Wonderful game between the Pinks at home and Maypole B. Excellent value for money - 5 visits to the table over 2 games - cost me £2.00 Bargain 40pence per visit. Although we scored well as a team, hats off to veterans Martin and Bill. They were true valued players of the league tonight who didn't embarrass us........ much.......!!"!"!!

[Lord Cheeky]

So what was the score Nick!!

A teaser for yers.

Guess which team, with a ful complement of chaps and chapesses, playing against opposition being one stick short on the night, still barely managed to scrape home??

Answers on a postcard? Nah! 'twas us! 4 - 2 the result.

Despite that, and despite the morgue-like atmosphere in the Railway these days (change of venue anyone??) the evening was a scream.

We have all, and I mean all, down the years made a comment or three about Mr Malc from the Woodies and the speed at which he plays... Zzzzzzzzzzzz The fact is, that he plays up to it! It's open season folks - Malc was, on more than one occasion, the first to comment on his style of play. All in good fun, plenty of laughs.

I may have set a league precendent last night too - while playing in the doubles I witnessed Tiny fluke one in the 100 and promptly invited him to step outside and join with me in a discussion about the manner in which he was scoring the points!

He's twice my height and a long walk around to boot. I had, I confess, no intention of actually following him outside - it was devilish cold out there. Can I claim to be the first person in the league to have challenged him to a duel? Pointless really, as Iwould need a chair to stand on simply to look him in the eye and slap him with the gauntlet!!



One further thing. The team has been missing Keir Williams for some time now; I and all of you out there will be missing him too and I guess he misses us!

Given the season, your thoughts and best wishes would be most welcome and can be conveyed via Malcolm & the team - or Dave Rance & myself as we do hope to catch up with the man in question very soon. He is a true gent, not one to complain about his lot and one for smiling through adversity. Give him a wave!

Mr Cheeky. Its not the scoring that counts it the taking part... We lost 4-2

[ob1]

may i add it was a night of losing nreaks for us, BRG losing a 2.5k break before managing to get another 2K break to win. He has a big score coming soon so be warned. Then Her Royal Pinkness, not getting downhearted by the profficient Mr Whale scoring heavily, got over 1200 points before the bar went, and in trying to save herself a £1 to the pig pegged it. All were gutted.

Must echo VPL's sentiments in that it was a great night despite the scoreline, and if the highest home and away breaks are not made on our new top, I will put £20 in the pig!

[BFG]

I could not agree more!

No doubt at all that HRP is sooooooooo close!! Some of her shots in that last break were top drawer!! Gutted she lost it, game was lost at the break but keeping it would have done her so much good and her average over target, looking forward to being there when it all comes together!

Dont remember losing a break like that and coming back to get another one, still dont remember what the point of that last shot was all about!!!! Sure you will remind me on Sunday OBI 1!

I will join you in that £20 stuff but what do we get if we are right??? sorry why did I say if?

Think maybe we should just savour a bottle of Gosset in a complacent Knew it kind of way!!! We can do that easy!!

[BFG]

well having watched nipper put up his first 10k break tonight I am pretty sure we should put the Gosset on ice!!

First 10k total last Sunday then 10k break that table is set for big scores!!!!! :o

[Duncan Disorderly]

Nice one Martin but did you manage to hold it?

[Lord Cheeky]

Was it a match or practice? and well donre the first of many i hope.

[BFG]

He did hold both, they were both practice. The total score he could have kept going but for me telling him to roll up so it could go on the board! Typical 1st time and he did it against me!!
::)
The break had a few challenges not sure he would have kept going in a match but great to watch the way he got out of the sticky stuff! :D

Incidentally what table was that on?

[Lord Cheeky]

Hi Dunc i think the woolie have a new table ???

[yorkshireterrier]

Do I detect a serious challenge materialising for the knockout weekend. It's great that a new talent is emerging and I predict a new name on a singles trophy fairly soon. I can remember my first 10k break (back in 1971) which took the Andover division 2 high break trophy, which I still have to this day. Well done Martin, now translate that to a league break.

That would certainly explain it (takeing nothing away from Martin) I will find out for sure Wednesday :)

[BFG]

it is indeed a complete new top on the old table.
When we thought we could see the slate we thought it about time!

[TTO]

HELP PLEASE ;D
Where is the shop that sells all the bar billiards stuff, as me and HRP want to go their?

[Lord Cheeky]

Haven't got a clue back its nice to have you back TTO where you been!!

[TTO]

Haven't played for a while so had nothing to write :'(

[Lord Cheeky]

Poor you where are you playing wednesday night with the 'Girlies'

[TTO]

We are at the Maypole

[Duncan Disorderly]

The Maypole table is fairly straight but if its cold in there which it normally is it will be slow and the cushions will be dead, & Simon Mills doesn't like the top at all.

[nipper]

thanks for the gongrats and didn't take long to guess lol indeed woolie new top and love it plays like a dream. hope so too dunc lol see you wednesday for the steaders oh and don't worry al won't get that for lil while yet ;)

[hon Vice President]

Nonsense Junior; you'll be a welcome challenger to the old gits come March - Hitting points is a must - but then, so is focus. Dunc knows all about focus, Coddy has the shots, but the attention span of a bowl of goldfish! If you get me drift. I'd rather watch The Codster, because you never know what's going to happen next, and he's supremely entertaining - but I'd be more likely to back Dunc over three legs.

Play your game, nobody elses, your shots and talk yourself out of trouble. Show no emotion - Mr H and Mr Shaw; when did you see either of them lose it?? Go for it. no matter who you play, they can only score when you are not. ;)

[Duncan Disorderly]

Very well put Mr A & thanks for your vote of confidence, its true to say Martin is the brightest young talent we"ve seen for many a year let's hope he can keep his feet on the ground he can only get better with age, I'm defiantly looking forward to trying out this new Woolie top!
