Match Report v Village Inn (Home)

Post date: Nov 25, 2015 4:15:52 PM

I apologise for missed match report last week. Wasnt a great performance by us and it turned into a 7-2 loss at the tough Running Horse table. We didn't play well or have much luck. (Black in off by Kev in first frame summed it up.) they played well and table made it a bit of a lottery on some shots.

On to last nights game.

A tough match v 2nd placed Village Inn.

Pinkie up first on his worst run of defeats since the start of time.. Or since he started playing pool which was about the same time as the dinosaurs ruled the earth.

Pinkie v Steve Elison. Pinkie got a chance to win and nerves could be seen, but he held it together to clinch the win and first point on the board for Erith.

Congrats to player number 2 having his baby number 2. Steve Marsters.

On to game number 2 is obviously good as it created point number 2 for Erith as well v Steve H. Although Blaster did try to stop that by snookering himself on the black.. But a good escape and snooker set up the win

Win number 3 came from in form Sherwood v Steve number 3. (Ellison) Was actually more Steve's fault as he planted the black with one of his yellows.. :(

Mop v Dip next. Dip had table advantage from Mop's dry break., but he failed to convert to a win and Mop slowly got back into the frame and took out a good finish 4:0

A great start but a tactical frame by Jim v Rat turned the match and got Village's first win. Jim played well.

OSW picked a steve to play again but Elison made up for his planted black earlier and took out a nice finish.

Mop/Pinkie v Jim /Elison. Mop went for finish but black was never really open. A couple of chances sliped by for village pairing letting Pinkie pot a good long black to seal the win. 5-2

Last 2 doubles both went to Village for them to get to 4.

Result: 5-4 win to Erith D. Which v a great in-form team v Village is a good result. but after being 4:0 up it seems a bad result. But another home win is always good ...

Quote of night: "I bet Kev is happy to get the monkey of his back.... "

Shot fo the night.. Kevs long balck in doubles to seal win and get his first doubles W of the league season!
