Result from match at the Gardeners, Three Horseshoes 3 Schooner 2, plan A worked for the Schooner going 2-0 up, but even reverting to plan B could not stop a good fight back from the Shoes to prevail.

Game One. Bill ( steady one ) Kerr break against Kevin ( the reaper) Hall. Bill opened with 4k, and no matter what he tried Kevin couldn`t get break back. Bill built on his lead to run out winner 1180 - 7900.

Game Two. Stuart ( choccie ) Mepham break against Tony ( keep battling) Jenner. Stuart off at just over 1k, TJ off at 5k, then Tj steadily built on lead to put Schooner 2 up. 1610 - 8710.

Game Three. Steve ( greasy pole ) Aylmore break against Ian ( been there, done it ) Lelliott. Steve unwisely off at around 400, Ian built 3k lead, Ian first back on break and made sure with excellent near on 6k break. Fight back underway, 9310 - 420.

Game Four. Mal ( how did I get away with this one ) Spier break against Rick ( where does that cushion kick ) Cunningham. Mal off at around 1.5k, Rick builds breaks but has trouble with left hand cushion and cannot keep opener. From there Mal trouble with the table, Rick with keeping his scores, fight back continued and onto decider. 2930 - 2240.

Game Five. Terry ( sod that D ) Molloy even breaks with Kevin ( what no telly for the footie) Tunstall. Terry off with 0 having missed the break after eventually getting the balls to spot on a D that was not user friendly. KT on break so Terry takes a seat, but to all the Schooner teams suprise KT ives Terry chance at just over 1k. Terry does get into it, but just as it starts to go well, ball moves on spot and Terry off, having at least kept score. KT on third time back on break makes sure. 6510 - 3090.

Good evenings entertainment, convenial company and a game that certainly could have gone either way.

On the grapevine from Gina, Mark Senior put the Marine 1 up, but wins for Edge, Alan and Mick put the Stadium through, the fourth win coming via a walkover as the Marine only had four available players.
