This is disgusting!!
I hope all players that have been in this situation come forward and present their case against this man who is bulling and banning players!!!
Who is it really doing the match fixing huh??? Bernie!?!
How is it that one guy at a club can do this is crazy.But i guess hes smart enough to have his seat secured with legal jargon its hard to get him voted out.Sounds like alot of conflict of interest going on here
Bernie did the same thing to my family about 16 years ago, is was just before or after he became the president of masse. My mum played for the NZ ladies team and was at one point ladies champ and for no reason at all was banned with multiple other members of my family. Such a disgrace. Wrong family this time Bernie.
The Dunn family
They need a proper investigation into the club these accusations without a full investigation or proof is unprofessional they may need a new committee that’s unbiased
What a crappy club management they should be investigated and give the evidence of proof .
I see corruption is not just in the U.S. thats horrible. It is so obvious she was banned because of her complaint. And he dad banned too? Now i could understand if he went in there yelling and screaming at them causing a disturbance ir being threatening. But we dont have any proof of that. Just a concerned father that knows his daughter was wronged. So ridiculous. 100% corruption.
I know Kimberley, and there's no way she would even contemplate what she is accused of.
If you know these girls you know how that pool is their lives and the would never fix any match.
Dark, this is just so upsetting.
Imagine being part of a board and conducting urself in this degree. Dirty scoundrels.
I reckon this is tame compared to the pokie money rorts being pulled by some of these organizations - isn't it true that a former Canterbury Pool Association president was incarcerated for stealing Pub Charity money - and you'd be naïve to think there aren't "incentives" being provided for venues that install poker machines...
Interview the club president, perhaps!
Tell me who they are!!
I'm an American cueist who only knows about NZ when I watch rugby union.
Something doesn't smell right here
Ranked by who.never heard of them
What’s going on ???
Here’s a word doc of the story. Its a big spread in today’s newspaper too. This is 100% guys.
Molly toff cocktail when the manager is on site
Bruce Wilkinson looks like Russell Crowe.
And this is new zealand ? Sounds like what americans would do
Handled poorly, you completely fudged it, again, an oldie but goodie, follow the money, who's benefitting, ?
Time for a new GM Masse!
Take ‘em…. Denise
They both said the event was a bit of fun so that does insinuate that they didn't take it seriously. On that basis they wouldn't have been trying their best. If the organsiers felt the event was serious then that would become an issue. It would also become an issue if the organiser had it in for them beforehand and was looking for a reason to ban them. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. Small minded pool politics is rife all over the world and is the main reason I stopped playing competitively years ago.
Or did you stop because you realized you couldn't compete at a higher level. God hates quitters.
Match fixing is common. You get mroe money from it then winning
I promise you there is $0 being made on any of these games
This stinks..! Looks like total BS
I'll fix it
Match fixing pool? Come on embarassing asf
Herald story, has it been fact checked ?
It's been happening for years Kelvin
It was investigated by a senior investigative journalist - so yes, fact checked as much as it can be when one party says they have evidence but won't share it.
Your ip address is Australian why would you care
@BruceLee-df5ml because I'm a kiwi in NZ with a NZ internet provider you absolute 🔔 end. Why do you care?
@@BruceLee-df5ml and stalker vibe much?
Well, you guys are unfortunately playing in a small country where one pool club can ruin your career, or even just recreational play. Perhaps consider moving to another country that has a lot of professional pool.

defermation of carecter...get a lawyer and see what they have to say....
