Match report - Crayford rugrats (home)
Post date: Sep 17, 2014 2:11:42 PM
After a nice long break of pool and reports we start again for a new season!
Season has some change of personnel.
OUT
Stephen 'Blaster' Marsters - Off for a season loan to the Frank Smith League playing for Falconwood club.
IN
Proper Kev - Owns the Erith Snooker Club. always handy ;)
Sladey - John Slade. Local pool mercenary as back up player. Could be very helpful addition
Match started with Pinkie v Gibbo. Bit of a role reversal here. It was Pinkie out potting the gibbo to start with.. But Pinkie got stuck on last colur and Gibbo then entered tactics mode to gain advantage and win.
Mop up next v Aaron. Dry break by Mop gave Aaron choice of colours, but he didn't make it pay and Mop turned the advantage around and got the win. His 10th straight singles win in the league...
Sherwood gave 2 shots away when trying to dish from break. Ross from Crayford took out his colours and black well with the 2 visits.
New boy Proper Kev pulled off a lovely finish v Scot. Proved he will be a valuable addition to the team.
Rat lost after he got stuck on last ball like Pinkie. Couple of snookers later and an easy finish for Gavin.
Mark Bell and Karen Miles winner Glen didn't get off to a great start. He met an in-form Dan Lovett who potted everything. Well jawed the black... But he escaped and potted a very tough shot next visit to make up for that...
2-4 down. Not a good start
But we showed some fighting spirit in Doubles. Mop should of cleared on his first visit but left a tight rail shot to get to the black. Few snookers later and Pinkie pulled off a lovely escape and snooker. Ross failed to get out of it and it was a simple finish for the Mop
OSW/Rat should of lost as Scot had simple black to win frame and night. But somehow missed it! I don't think we will see a bigger miss all season! Thanks Scot
4-4 but the tide had turned. Proper Kev and Sherwood eased past the finish line for shocking win
Result: 5:4 win. How we escaped with a win I have no idea. Very rusty performance. We need to improve to challenge for the title. Proper Kev played well and Mop was very solid.
Man of Match: Close call between Dan (Crayford) or Proper Kev. But would go for Proper Kev as he won in both singles and doubles.
