A pool competition with a difference was held at the Big Boys' Toys show at ASB Showgrounds today.

Warriors Shaun Johnson and Manu Vatuvei, and snooker legend, Dene O'Kane, played pool on a giant 6m X 3m lawn pool against one of the top female pool stars Ewa Mataya Laurance, known as The Striking Viking.

Punters have also had the chance to participate in competitive heats throughout the weekend, counting down to the exciting finale between one lucky competitor and The Striking Viking herself that will take place on Sunday as part of the Mother Fuelled Backyard Pool Challenge.
