Match Report v Woolwich CC

Post date: Jun 19, 2009 11:50:20 AM

After a quick rub down of the table. Thanks Naf.. (It was a bit chalk dusty!) the game was started...

The 2 Pauls (Wobbly then Mop) started and lost their first games.. John started the Harry winning after Adam's break set John up nicely which he took through to the win. Pinkie was gifted the game after he tempted his opponent into potting the black and white..

All square at 2-2 which lead to a One Season Wonder (OSW=Glen) v Craig battle for first set. (It transpired this was the 1st of 3 match ups!)

Craig took the frame/set albiet not in the form we normally expect from him.

2nd set was won by Woolwich CC in the 4th frame with only Pinkie winning his game for the Harry dogs in the first frame. Adam pulled off an excellent 6 ball clearence to win his for WoolwichCC. And the last set was another battle of OSW v Craig. This time OSW pulled off the win to make second set 2-3 again.

0-2 down but as we were only 4-6 down in frames, a good last set could salvage some points..

John started the set of with a win v Naf, followed by Wobbly beating Gary S and OSW taking the third frame off a very offsorts Craig.

Set won and if we took one more frame we would get to the elusive 8 frames to take night win.

Mop up next in his new lucky pool pants.. (see below!) Although they were not that lucky, as so far as he had lost 2!

But they pulled him through this time, to take the set win and the extra bonus point. Last frame saw Adam stopping Pinkie getting the clean sweep :)

RESULT: 1-2 set loss but a 8-7 frame win! A few player not firing (Craig/Mop) lead to a close match up.

Hightlight of night: Nothing that special in pool. (although a good clearence by Adam in the second!). So Dave's excellent Chilli and Chips gets the vote :)

The not so lucky pants...
