Match Report v Halfway House

Post date: Oct 29, 2009 11:45:09 AM

A match up for 2 teams down the wrong end of the table. Both not had the greatest of starts with a 1-3 record so far

Halfway started the brightest going 2-0 up. With Bert pulling no punches in his demolishing of Mop. Third game looked to be going the same way with Pinikie not playing well. But when it mattered, a masterful escape and snooker on the black tuned the match to his favour and he potted a fine cut to win game. Perhaps it was the dog running off with his case that spurred him on!

This turned the tide towards the Harry although not great pool played by either side. Harry won the next 3 to go 4-2 up at end of singles.

One doubles required for th ewin but he Halfway were not giving up. Halfway won the first 2 with some strongplay. Mop/John paired in the last 2 with Steve and Mark. Harry were on top most of the game, with John failing to take the game several times. With the black at his mercy he left it hanging over the pocket. This left a double for the last yellow for a halfway night win, but luckily the harry team got away with it as the double went wide..

Harry win their second game, 5-4.. Close thought match and neither team really showed much title challenging form. But it's still early! and going to be a close season i feel.
