South Park took the match on aggregate of the double-framed decider.

A fantastic win by Josie in the fourth frame to pull us back to 2-all.
With her original tutor Simon spilling his early break and threatening big things should he have managed to get the break back again, Josie pulled out a fantastic array of shots to stay on the table.
Under the Rules of the President's Cup, should the match reach a 2-all situation, the deciding leg is over 2 frames - an original idea, and a good one IMHO. The first leg was more or less even, but Trotter played a captain's innings in frame 2 to lead by 800 with the bar gone. Robbo, faced with a daunting task, pulled off a fantastic shot to the 200 off the back cushion and with the red still in play needed to find another couple of hundred from somewhere with three whites. But he eventually succumbed, which left a rather surprised South Park B the winners and a treasured place in the Final.

Frenches A 1 SPCC A 4

Alison Norman 1950 Laurie Roberts 6750
Sue Oakley 1800 Andy Finn 4890
Terry Oakley 2550 Vernon Sparkes 6910
Paul Wood 5250 DC 2100
Karl Tidy 1770 Silverfox :) 7990

So we have a South Park Final with the A`s coming through 4-1 Laurie with the break but Alison had her chances before a 5K break saw Laurie through. Sue pegged opener and Andy left the 1 up three or was it 4 times!! Vern made it safe with a solid performance, Terry not really finding it on the night. Paul played well and maybe DC out scored himself on Sunday. Silverfox rounded of a good night for South Park :)

See you in the Final Tommo ;)

All set for tonight then SilverFox ?

The battle lines are drawn up for our South Park 'A' v 'B' clash at the Flying Scud.

May the best team on the night win ! ;D

...............and the best team on the night wins the Cup.
Which just happened to be the same team who won the League with weeks to spare.

Well done tonight to the mighty A's for an awesome performance in securing a League and Cup double.

South Park CC B 2, South Park CC A 3 @flying Scud

Paul Trottman 4480, BigJimSilverFox ::) 8250
Dave Snashfold 9440, D.C. 9450
BB Reaper 1230, Vernon Sparkes 8810

and that - as they say - is how the cookie crumbled, the last two games being academic.

John Turner 4100, Dorsal Finn 830
tommo 3720, Lorry 2490

Entertaining last game: Laurie spent at least half the game pi$$ing about with extravagant trick shots and still nearly beat me !

Thanks for the lesson.
