GONE TO POT - Part 2

Some of you may remember that in June last year with the Snooker afternoon looming, two 

Guildford brothers decided to get ahead of the pack and practice their potting skills. The pair 

were identified as Billiards Boy Ballard and The D'Souza Kid. This year, on the 19th of March, 

another clandestine practice occurred at the home of Bro. John ‘whack’em in’ Williams. This 

time the ‘D’Souza Kid’ was not in attendance because it was alleged that on the last occasion 

he had cheated by ‘weighting his balls’. However, Billiards Boy Ballard turned up along with 

Harvey ‘Hurricane’ Palmer, Gerry ’the Gent’ Newell and Martin ‘the Maestro’ McHugh.

Naturally, snooker was played at the very highest level and at the end of a fiercely contested 

afternoon, Billiards Boy and the Gent saw off the gallant efforts of Whack’em, the Hurricane 

and the Maestro to win bragging rights. As you will notice, the Maestro is not in the photo 

because he took it. Good shot!
