Match Report versus Halway House (away)

Post date: Jan 7, 2009 10:21:22 AM

2nd half season started with a hard away draw versus league leader Halfway house. The Harry team were looking for a better performance in the 2nd half of the season after poor display in most of the key matches in the 1st half season.

A match always has 2 sides of a report! Go here to read Halfway Houses report on their excellent web site.

Mop up first versus Andy. Mop had several chances to take the win in style, but decided to limp over the line after scandering several chances and leaving Andy a chance to clear.

Pinkie up second versus Mark. With Mark in control of the game, Pinkie was in defensive mode and played it very well, escaping several snookers and leaving no eassy out for Mark. When Pinkie was offered a chance due to a foul by Mark, Pinkie cleared to win and ground out a good win. 2-0

Rocket Ryan got paired with Bert again. Bert got his nose ahead and didn't really look back apart for a simple missed black. But Rocket failed to captilise on it. 2-1

Wobbly up next v Seep. After a foul break by Wobbly that was gratiously ignored. Wobbly was in trouble most of the game, but managed a very good clearence with a half chance offered to take the win in style. 3-1

John v Steve. John had first chance to win with 2 shots and a good opurtunity to win. A wasted shot early on led to John having a hard black to finish. A missed black led to game control swinging to Steve who took the initiative and took it over teh finishing line. 3-2

Glen up last versus Pete. Game swung both ways several times! Pete having the several half oppurtunites to take the win but they were spurned. A long pot by Glen led to a very good finish. 4-2 after the singles.

Doubles were all tight games, but basically Harry teams took their clearance chances well 2 of the 3 games. With Wobbly taking out another good finish in the last game to make it 6-3 to Harry and revenge for the first game of the season. And a good win over the league leaders.

After Posties Keiths poor display in the doubles. Pinkie dished out the traditional punishment of a Sausage Roll down the back of the shirt...

Harry seem to play better away from home! And have all the 'harder teams' left away to play. Harry team are too far behind to really win the league. But they have the fire power to upset any team and look to cause some mayhem at the top of the table. ;)

Player of the night: Wobbly with 2 stunning clearences. He's back...

Shot of the night: Pete (Halfway). A 2 cushion snooker escape that didn't leave Glen on to win match when it look inevitable. A bit of luck was needed though.
