Pool final tonight

The KTK Landfill Charity Pool Tournament final takes place in McTernan's tonight, beginning at 9pm.

Organised by Benny McHale with the help of other stalwarts of the McTernan's pool scene, there were some 27 teams entered for the competition, which has a guaranteed 2,000 euros in prizes and has been running since the middle of March. The proceeds from the competition are being donated to the Senior Citizens Fund.

About half the teams were from the immediate area, and a number of businesses sponsored teams, including Berneys Chemists, The Hideout and The Spout.

The KTK sponsorship is from a community fund which the landfill company provides annually to Kilcullen.
