As National coach I was very happy with the players improvement since the first training day and all players looked more focus and their concentration, cue ball control was much beter today.
On the 14th of August at the first training day the players made 7 century scores but today the players made one 400+ break, two 200+ breaks and eight 100+ breaks.
The players are requested to be in Dun Laoighaire at 12 o clock on Friday the 9th of September and if you need more information contact PJ Nolan 086 8634507
