Hi Joe, bearing in mind that Storm Ciaran is due to hit the south coast on Thursday with an amber warning for potential wind gusts of 85mph from 6am until 8pm that day, is there a reserve date for these to be played or a "play-by" date in case some of these games need to be postponed? Dave

[neilh]

I hope there is no Pool match at the Old House on Thursday, as the table will not be available if there is.

Hi Dave, If games want to be re arranged that is fine long as I can be informed, Please can all matches be played before 4th December.

[bigtj]

Please let the venues know if you are postponing games and remember to book the table for the rearranged game, thanks

Assume that as Pete or Molly are there on Wednesdays they can check out and report back to Joe.

[bigtj]

Yes Pete there today and he is the one playing there, spoke to him last night and he will check

No pool match at The Old House

I have postponed my Singles match against Tupps tonight and looking to play on 16th

Ian Cross Vs Dave Ingram @ Henty 8:30pm

My game with Ian has also been postponed tonight.

Venue has been notified and table re-booked to be played on Monday 6th November at 7pm. 

[therealmc]

Martin Smith beat Bob Hall 2-1 at The Alex this evening.

Both players needed second visits in all three games to settle into a rhythm but generally the table played well.

Just as well I mentioned the Worthing Masters & Off The Spot as I’d not seen any news and I now understand that neither are happening this weekend.

[ozzie]

Phil Oakley and Gary Ridley beat me and Tupps
2-0 in the Worthing doubles good luck to them
in the next round.
Regards PO

I beat Ian 2-1 in what could best be described (if you were feeling very kind) as a very scrappy match tonight.

Many chances for both of us in all 3 legs with us finding all sorts of interesting and different ways to come off the table and I continued my love (to) hate relationship with it, including putting the break down 4 times to end a (very near) match winning 6k+ break in the decider.... I think that's a first ever time for me.

Luckily for me, Ian did not take advantage of the opportunities he had and allowed me to scrape over the line. A big thank you to Kevin Charlton for scoring the games for us, he ended up looking almost as confused about what had happened as the two players....

Old House at Home 2 - 3 Alexandra

Game 3 was played first as Old House 1st player was going to be a tad late. Paul Barnett 1750 - 1370 Pete Hickman *. Pete off early, Barney 1.3k break and then lost 3k+ break but held his lead throughout and Pete not making any inroads 1 - 0.


Game 2 Ros Appleby * 1520 - 7250 Dave Ingram. Ros caught by left hand roll and off early, Dave 2 breaks to secure the win. 1 - 1.

Game 1 Derek Taylor 2690 - 6210 James Whittle *. James off at 1k+, Derek replied with around 1k as well, James then 2 breaks to put the game out of reach. 1 - 2.

Game 4 Neil Higgins * 9000 - 390 Tony Jenner. Neil off early but TJ unable to get the break back, Neil added around 4k and TJ pushing to get the break back went for a 3 ball shot, two down, third spun and took the peg leaving the ball on the spot giving Neil the break back to make sure, a great leg from Neil 2 - 2.

Game 5 and Rick Cunningham won the toss and put Gary Ridley in. Gary settled well and made a near faultless 8k before having one stick close to the left hand cushion shy of the 50 hole and unluckily had a kiss leaving a ball each side of the 50 so off at 8380. Rick then set off on the chase having to pull the bar again and also having to contend with a few numpties walking behind him without any consideration, but Rick stuck to his task and touched on 8470 to secure the win for the Alexandra.

A great night played in good spirits with some gentle banter, good support from both teams for their players and a great game to decide the game. Thank you to the Blue Anchor for supplying us with pizzas and french fries.

Dan & Chris beat Nigel & Matt 2-0 in the doubles on a very good tarring top.

I beat Tupps 2-0 in the Singles last night. Thanks to KT for scoring
