The Stadium did not open it's doors last night the 19th November. Not sure if it will open for Thursday's game!!

[Chunky Monkey]

Sir KT has just informed me that the Stadium is closed tonight so Stadium V Three Horseshoes is P-P.

[SirKT]

Re-opens tomorrow night under new management, so the re-arranged Brighton league match between Stadium `A` & Three Horseshoes will go ahead. :)

[SirKT]

Duke of Wellington 3 - 2 Swan B

Henry Brooks 2,610 - 6,230* Barry Holt
Chris Tupper 12,210* - 4,140 Matt Squire
Pete Brown 2,060 - 7,610* Brian Richards
Chris Reeves 8,030* - 7,440 Trevor Foard
nigel Senior 9,550 - 3,880* Roger Taylor

Game 1 - Barry started ok but pegged his 2k opener, H got them back but missed his first split. H got the balls back again but missed another split thin forcing him off only 2k in front. Barry made no mistake on his next chance and made 6k to win

Game 2 - Tupps off with a solid 7k, Matt had time to challenge but was off on around 3k. Tupps made the game safe and ended up on 12k.

Game 3 - Pete and Brian really struggled. About 4 goes at the break each, only Brian managed a deent break on his last visit, the 7k score a bit flattering.

Game 4 - Game of the night. Chris off with 3k after leaving a 50-10 short. Trevor looks set to seal the match for the Swan getting up to 7,440 before leaving chris a very awkward ball. Chris managed to clear them and made the a 4,500 break to win by 500.

Game 5 - Roger missed his first split thin but got another chance and made a 3,500 lead before giving Nigel another chance. Nigel took the chance with a 9k break to win the match.

A cracking match, with chances on both sides and a great game by Trevor - not bad for a reserve!

First game, Gary broke off with over 2k but Dave didn't have much luck spinning balls but did manage to get the break back. Gary did enough to win the first game. 0-1.

Adam broke off with 5880 in his opening break Barney pushed the balls around the table quite hard at times. 1-1

Aiden then went against Tony Burgess who always had the game under control. 1-2

The two captains then did battle Neil needing the 200 hole at the end to win we both had 2 goes at the last ball with mine going into the 100 hole. 2-2

Barry against Nick. Nick came off cheaply, Barry struggling after ten minutes with his neck had done enough to warrant the win. 3-2.

Well done team and will be strengthened by the return of Chris and Hayley

A good evening of banter with a cuisine of sausage and chips.
;D ;D ;D The B's are quite happy to give the A's a pointer in how to win ;D ;D ;D

[bigtj]

Think anybody could give us a pointer at the moment. Trying to emulate last seasons run, but this time continuous losses not wins.

Stadium 2 -3 Three Horseshoes A

match played 22/12/08

This rearranged match saw Stadium slip to their first defeat of the season, and completes the first half of the league season.

Game 1 - Martin Smith v Kevin Tunstall. To the astonishment of all, KT's first break amounted to 120 (yes, one hundred and twenty). Martin had two visits but didn't retrieve the balls, KT did on his 3rd, and proceeded to make the anticipated 10k and touch. 0-1

Game 2 - Geoff Jukes v Chris Lawman. An 11,500 opener from Geoff secured the leg, he added a further 3k. 1-1

Game 3 - Ian Lelliott v Jim Greensted. Jim was off at 1500, then had a second break of 4k. Ian had a chance with the balls back and 5k+ neeeded, but he broke down half way there. 1-2

Game 4 - Grant Tully 8880 break against Stuart Mepham did not leave enough time, 2-2

Game 5 - Mark James v Kevin Hall. A very scrappy game indeed, Kevin held a lead of 1000 for most of the game as the balls were chased around the table. Kevin potted some vital 50s near the end to win by 3k to 2k. Final result 2-3

A very Merry Christmas to everybody out there in BB land, see you all in 2009.
