I'm pleased to report
another 4-1 victory last night against Cadbury's.
Dave Thomas won his first game too! The
draw worked out well for him, drawing their worst player, who has only won
one game all season himself. Paul was refereeing his game and he was getting
more nervous in this match than in his own game!!! Dave was ahead for the
whole game and when it was down to the colours, his opponent needed one
snooker. However, he managed to get one and we thought Dave might throw it
away - but he kept his cool and potted green and brown for victory.
Mark had a good game and dominated it
with a couple of 40 breaks, coming out an easy winner 96 -1.
Alan had his chances in his frame but
failed to take them and lost to probably their best player.
Paul's game was pretty close and if
truth be told, he had the run of the balls which probably made the
difference. Even then, he almost managed to lose it at the end. His opponent
went in off the green - Paul potted green and brown, but slightly under
screwed, leaving himself a thinner cut on the blue than he would have liked.
He made the mistake of trying to stay on the pink and left the cue ball
short in the jaws of the middle pocket. His opponent potted the blue and was
in pretty good shape on the pink, but wobbled it in the jaws.
It came away from the pocket to leave
another thin cut, but this time Paul managed to sink it.
Stuart also dominated his match and
probably should have made a decent break, but through bad luck or running
slightly out of position, he could not manage it.
Overall though, a 4-1 victory is a
good result.
