Match report v Rack pack away

Post date: Sep 30, 2011 1:14:46 PM

First game in SLKPA premier league and it started well.

Captain Power fell on his sword (well Martin actually did the stabbing!) as his name was picked and Power was dropped from opening 5.

But it looked a good pick as Wobbly, Rat and then Rocket won their opening games. Glen stepped up next and broke and didn't stop potting. He produced a well controlled break dish..Let's start a break dish counter for the season.

Mop up next and looked good as he got down to a half distance black. But somehow decided not to make it 5 wins with a bad miss. And you dont get many other chances v Nick from Rack pack.

4-1 first set. Mop's black miss seemed to spread to his team mates, the tide had turned. Rocket and the Rat missed some simple chances. Only Glen manged to secure a win in the second set.

1-4 and now 5-5

We were still producing some bad misses and the Rack Pack stepped up the pressure as good teams do. Last set was the same again for us with only Mop winning the last frame

1-4

Result: How quickly a pool mactch can turn. It was looking like a walk in the park, but step of the gas a little and you lose the momentum. Hopefully a lesson learnt and a wake up call for the Master8ers early season.
