Match Report v Village Inn

Post date: Sep 30, 2010 8:21:05 AM

2nd Ivor Thomas match was against our good firends Village Inn. We know the team well, as 3 of them are signed up for us on thursdays team. And we played 2 friendlies in the past month!

Home advantage for us so Village Inn get to pick who plays who..

Wobbly up first again, and was looking good. He got down to last yellow and looked like a simple clearence.. But he fluffed the chance and let long haired Steve back in. Steve got 2 shots from a snooker but could not clear with it as he missed the black, Wobbly had a second chance which he took. This style of game would be repeated a few times!

Mop/Jim game was the same. Mop went for game after tough tactics game, missed the chance, Jim got 2 shots but failed to pot black. Mop did..

Rocket Ryan managed to overcome his nemesis player Dave Faulkes, Rocket took a good finish when he got the chance. 3-0 up. A very good start for the master8'ers..

Our John was unable to beat his namesake John. Thats twice John has played a John, is that going to be a theme for the whole year for him.. 3-1

Glen and Postie both had the same game as Mop/Wobbly did. Village players Steve and Tommy both failed on the blacks leaving simple finishes for Erith Snooker Master8'ers.

5-1 up again after singles

Doubles not as good, only a good double black by Mop scored a win in last 3 games.

Result: 6:3 win. More a gifted win from Village Inn with their 4 missed blacks, but we captilised well when given chance.
