A MESSAGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN PRESIDENT

Congratulations to the Northern Territory 8 Ball Association, – who
having realised the potential of our young Australian players –
following the inaugural Junior Australian Titles held in Melbourne in
March of 1991 , quickly claimed for the Territory the right to host the
Titles in 1992.

That inaugural Junior Australian Titles in Melbourne – showed to all
who cared to attend – that juniors in the cloth sports have a lot to offer
and should not and can not be ignored.

All States and Territories of Australia are now aware of the talent in
this area and have or are developing training, coaching and Pennant for
our young players. Juniors have proved to be extremely competitive at
all levels – as some senior players have discovered. Furthermore their
demeanor and sportsmanship – at their age – is wonderful.

Staging an Australian Title is no mean feat, and thanks must go to the
N.T. Association, the Committee of the Top End Junior Association and
the many helpers and sponsors who have made the event possible.
Thanks too, for the many hours and dollars put in by the parents of
these future champions, in seeing they get to compete in various
tournaments, pennant games etc.

To the players – never forget – you are ambassadors of the sport, of
your parents and teachers – be a sportsperson first, if you are talented
or lucky enough to win – be gracious. If you are defeated look on it as
a avaluable learning experience – we must all learn to lose – to
appreciate how wonderful it is to win. Best of luck to you all.

A MESSAGE FROM THEAUSTRALIAN PRESIDENT

Firstly-I would liketo take thisopportunity to wish all junior competitors
the very best in this, the 3rd year of Junior 8-Ball National Titles.
Congratulations on making selection in your age group in your state
or territory. I hope you all thoroughly enjoy the competitive spiritof th is
sport whilst you are competing and Iam sureyou will enjoy your stay
in the lovely city of Perth.

Thesefew days would of course, not be possible without those people
from each state and/or territory who have worked so hard to ensure
that juniors are able to compete and enjoy the sport of 8-Ball. To be
able to produce state champions to compete at National Junior level
requires many hours of dedication by a great number of people. To
the parents of our future champions, who have put forward many
dollars to enable their children to compete in the various pennant
matches and additional tournaments, allowing them to develop the
necessary skillsto reach this level, to you all, for your contributions, we
humbly thank you.

Furtherthanks and appreciation must also go to
the hardworking Western Australian Eight Ball Federation for their
efforts in preparing these 1993 National Junior 8-BallTitles.They have
left no stone unturned in their effort to make these 199~Junior Titles a
resounding success – as was achieved at the senior level in 1992- a
memorable occasion for all who participated.

Once again, my best wishesto all players. May you enjoy your 8-Ball
and if whilst competing, you are defeated, always be a true
sportsperson and congratulate your opponent. If you win, be gracious.
Mostly though, just enjoy this wonderful occasion and maybe,
in the not too distant future we will see you competing at National
Senior level. Who knows what the next step will then be.
To those wonderful people – THE SPONSORS- who have made
valuable contributions, to enable our dedicated committees to foster
the sport of 8-Ballwithin Australia, we sincerely thank you, one and all.

GOOD SHOOTING!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

It is with great pleasure the Australian Eight Ball Federation welcomes
all competitors and supporters to Melbourne for these
Australain Junior Eight Ball Championships of 1997.

We are very pleased to have all 8 States and Territories represented
here this year in Melbourne where it all started for
Juniors, Nationally, some years ago.
The extended event is sure to produce much exciting pool and
some future Senior Champions.

However, in the meantime, these Championhips will again produce
National Junior Champions in all 3 age groups and for the
first time Under 18’s will be invited to represent Australia in
South Africa and then England at the World Junior
Championships in May, 1997.

More important though is that all players try their best and enjoy
this special week of Junior Pool and new friends will be made
along the way. Our National “Juniors” Director, Mrs Jo Shrigley will be present
at the Championship all week and is only too happy to assist
you with any answers or support you may need.

I would like to thank our major sponsors Hainsworth Group of

support and point out we prefer and recommend Hainsworth
Cloth, Riley Cues and Red and Yellow Balls for competition play.
The national executive would like to thank Heather Zappia for
the many hours applied to organizing this event and also

A MESSAGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN 8-BALL PRESIDENT

As we turn back the pages of history, the Australian Inaugural Open
National a-Ball Events commenced in South Australia 10 years ago –
1984 and since then our sport throughout Australia has grown in leaps
and bounds. In 1989 we saw ladies introduced at national level and In
1991 the inaugural Australian Junior 8-Ball Championships
commenced in Victoria. In 1992 further progress – a junior competing
in open National Titles in Western Australia for the first time, and in
Northern Territory saw more juniors competing for more states at Open
National Level.

All of which is very encouraging to the junior development programmes
throughout Australia. In 1993 in Manchester, England the World 8-Ball
Championships (an inaugural event) of the World Eightball Pool
Federation. During the Annual General Meeting of this world body it
was decided that each country will be allowed two (2) juniors under the
age of 18 years to compete in the 1994 championships, a major
innovation to progress in such a short period of time. At the time of
writing, details are still to be finalised BUT Australia will be sending two
juniors to Manchester, England from these 1994 Australian Junior
Championships to compete in the World Championships under
international playing rules.

I would like further to thank the South Australian Junior Committee and
their many helpers for their time and effort in hosting this event, also to
the parents who have put in many hours and dollars to enable all
juniors to compete. Mayall your efforts be rewarding.

To those people who "have got behind the 8-Ball" and come forth with
valuable sponsorship dollars, 8-Ball is indebted to your generosity in
its quest for the future. If the 8-Ball fraternity get behind these
valuable sponsors – both can only be successful.

Best of luck to all the juniors, in all divisions, who have earned the right
to represent their state or territory at National Level. May you enjoy
your 8-Ball.

Thank you South Australia for looking to the future of 8-Ball.

President – AEBF

A MESSAGE FROM THE AUSTRALIAN PRESIDENT

It is most encouraging to see, since the inception of the inaugural event in 1991,
the development and growth of our Junior competitors in Eight-Ball, in all age groups,
throughout Australia. The skill level and dedication has certainly made an impact to
senior competitors, administrators and the media, that can only prove rewarding in the
future.

To capture the comments from spectators who have witnessed our juniors
competinq is most satisfying, to say the least. The knowledge that already a good
number are now representing their respective State / Territory at senior level in both
Open and Ladies events is gratifying.

Congratulations to all juniors in each age group, you have won the right to
represent your State / Territory at National level in 1995. Best of luck to each and
everyone of you, may you enjoy your Eight-Ball and may you all continue on to
become future champions.

My heartiest congratulations must also go to the hardworking committee and
helpers of the ACT Eight-Ball Association, in what I am sure will be a smooth running
of your first National Eight-Ball event. One can only admire your efforts to make this
National event a memorable occasion for all concerned.

A special thank you to the sponsors, who. have generously supported this
important event on the Eight-Ball calendar. All sponsors are listed throughout the
pages of the Program Book, and I hope all competitors and their followers take the
time to read, as well as to support, these sponsors, as they have supported our sport.
Once again, my best wishes to all competitors in your quest to achieve a National
title, remembering sportsmanship is the biggest winner of all.
I am sure you will all enjoy your stay in Australia's capital city, Canberra, where
you will find many sights to explore. I know you will receive great friendships wherever
you go.
