Match report v Royal Oak A (home)

Post date: Oct 28, 2015 12:56:48 PM

Very tough match up playing current run away league leaders Oak A.

Up first our beleaguered captain Pinkie v Woody I mean Paul. Pinkie had first opportunity to dish but a bad miss to middle let him down. Woody got upper hand of table and it was over. Which was a theme of the night. 0-1

Dave Avery looked to have beaten Proper Kev but a bad shot and missed black cost him dear. Proper Kev cleared very well and kept his 100% singles record with 2 from 2 starts 1-1

In form Sherwood v JK. Potters paradise and the game was short lived and Oak got back in lead with a JK win. 1-2

Mop v Mark next. A good break from Mark and yellows were open. Mark went for dish but black unluckily went safe on second to last yellow clearence which stopped break and dish. Mop got a few reds out and snookered which eventually led to a finish. 2-2

100%ers up next. Both Rat for Erith 4/4 and Oaks Phil 5/5 were unbeaten this season. One record was going to be broken. Rat kept his after Phil tried to go for clearance but failed leading to Rat taking out his.

JC was off ill for Oak. So OSW picked JK to play again. Tough call as JK had won earlier. But it was a good call as OSW got Erith D up to 4.

4-2 singles.

Up first Mop/Pinkie. Pinkies bad luck continued as an in-off cost Erith pair dear as Woody and Dave potted an easy black with 2 visits.

Proper Kev was on form and some good potting got him and OSW over the finishing line v Mark and Phil.

The 2 Johns last won as Rat produced a sublime finish to get a 6-3 win.

Result: A good home performance was needed and we played well to beat a very good in form Oak team. Still chasing, but league is close this season and i think there will be about 4/5 team looking for title this season. This early win was needed to keep in that group. All to play for.
