Match Report v Hotshots (away)

Post date: Jul 3, 2009 1:38:54 PM

Last trip to Lewisham for the season. One day we will get there without getting lost!

We might a well stayed lost for the first few games, as the Hotshots had a point to prove as they lost 0-3 last week..

Pinkie up first, broke nothing down, his game was over! As Mark pulled of a solid dish on his first visit.

Rocket next and managed 5 balls better, but still went the same way as pinkie.. 0-2

Mop v Rod. Nothing down on Mops break. Rod looked to have cleared on his first visit, but somehow missed a sitter on the last red. A mop pot then snooker. This led to Rod playing an exquisite masse to escape, that not only hit but also potted his last red and left a perfect black to take win and set!

Wobbly then lost to Rob

OSW (Glen) on last, played an excellent finish when gifted 2 shots by Steve, and stopped a whitewash of a set.. phew

1-4

2nd set very similair to first. With same order from both and exactly same wins/losses!

Differences were. Pinkie almost did reverse of his first game v Mark. But just failed to pot last red on 1st visit. But lost to a good clearence by Mark again.

Mop didn't even get a shot this time v Rod! As Rod broke and dished. His use of side spin & postion was a joy to watch.

1-4

A set order change was required! As the dogs were getting bored of losing to the same ppl. (apart from OSW!)

So Rocket lost to Mark this time. Rocket started well but crumbled like a flake at the end game.

But Wobbly decided it was time to pull of a good clearence, and produced a good win v Lee. 1-1

OSW got Rod this time. It looked all set to Rod when given 2 shot by OSW. But a bad postional shot on his last red, meant he left himself snookered which he failed to escape out of. OSW with 2 and all pottable. But OSW failed to produce and lost.

Pinkie to play Rob to draw 3rd set level. Pinikie had some good chances to win but failed to produce. set lost. 3-1

Mop up last, and was happy to play someone different! Mop pulled of a good 6 ball clearence to beat Chris at the end of the night.

2-3

Result: Sets 0-3 and 4-11 frames.

MOM: Hoshots: Rob, Mark and Rod won all three of their games. With Rod and Mark playing almost perfect games. OSW played very well and was one good shot away from winning 3.
