About our Club
WHO ARE WE?
We're a friendly bunch who love a game of 8 Ball. Our Club runs weekly games and competitions in a relaxed supportive environment. It's a great way to meet new people, improve your game and be part of the Whangamata Club family.
More than a game.
It's a community.
2026 8 Ball Annual Invitational
Our 8 Ball Adjunct hosted its Fifth Annual Invitational Tournament, welcoming 42 teams from Whangamatā and clubs throughout the region and beyond. The atmosphere was electric as players showcased their skill, sportsmanship and competitive spirit across two full days of competition. It was wonderful to see so many visitors enjoying our Club, with members and guests creating a vibrant, friendly environment that reflected the very best of what our Club has to offer.
Junior 8 Ball News
Over the weekend, 11th - 13th April, we had two of our talented juniors proudly represent the Whangamata Club at the NZ Junior 8-Ball Nationals, hosted by the Cashmere Club in Christchurch.
Caleb Diamond and Baxter Butler took on a strong field in what proved to be a demanding three days of competition.
Day one featured the drawn pairs format - Caleb partnered with Tangaroa from the Papanui Club and Baxter with Kaidyn from the Tauranga Citz Club, followed by singles play across days two and three.
This year’s tournament was the largest and most competitive Junior Nationals to date, with an impressive 56 players competing from across the country.
While the results didn’t quite fall our way overall, we’re proud to have brought home a trophy, with a fantastic effort earning a Pairs Plate Runner-Up finish.
A great experience for both players, and we look forward to seeing them build on this performance in the future.
