Billingshurst  Mens singles semi finals played at the Cricketers. 

Semi 1
Dave Howlett   1   Keith Newman   2

Keith to break first starting ok till a forced 50 spun out . Numerous goes each with not much happening ensued and with
Not much time left 2k each. Eventually a slice of luck and Twig got the balls back and pinched it.

Frame 2 and Twig off early gave Noggs his chance and he Made full use of it with a 3k break. Game then got bogged down 
At the top. Plenty of goes till Twig got them back but all too late.  1-1

Deciding leg 3 with Noggs to start. A really steady fine opening break of 3k+ put him in control. Level breaks and Twig found 
His Rythem .Finding the split and playing well he had just overtaken Noggs score when disaster struck. A tight one up the
Middle, knowing the top rolled a bit, but too close and black peg was over. Noggs in the driving seat but one last rally from 
Twig made it close but not enough. 

Semi 2
John Slee   2    Lee Cable   0
I called right and put Moose in. Similar to Noggs all OK till a 50 spun out. Again plenty of goes and a few pegs till I cleared 
The balls. My chance I thought but going ok till a split slid by and off. With both of us struggling I got one last chance and
Ncked it.
Second leg and my break eventually got my act together and 3k+break gave  me a good start. Top of the table pretty awkward 
Meant we were both making mistakes. Clearing the top with 1500 took me to 5k but poor shot and Off. Moose next to get
Them back and a cracking break to the Bar left him a few hundred short. Phew

A Good night at the Cricks with good friends .Supported by Billy, Boycie and Clacky. Always tough playing mates when there
Has to be a loser.  Thanks to the Cricks for hosting us and the sausage and dips.
