Duke of Wellington 2 - 3 Stadium
A hard-fought victory for the league-leaders, with the first 4 games all going against the break.
Game 1 - Ian Lelliott missed the break and was off with 50. Chris Reeves killed the game at his first visit. 1-0
Game 2 - Chris Tupper v Mark James. Tupps went off with 2700, your reporter got the balls back but broke down at 1700. A further chance was to follow almost immediately, however, and I made no mistake at 2nd attempt. 1-1
Game 3 - Martin Smith was off cheaply v Nigel Senior, who got the break back immediately. He missed unexpectedly at 4k approx, but Martin couldn't get the balls back, and Nigel did. 2-1
Game 4 - Henry Brooks appeared ill-at-ease during his 2k opening break v Geoff Jukes. Geoff established a 2k lead of his own after his first visit, but thereafter chances went a-begging to both players, before Geoff finally got over the line. 2-2
Game 5 - Grant Tully is renowned more for his imperious home performances than his away record, but he showed his team-mates the way to do it here, clinching the decider v Pete Brown with a magnificent 8600 break, compiled in almost 13 minutes. This left no chance for Pete, and secured the points for Stadium. 2-3
Next BB action takes place at the Hurst Club this weekend, where almost all of the players from this match will be competing in the Sussex comps. See you there.
