Interhall Pool

Two weeks ago Fenner held an 8-ball competition in order to select a team for the interhall competition. 10 players turned up and multiple games at the Maram in Wanniassa led to the selection of four elite players from around the world to represent Fenner Hall. The following Friday the four of us went to uni pub in a bid to retain the interhall pool championship, which we had shared with Ursula and UniLodge last year. Each Hall/College ranked their players one to four, and then played one game against their opposite number from the other colleges. Every player played six games, and each college played 24 games, and after the three hours of pool Fenner had proven its utter dominance in this event. Of a possible 24 wins Fenner walked away with 20. The next closest college was Burgmann with 14 wins. Playing in 1sts for my team I was undeafeted, and it inlcuded an epic battle against the Ursies' 1st player that attracted the attention of all participants. A ring of supporters had formed around the table by the 3rd shot that all watched with bated breath.
The photo may be grainy but our playing wasn't - Pete (played 4ths won 4/6), myself (played 1sts won 6/6, Sanchit (Indian import, played 3rds won 5/6), and Declan (English import, played 2nds won 5/6). In the middle the interhall pool trophy!
