The eagaly awaited match was here..
Pinkie started the battle off twith a loss, poor shot choice at end game left an east game take for the Oak
Darren (Fagan) was matched with Paul Clements. A bad first shot by Fagan left the game open for Paul with 2 shots. Paul got down to the black with 2 and somehow snookered himself when trying to promote the black to potable position. Game balance swung now and Darren took his advantage to the winning line.
Mop up next v Mike. Mike played well but got stuck on black leading to similiar pot/tuck up game by Mop who just sneaked the win. 2-1 Harry
John kept his 100% win record with a close fought battle 3-1
Wobbly first game of season and as a dad! This time wobbly got stuck on black, leading to win by Oak. Certainly a pattern emerging here! Dont get stuck on black!
OSW lost his game and his first this season! to a fine finish by Oak
3-3 all to play for in doubles
John/Rocket first. They looked likely to have a win when presented with 2 shots when they forced a foul out of Paul/Mike. But Johns first shot went right through the bunch of yellows and found the middle pocket. Game over 4-3 to Oak
Darren/Mop won the second doubles, but only after John from Oak thought he had three shots after a foul! Might be drink affecting judgement there!
4-4. Last game decider.. Which went down to a nail biting finish. Great to watch! after good safety exchanges a double kiss on attempted double left the game for Phil from Oak to finish with an easy black. Night lost 5-4. but a good night of pool
