation, a fitting recognition of the talent and sportsmanship displayed by the whole group.
