At that stage I thought that it was game over and I had lost....
.... but I then remembered SirKT pulling out a fantastic victory in the county championships a few years ago by potting balls off the side cushion into the 200 hole to beat Pete Sainsbury so I had another look at where the balls were on the table. I managed to flick the ball nearest the 50 hole into the pocket and took the cue ball off the back cushion into the 100 hole. That just meant that I had to get the last 2 into the 200 hole to win.... 
After moving a bit of furniture around to look at the angles, I decided that if I tried to go off the side cushion and pot the object ball into the 200 hole there was a good chance that the cue ball would go into the 50 hole so the only option was off the side cushion and go in-off with the cue ball.... somehow that worked although I would probably miss it 99 times out of 100 if I tried to repeat it!
The last ball nearly missed the 200 hole, just catching the back edge of the pocket and dropping in to give me the win.... Martin & I have always had some very close games and I will certainly remember this one for a long time.
