Results from the Royal Oak

Mark Trafford / Keith Hollis W - L John Bamsey

The damage was donw by Mark with an opening 10K break after losing the toss. John did recover nearly 5K before Mark added a bit more at the end to go 6K up into the second leg

Second leg John was chasing and came off early to let us back to the table. I managed a 2K break with lots of pot 50's from the side rail before missing one and mark added another 5K at the death

Ray Sturgess / Greg Warland W - L Andy Wilson / Colin Winstone

Ray did the damage with several good sized breaks and looked to be comfortable on what was a very good table. Their opponents tried to peg the scores back but no such luck and Ray / Greg ran out comfortable winners.

We were playing Jon Bamsey and Dave Lewis.

Also heard that Mick Jones & Dave Bartlett won from the Red Lion venue.

You heard correctly

Pete Farrelly and Bob Allsworth beat Terry Cooke and partner ( cannot remember who sorry )

Myself and Dave beat Steve Huntley and Tony Harvey

We won the Toss, so Dave decided we would take the opening break and then told me to go get on with it! I came off at just over 17k with about 30 seconds of the clock left.

Pete made a mistake and pegged early, Bob and Dave missed, I got them straight back and that was the end of that.

Results from the Royal Oak last night played in "little Argentina" as a touring Rugby team and their local counterparts filled the pub to the rafters.

Pete / Kevin 0 - 2 Dave / Micky

Mark / Keith 1 - Ray / Greg 1

Mark and Keith winning by approx 1000 on aggregate. We ammased nearly 10K in the first from breaks of 5K (mark) and 2 * 2K by myself. Ray had a go at the break but pegged around 1500 as we were on 7000 and ended up being the difference

Second game Ray brok with nearly 7K, I then failed to score and Greg amassed another 1K+ so they were in touch. I then got a 1K break at the death to secure the match to let ray in after a nightmare break where I woefully underhit the balls.

Both pairs discussed and decided it was not suitable for a final and will play that match on another night and the secretary was infrormed accordingly.

The poor Landlord was on his own with about 100 screaming 18 - 25 yr olds running around his pub. It was a challenge hearing the scorer at times.
