MARCO DA CARVALHO ((RUNNER UP IN 1998 AND CHAMPION IN 1999) SHAKES HANDS WITH THE 1998 WINNER OF THE PEGASUS TITLE, MIKEY ALEXANDROU

1995 LAUNCH OF PEGASUS POOL. LEFT TO RIGHT KNEELING IS SIPHO, NEVILLE SOLOMON, AND WESLEY.
STANDING BEHIND FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IS: PIETER, MARCO, JOHAN, ANGELO SIKIOTIS AND DESMOND SMITH.
THE ABOVE PLAYERS REPRESENTED 50% OF THE PLAYERS THAT STARTED THE LEAGUE IN 1995 WHEN THE FIRST PRIZE WAS AN OVERSEAS HOLIDAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, ONLY MARCO AND ANGELO ARE STILL PLAYING IN THE SUNDAY LEAGUE THE REST HAVE COMMITMENTS THAT ONLY ALLOW THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN LEAGUES THAT HAPPEN DURING WEEKDAY EVENINGS AFTER WORK. DESMOND SMITH HOWEVER IS CURRENTLY ON A KIBBUTZ IN ISRAEL AND WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT HE RETURNS SOON.

MARCO SHAKING MIKEY ALEXANDROUS HAND WITH RICHARD ARTHUR IN THE MIDDLE BEFORE THE 1998 PEGASUS FINALS.
MIKEY DEMOLISHED MARCO 8-0 BUT THIS WAS TO BE THE LAST TIME THAT MIKEY HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEATING MARCO.
DURING 1999 MIKEY AND MARCO MET 3 TIMES AND ON EACH OCCASSION, MARCO HAD THE PLEASURE OF SHOWING MIKEY WHAT WAS TO COME AT THE 1999 PEGASUS FINALS.
MARCO RAN THROUGH ALL THE OPPOSITION WITH ONLY THE ODD FRAME NOT GOING HIS WAY, BUT MIKEY HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF LOSING TO A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN PLAYER "WILLOW ADRIAANSE" AND NOT MEETING MARCO ALONG THE WAY. GIVEN ANY OPPORTUNITY, MARCO FINISHED ALL HIS FRAMES VITUALLY FROM ANYWHERE.
WILLOW ADRIAANSE WAS THE UNFORTUNATE PLAYER TO MEET MARCO WHILE HE WAS IN THIS TITLE RACE FRAME OF MIND AND GOT DEMOLISHED IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS.
MARCO MUST CERTAINLY BE CONSIDERED AS THE BEST EVER PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY BEHIND THE ALL TIME GREAT "DESMOND SMITH".
RUMOUR HAS IT THAT MIKEY IS CONSIDERING RETIRING FROM POOL AFTER HE COMES BACK FROM THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2000, BUT MAYBE HE CHANGES HIS MIND IF HE PICKS HIS GAME UP AGAIN.
