Young group for state team

The women's team will also face a learning curve for several new faces.

The masters team is led by Tasmanian junior development officer Cyrill Triffitt along with Doug Goss and Tony Adams, of Hobart, who have a good chance of being in the finals come next Wednesday.

Full results can be found at www.aebf.com.au.

The Tasmanian team consists of: Gregg Watt (captain), Sam Thurgood (vice-captain), Cale Barrett, Anthony Adams, Chris Forsyth, Jonny Lennard, Phil Dando, Trent Brooks, Bruce Lockley, Andrew Saltmarsh. The women's team is led by Fiona Plummer with Miranda Jamieson, Denise Millington, Michelle Grundy, Leonie Brooks, Debbie Rainbow and Mandy Snare.

Northern roster

THE 2009 Northern eightball roster started on Tuesday, and features three divisions of six teams.

New to the roster is the Legana Tavern eightball teams, and the NTEBA wishes them all the best in their first of what will hopefully be many rosters.

Also starting this week is the billiards roster, featuring nine teams from LWC, Launceston RSL, Exeter RSL and Longford RSL.

State shield

UNFORTUNATELY, the Northern snooker team could not win the last state shield match of the year, and make it a clean sweep of all five matches this year.

Played at the Claremont RSL club, the South proved far too strong for the North and the North-West sides.
