Windmill loose unbeaten record to the Gardeners B 2-3. Excellent night played in great spirits with a wonderful spread of food including wedge potatoes, chillie mince, garlic bread and chicken.
Windmill not only loose, but Terry Molloy looses 100% record.

Game One; saw Steve Aylmore on the brake against Nick Brown, Steve off cheaply, Nick unable to retrieve break, Steve accumultes 3k lead, Nick pegs 2.5k, Steve puts another 1k, Nick gets break back and goes well, but not enough time. 3790-5080. 0-1.

Game Two. Barney Bear fresh from Spurs cup exploits with the break against Rick Cunningham ( Arsenal supporter ). Barney off with less than 2k, Rick takes lead with 2k. Barney builds 3k lead, Rick break back plenty off time. Chases well till forcing shot 1k short with 1.5 minutes left. Barney makes sure. 6520-4200 1-1.

Game Three; Terry Molloy break against Tony Burgess. Terry off at 600, Tony off with 1k. Both players played about before Tonty got break back and made steady break to leave Terry no time.
3900-2930. 2-1

Game Four; saw depenable Neil Higgins against reliable Bill Kerr. Neil opened with steady 6k+. Bill neede to retrieve straight away, but not to be, from then on Neil always in control. 8150-1040. 3-1, and very well played the Gardeners.

Game Five; Tony Jenner with break against Gary Ridley,with task of saving face for the Windmill. Seemed unlikely when left one up short on forth shot. Luckily Gary did not retrieve the break, but TJ did and put in a vary steady 6k plus, not leaving Gary much time. 2650-8550 3-2.

All good things come to an end, but well played my team for maintaining unbeaten run to third game of second halve, and all things being equal we have won the first division and still have a great chance of influencing the premier and be sure we will put every effort in to end top of the pile, but whatever happens can only be proud of my side for such an incredible run.

I find it very hard to believe that Rick is a gooner. Firstly he is a decent bloke and secondly his name isn't Tarquin.

Its so nice to see I'm not the ONLY Spurs supporter on here ;D

Stadium B 1 - 4 Stadium A

Four of the A team players recorded five-figure scores in this match, unfortunately for your reporter the exception was himself....

Game 1 - Alan Messer v Martin Smith. Martin, taking the opening break game on his birthday, was off with zero after 4 shots! Alan got the break back but made only 1500, on his second visit Martin made a 10k break. 0-1

Game 2 - Gina Sherratt was soon off, and Geoff Jukes made a sizeable reply. He added further breaks to win comfortably. 0-2

Game 3 - Micky Pope v Grant Tully. Grant opened with 7k+. Although he did have time, and the balls back, Mick never looked like catching this. 0-3

Game 4 - Charlie Cooper v Mark James. Charlie's opening 1500 was followed by another 3k visit which he pegged, then a further 4k which he kept. Mark was chasing at the end, but came up short by 500. 1-3

Game 5 - Edge Butler v Tony Lewis. Tony accumulated a 12k+ score over several visits. 1-4

With the Stadium B loosing to their A team, this means the Windmill have won Division One, well done to all my players for a great team effort.

Swan B 2 – 3 Duke of Wellington

Great win for the Duke away to the Swan, to stay top of the Premier.

Game 1 – Nigel’s break against Brian Richards. A nervy start from Nigel and he missed 50-10 split on 800 giving Brian a chance but he also missed on 1,800. Nigel got the balls back and made 8k and touched despite a very dodgy 50-100 which was so bad it only glanced the 100 hole rather than fully whipping towards the peg. Brian made a nice 5k to finish. 0-1

Game 2 – Phil Oakley was off cheaply and proceeded to have a ding dong battle with Pete Brown at the back - Phil preserving a 1,000 lead for the first 14 mins. Pete got the break back with around 4 minutes left and played lovely until the bar went to put the Duke 2-0 infront.

Game 3 – Tupps on next against Barry Holt. Tupps off early and Barry got the break back only to miss a straight pot on the 50. Tupps went in for the kill and got the balls back but found the split a bit tricky and came off only 1k up. Barry took his next chance and kept the match alive for the Swan 1-2.

Game 4 – Sub Marc Chipman was against the break against Matt Squire. Matts opening 5k proved to be decisive as Marc never got the break back to enable him to challenge that score, and the decider was setup

Game 5 – Chris Reeves against Roger Taylor. Chris never looked in trouble and made plying a pressure game look very easy. I don’t think he missed a split on his way to 11k. 2-3.

PS Well done the Windmill on clinchiong Div 1 last night

Thanks all for kind comments, we now have the task of influencing the fate of the premier trophy, and prehaps looking to loose only the one game to cap what has been a great season already.

Assume Mals lose leaves KT the only unbeaten player now ???.

BBReaper playing very well at the moment, but risky 10k against Sandra, are you trying to cause domestic.

[petem]

Congrats to Tony and his team
Word through the grapevine says the Swan A beat the Dolphin
Perhaps Dave can fill in the details

I'm sure he's found other ways to make it up to her. ;)

[Chunky Monkey]

No domestics, all is well. ;)
