Calis Darts and Pool League Presentation night

[Pi55y]

Below is a sneak preview of the article about Mondays Darts and Pool League presentation night which will feature both in Land of Lights and Fethiye Times.  There are also a few pictures of the event.

The winter season of the Calis Children's Charity Darts and Pool League came to a successful close last Monday when the presentation of shields to the two league winners took place at a special presentation and knock out championship evening at the new Bostans Hotel in Calis.

The popular league, which for the third year running was kindly sponsored by Cenk and Olga Avci of Calis estate agents, Interturk Estates, had been running on Monday nights throughout the winter months with teams representing 8 Calis bars and restaurants taking part.

Competition had been fierce in both leagues with unbeaten double champions and favourites Seril 1 being shown the way in the pool by PJ's Bar who managed a seven point lead. However Seril retained the darts championship title for the third year running, beating close runners up Nil Bar by only two points.

Hosts Bostans won the dubious honour of being awarded the wooden spoon for coming last in pool and the wooden spoon for darts was awarded to Bati Cafe.  All of the participating bars and restaurants will receive a certificate thanking them for their support.

During the two weeks prior to the presentation evening a special darts and pool knockout competition was organized by the 3C's.  All of the teams held their own knockout competitions. The winners of both the darts and pool then represented their team in a grand knockout championship final on the night.

For the second year running Kelvin Duffin won the cup for the 2012 Darts Championship, closely beating Mike Churchill.  The 2012 Pool Champion cup was won by Martin Simms with Chris Ward being runner up.

The league, besides providing a weekly fun social evening at the bars throughout the winter, also helps to raise money for the 3C's charity, helping children in the Calis/Fethiye area.

Unfortunately Cenk of Interturk Estates was unable to stay to present the cups so 3C's league organisers Graham Whitaker and Kevin Dennis presented them on his behalf. They thanked Interturk for their continuing support and everyone who had supported the league throughout the season. They also thanked hosts Carole and Recip of Bostans for providing a great venue and good food for the final.

Final positions of the league and Knock out Competition are as follows:

Pool League - 1st PJ's (96), 2nd Seril (89), 3rd Eyna (79), 4th Annas Garden (76), 5tth    Bati Cafe (60), 6th Nil Bar (58), 7th Kara (55), 8th Bostans (46)
