It was a strange night
against Rubery in the cup - we won three of the five frames but still lost
the match. Alan Carter was drawn against Carl Rose, one of their best
players and beat him fairly comfortably, albeit he did have a decent run of
the balls it has to be said. On the other hand, Stuart Watson drew Lennie
Drummond and lost by 16!
Basically, we were 23 ahead going into the final match with Luke up against
Jock Irvine. Luke started nicely, but Jock came back into it. Both of them
potted some nice balls, but no-one could put in a conclusive break and it
was all down to the last five colours. Luke was snookered on the green,
escaped pretty well, but left Jock a straight long pot, which he got and
then cleared the remaining colours off their spots to seal victory.
Paul Haywood had a close match and just
managed to get over the winning line by three points (60-57) while Mark
Sutton had an even closer one, winning by just two points (66-64)!
Next week we are at home to Perfection
back in the league matches, so hopefully we can win that one comfortably and
put ourselves on the fringes of the top few teams.
