John had a great flight, and scored points every week in the session (no zeros!). Nice shooting!

Playoffs

in the first round of playoffs, Mike Fitch was able to edge out his brother by a slim margin of 5 points! Doug took on 3rd place Gino Burdujan but could not get past Gino who advanced by 8 balls. In the finals, Gino and Mike played pretty evenly, with both players making some incredible shots, including some tough combination and “out of the pack”shots. However, Mike lost steam towards the end of the match and Gino was able to win 120-93 to win the session trophy.
