match report v Life of Rileys

Post date: Nov 12, 2010 3:19:15 PM

Off to Woolwich Rileys to play new team Life of Rileys. (Good name)

We were hoping for a good score here to catch up with Bellgrove social who are above us.

First set started well, with only John losing to a good clearence by his opponent in the first set of 5.

Second set was 1 better. Wobbly was drafted in for the dropped John. And a clean sweep of frames for the team 5/5.

By now the cold had set in though. The lack of properly fitting windows at Rileys was starting to effect the room temperature on a cold windy November night! A quick picture of the table in the corner shows the scale of the problem. Is there SLKPA rules for room temperature?? I shall check

So 9-1 up and looking good but shivery.. But it was not to be. We started to drop a few in the last and only came out with 2 of the last 5. Perhaps the cold or perhaps just the drink!

Result: 11:4 was a respectible win. But we didnt catch up any points on Bellgrove Social as they came away here with a 13:2. Clean sweeps for moppy with a 3 out of 3 and Wobbly with a 3 out of 3.
