LA Dolphins 0 - 8 Locomotive Wheeltappers
The start of the game was delayed slightly owing to the Hampton Brothers treating the players to an episode of "All Our Yesterdays " , Both of them frequented the Dolphin in 1960 , when bitter was 1/3d and you get a game of Bar Billiards for a tanner. Bros H coming into the game with one hundred years of playing experience between them.
Game 1 saw a clash of the respective captains in what turned out to be a close game, BB with 300 needed with 2 balls left to tie the game unfortunately skittled the black peg to leave Hampton junior the victor.
Game 2 saw the league's best player Hamption senior get the better of a luckless Lady H.
Game 3 - Home new boy Gareth Cornfield narrowly lost to Simmo, a game which was decided by the last ball.
Game 4 - Again another close game saw The Coach just lose out to an improving Paul Clifford, playing with the Bros. Hampton has obviously sharpened his game.
Game 5 - Simmo and Paul C won against Gareth and Lady H - again the home team pairing not having any luck.
And finally Bros Hampton versus The Coach and BB. This was an entertaining tie for lots of reasons with the Home team captain amazed at some of the shots demonstrated by the other 3 stalwarts. He was simply not in their league. Again not much in it but the 100 years playing experience just told in the end.
Even though the Wheeltappers inflicted their 2nd. Ghandi's breakast of the season on the the Dolphins , I think it is fair to say that on this occasion the scoreline flattered the winners.
The main thing being , another enjoyable and entertaining evening

I'm not sure that One Beer Eric would appreciate being called Hampton Senior, unless of course it was in reference to his BBIL status!

Henty Boys 3 v 5 Henty Men
Haven't got the scores as the 'boys' were keeping tabs on affairs. Results were:
John beat Dan S Dec lost to Melv Simon beat Russ Pete lost to Mart JD/DD beat ME/DS SM/PW lost to MP/RO
We scrapped the aggregate by 600pts to win 5-3. This despite Pete forgetting all about the aggregate and attempting, badly, to cut a ball into the 200!
