Greater North 2010 - L-R - Scot Kopriva, David Lee, Tim Wright, Andrew Saltmarsh (Capt), Ian Kaye, Gerrad Wicks, Kris Cherry, Peter Wallace, Phillip Hodgetts, Tim Wright, (Absent Bruce Lockley)

In a day of some quality 8ball the Greater North defeated Southern Tasmania 31 - 29, with the Greater North leading 28 - 22 going in to the last set, the Southern Tasmanian team showed why they were a class team getting back to 30 - 29 before Peter Wallace from the North won the last match to grab the victory 31 - 29

The match had been arranged between Geoff Youd from Southern Tasmania and Peter Wallace and Andrew Saltmarsh from the NTEBA and the match was played for the David Smart Memorial Shield in which in it's first year (of hopefully many) was won by the North and the shield will be proudly displayed at the Launceston Workers Club; the shield was donated by the Commercial Hotel and Southern Tasmania

David and Sharon's daughter Caitlyn presented the shield to the winning captain of the Greater North - Andrew Saltmarsh and her attendance was appreciated by all players for attending the days play and presenting the shield
