The Gunn Show 16 held at Dooly's Rockingham on May 18th had a great turnout , we knew with a long weekend there may be some no-shows, but when the door's opened at 9 am there were players wanting to get on the waiting list. We went over our cap and had 41 amazing people/players come out to support my event and the charities I am dedicated to. There were quite a few new faces coming into the event and they did not disappoint with their playing....Wow, we have some up and coming strong players on the Women's and Men's side to watch out for in the future.
The matches ran perfect and with this large field, were still done just after 11 pm and certainly makes me happy to see the growing interest in my events, and only want to see the sport continue to grow. I would like to thank "Maloney's Cue Repair & Products" for donating 6 gloves on top of the 2 gas cards I give away at each of my Event's.....was awesome and myself, and the lucky ticket holders appreciate this.. :) The fund-raising side of the event went very well and the first 50/50 was won by Glen Stuart, and the second by Kent Jennings wonderful daughter, with the personal donations and the 50/50's we made $300.00 split between The Canadian Cancer Society and The Dooly's Rockingham "Breakfast Program".......thank you to everyone for caring and your support.
The day was filled with some amazing matches and a lot of fun for sure. As the day went on the field was getting tougher and tougher, Dale and I decided at the start of the day that with the 41 field that we would change the payout from top 8 to top 12....and everyone was fighting for the top spot at the end :) When it came down to the final's Kyle Richard continued to plow through the competition and eliminated Nok M. near the end of the A side, only to see Nok battle his way back up from the B side to meet Kyle in the final race to 7. They were not going to give each other the games and it came down to hill-hill, and Nok was given a chance and took the title 7-6....these two certainly earned the wins and did not disappoint those watching the stream.
I would like to thank Ashley T. and her staff at Dooly's Rockingham for hosting my event and the excellent service from her staff. Huge thank you to my team of Dale Brimicombe and Brian McNamara "Brian's Cuesport Streams" who make these events run perfect, their dedication to my tournaments and the sport will continue to see it grow and so lucky to have them with me. And lastly, to the players who make the events such a success, thank you so much for your support and will keep them coming for you to enjoy. :)
