CHIANGMAI POOL LEAGUE

BLUE SKY FLIES HIGH!

Straight in to the Chiangmai Pool League and straight to the top - that's how Blue Sky Garden in Rachamanka Road tackled their first appearances last month!

Leaving last year's champions Rock Hard Bistro struggling, Blue Sky led the League at time of going to press with the improved Hill & Slither Bar and supercharged Viking Bar right up there too.

In the back of CM Entertainment Plaza, Loi Kroh Road, H&S have a good, fast table and a consistent finishing record, but it's the new faces in the Viking team, tieing with them at our press time, which caused the stir. From second last to equal second must be a team manager's dream and their Thai-farang mix looks formidable.

Tucked away in the little sois between Loi Kroh and Thapae Road, the Anglo-German-Thai alliance at Flamingo is out in force again. Boosted in bodies by their steady rise to fortune last year, Rock Hard split into 2 teams for their 2003 assault. But it's not going according to plan. Rock Hard lay 5th out of 10 and Rock Harder were languishing in 8th close to the month end. Dutch Frank's No Name Cafe led UK Darren's Home to Roost in these early games - but there's a long way to go!

Up 2 U has had a disappointing start to the season, the former mid-fielders languishing in 9th, ahead of never-say-die December Bar who say they are truly the foundation of the League, holding up the rest. Everyone was sorry to lose the talented and popular Lucky Bar team this season, out only because the players were mostly the staff, which meant panic time at away games. Come check it out at any of the Friday night home games.
