Match report v Royal Oak Team KO

Post date: Mar 15, 2012 9:47:27 AM

Off to probabbly our nemesis team team at the moment. We lost to them 3 times last year and currently we are now 2 from 2 losses.

It is normally us that takes off in to the lead first and this was no different. Captain Power was lucky to get another bite at the cherry after Mike looked like he couldnt miss. Mop moppped up on his second visit as the balls were nice and inviting for the dish..

2-0

Then pegged back to 2-2 with Clements and Phil winning for Oak

Mark Hill made it 3-2 to Oak but last game John Cochrane gifted an easy finish to us to make it 3-3

Doubles Mop and CP won after Clements and Mike could not pot the black leaving Master8ers to control frame and win.

We needed one more and it looked like it was all over, 2 shots and 2 easy balls left for OSW. A rattled pocket lost one shot and black to middle for night win! No front knuckle and that was missed. It fell safe but we did not count on a very good long pot and then a long double from John Cochrane who won the frame 3-3

Last frame it looked good but tactics were our downfall and the game was lost.

Result: 5-4 Loss. As close to the win as you can get! But not enough self belief this year lost it for us
