6th Class boys rounded off their Active Schools Week with a most enjoyable afternoon in Celbridge Snooker Hall receiving coaching from one of the top Snooker players in the world over the last 20 years Fergal O Brien. He began the lesson by explaining how to control the white ball in snooker, how to hold the cue and the correct stance when taking a shot. The boys were given the opportunity to play matches against each other on the tables in the snooker hall. During this time Fergal was generous with his teaching and took time to give all the boys around the hall various tips about their techniques. James who also coaches at Celbridge Snooker Hall was also on hand to pass on some valuable advice to the boys.
At the end of their games the boys gathered once more around Fergals table where he demonstrated a number of trick shots for the boys before completing a break of 3 Reds and all the colours to the astonishment of all the boys. From their experience today the boys certainly learned first hand the importance hard work and practice plays in this sport which looks much easier on television. We are very grateful to Fergal for his time and skill sharing with the boys today. It was an experience they will treasure forever, We owe a big thanks to James and all in Celbridge Snooker for hosting todays lesson. We will all be keeping an eye on the snooker results in the future and following his recent 147 Break he is obviously in good form.
