Match report v Oak B away

Post date: May 8, 2014 2:47:47 PM

We could still win league in this final match, we needed a big score to have any chance if Halfway failed to win at home v Railway

This soon became apparent this was ging t happen. Our starting 2 misfired again.. Sherwood losing to inform Steve Smith, who qualified for Karen Bell with this win. TBH didn't help when Sherwood fired the ball off the table with his break and failed to get out of a snooker in his next visit! .

Pinkie lost the advantage in his frame when he went in/off getting out a simple snooker. Although it was a good dish to clear up with the 2 shots.

Mop up next and his opponent went all guns firing from the break and failed to pot his last colour. A few pots and and simple snooker later led to mop getting clearing to get top spot in Karen Bell

Blaster followed suit to win next frame to make it 2-2 and the Rat made it 3

OSW picked Aaron to play again as Oak only had 5. Aaron was fired up for this frame and beat OSW

3-3

Only doubles winners to play for as we could not win enough frames to win league.

Didn't start well here. As Pinkie/Sherwood combo still weren't firing as they lost first.

Mop/Blaster v Dave/Steve S was a good match. Mop got first chance to go for it, got striaght on black but with only half a pocket to sneak though. He failed to get it, as it snicked the yellow before pocket. Leaving a simple finish to Steve S. But no Steve failed to pot black leaving black in pocket for Blaster to win.

4:4

All down to last frame. Glen/Rat left picking down to Captain for second player from Oak B. A strange choice by Pinkie was Steve Smith... Everyone was a little miffed by this choice. Perhaps it was reverse psychology by Pinkie.. Which i'm afraid it didn't work as Steve Smith dished up a tricky clearance.. ummmm

Result: 4:5 loss to finish the season! Not the best team performance ever with added strange choices to boot. Perhaps pool fatigue set in.. I don tknow. We need to get over this and regroup for finals coming up.

Still to play
