Match report v Runners (Home)
Post date: Mar 24, 2016 10:57:40 AM
Home game for us. And a must win to keep pressure on Oak/Crayford for title race.
Up first v Moppy. V Simon D. (Simon always picks to play me and we have a good atacking battle). Mop to break and nice open break, not going to be long this frame. Mop gets a good chance and clears well down to black, but misses an eas'ish half table black! Ouch... Simon dishes very well to black but also misses. Mop fails to take 2nd chance too! Was still a little rattled by first black miss! Simon takes black this time! 0-1
Pinkie up against another of his nemesis players Phil. (How many does Pinkie have!) Pinkie on front foot after good break, a couple of misses by Phil and Pinkie slots in a cut to middle. 1-1.. "It's not a game of chess" comment by Phil afterwards was a little wierd as there was no snookers by either players!
Sherwood v Mick. Mick had good chance to dish up, but a bad miss cost him, as Sherwoods potting game is on form and he dished up. 2-1
Blaster v Gurbs (Paul W name sake). Was a nervous game with a few misses. Gurbs crossed line first 2-2
Rat up next. See you tube vid of one of Rats earlier games in the 80's....
But Rat is new on form player for Erith. Recorded his 6th win in a row. 3-2
OSW failed to take last v Brendon so all square into Doubles. 3-3
Mop made up for his failure in singles, and took out decent finish when Phil went in-off
Pinkie's new good form got us the 2nd doubles and night win.
The 2 Johns were a little nevous in last frame and wanted an easy chance. They waited too long and Mick pulled off 2 lovely doubles to nick the frame.
Result: 5-4 win. a win is a win as they say. More points were probably needed for title challenge but a loss would of been a killer. Just need to win the last 4 to put some pressure on Oak who have game in hand over us.
