In Kenton a basement pool room of a hardware store became Brierwood Creek Cafe. One table moved to Woodworth Legion in 1984 after the hardware sold. Local players named include Geordie Whyte and Ken Hunter with others queuing for evenings and day games.
Glen Hunter taught a game and guided many who once played in the old hardware store basement. The main game now is golf with snooker and blue ball still mentioned. A famous memory: Claire Hunter made a near impossible shot, the room fell silent, then laughter as the line about never missing such shots echoed.
