Match report v pickwick

Post date: Dec 10, 2010 4:25:52 PM

Cup KO time was upon us. And we had a tough draw versus the Elite Div leaders at one of the tougher away venues.

Could we live up to the leaders??

Mop started well with a win in well fought battle with Dean

Kev played Grimsby and failed to get position on last ball, a snooker and missed escaped allowed Grimbsy to clear with is 2 shots. This would be a familair pattern to frames of the night.

Another win by in form Rocket and loses by John and Steve. (Steve had 2 black pot attempts that on another day he might of taken)

But was v slow going. First set of 5 games took over 2 hours!

3-2 down

Was a downward slide in second set, with only Glen pulling out a good win v Gafa.

7-3 down :(

Wobbly tried a good cleaerence and got down to a long stright black, but failed to get it, leaving Grimsby in the same position for a thrid time, of going round and clearing his full set of yellows and taking the win.

Result: 8:3 A poor result, We didn't lose on potting abaility but on mental side of pool tonight. Too kamikazee on going for the win, once on top we need to control the table and get to a poition of a high percentage of taking the clearence out. Too many times we got stuck on the black and let the game slip away. Hopefully some of us learnt that from the match.
