Pheasnats Landing Pool Team Shamrocks

By Michael Torstrup
The Shamrocks take second place in the Central Jersey Local Team Championship Cities Tournament. Their home pub is Pheasants Landing Hillsborough, New Jersey and is part of the American Poolplayers Association. The team is led by Captain James Burke Sr. and Co-Captain Paul Sullivan, both from Hillsborough NJ and both pivotal in preparing the team for their spectacular finish. The Shamrocks took first place in spring 2012 which qualified them to play in the cities tournament held at the Manville VFW. The 2 day tournament was comprised of top level pool players throughout the state in which the Shamrocks made it to the final championship game. The competition was only surpassed by the great sportsmanship recognized by all pool players that participated in this top level event.
