Match Report v Crayford Social (home)

Post date: Apr 30, 2014 1:55:26 PM

Our last home game of the season. Although we have hardly left home for the last month as we kept drawing other Erith pool teams

We were also down to 5 as OSW was poorly.

Up first were Sherwood and Pinkie for Master8er's as normal. And i'm afraid the result were normal as well. 0-2 after Sherwood lost to Scot Shepard and Pinkie lost to Ross.

Mop up third and got the first point on the board for the home team. He was gifted 2 visits after Adam Hewson potted a white and one of mop's yellows when trying to open up some balls. Mop gratefully received and dished up.

Blaster v Gibbo next, and Gibbo had first shot at black. But it hit far knuckle of middle pocket and stayed up. Blaster cleared up his yellows but left it fine on black, and could not pot it either, leaving simple finish to Gibbo.

Rat brought as back to 1 behind with a controlled game v Dan.

Both teams picked again as both were at 5

Sherwood v Dan: allowed the home team to draw level. 3-3

Doubles and Mop/Blaster and Sherwood/Pinkie won the 1st two doubles to secure the win. But we failed to take the third double

Result: A win is a win but we have not scored big enough to challenge Halfways title lead. We have still a slight chance of title, if Halfway fail to win over Railway next week. But it is only a slight chance. Karen Bell side OSW and Mop are now equal top at 16 with Marc from Halfway. All three are through with probably Steve Smith (Oak B) if he can win next week
