Week 5 Banter and tipsters

Here we go, here we go............

Mill House Z  v  Brewers Bravos      
Bravos are looking to do well here and talk of whitewashing the mighty Zeds. Adam and Spud will have played on the table the previous night, so I'll take those two to win, but the other three will go to the home side!

Plough Lower Beeding  v  Watermill B      
Could be 3-2 either way, I reckon the Plough will kickstart their season, with one of the two youngsters triumphant.

Greyhound   v  St Francis      
Another close one, Greyhound to also kickstart their season with a 4-1.

Watermill A      v  Eight Bells      
The table-top clash. No good scores on the top this week, so will the Bells be able to suss it ? 3-2 home win. ;)

Brewers Arms  v  Plough Plumpton      
Plough are the team in form and the Arms are at present in the doldrums. The misery will continue.

Hurst A   v  Laughing Fish      
The grudge match. Will the fish call it off in favour of Toads ?  4-1 to the Hurst, but the inevitable five-figure score for H.

United Services Club      v  Horns Lodge      
Yet another close one, 3-2 to the home team.

Woolpack  v  Hurst B      
Hurst to come away with a 3-2 although the table will throw up some problems for them.

[spudgun]

Ive got a spare few minutes so lets shake up the crystal ball for once.

Mill House vs Bravos
My talk of a white wash will prove to be total nonsense of course.  I reckon 4-1 to the home side.  Wont predict the 1 for our side in case i get in trouble.

Plough (LB)  Vs Watermill B
If the fires on this could be what the yanks call a "Crapshoot" (i dont mean this in a nasty sense by the way).  Reckon the Plough will edge this one 3-2.

Greyhound vs St Francis
I reckon the greyhound will take this 3-2 but can see a good knock from TSO on the night.

Watermill A Vs Eight Bells
Matchups all important here i feel.  Reckon the away team might edge this 3-2.

Brewers Arms V Plough (PG)
Have to disagree with Tommo on this one.  Reckon a good home win favouring 4-1 the Farmer to hit big.

Hurst A v Laughing  Fish
If bobhall can carry his horsham form over to Wednesday then i think we could see fireworks, even against H although the break will be important of course. Hurst to carry the day 3-2.

USC vs  Horns lodge.
Really dont know how to call this one as don't know too much about Horns lodge team at present.  Just to be contary, i will predict 3-2 away win.

Woolpack Vs Hurst B
Still think an away win but more empatic, 4-1.

Right, thats my less than studious twopennys worth.  Time to go to work.

Pip Pip.

P.S.  As another prediction, if i do this next week, I reckon i will use the word "Reckon" a lot less as well.  Time for the thesauras methinks!

[BB Warrior]

Welcome Spud, I "reckon" that it's nice to have another Tipster on board.... 8-)

Ok, here are my thoughts on next week.....

Mill House Z  v  Brewers Bravos      
Bravos often do well against the Premier "big boys", but I think that the Zeds will prove too strong on their current form.  4-1 to the Zeds, Adam to be the only winner for the visitors with big hits for him, Tommo and SuperG. ;)

Plough Lower Beeding  v  Watermill B      
A 4-1 home win for the Plough team with the Bees not getting on well with the table. :-/

Greyhound   v  St Francis
A 3-2 home win, expect a good score from Trevor if he is back.

Watermill A      v  Eight Bells      
Both unbeaten at the top of the Premier Division, think that the Bells will have the edge to take it 3-2, Doug to top score for the visitors.

Brewers Arms  v  Plough Plumpton      
The Brewers need a win to get their season back on track, I will go for a 3-2 home win with Jock and the Farmer doing the most damage.

Hurst A   v  Laughing Fish      
H's first big chance to have a run at the highest away break, but the draw will be crucial.  A 3-2 home win for the Hurst, Mama Hall to be top scorer for the home side after Bobhall is drawn against H who hits 12k for the visitors.

United Services Club      v  Horns Lodge      
It could go either way depending on the draw, Sparky to hit big for the USC in a 3-2 home win.

Woolpack  v  Hurst B      
Hurst B to come away with their first win of the year, but only just.... :-/

[DA-DM]

;D ;D captain Ivan in west sussex last season nicknamed me santa schumacher - I was wearing a santa hat and had hit the balls hard and fast (the table was tricky)......   ::) 8-) ;D

[bobhall]

Mill House Z  v  Brewers Bravos      
mill house will hope that having two of the bravos on the table wont affect this game but i belive it will be home domination with a 3-2 win a win for spud tonight and and superg a big hitter

Plough Lower Beeding  v  Watermill B      
i belive the home side will scrap away and become 3-2 victors martin range winning for the away side and paul blackburn

Greyhound       v  St Francis      
st francis go to the greyhound and win 3-2 chris little top scorer and if shaun is back a win for him

Watermill A      v  Eight Bells      
doug and nick will win for the away team tonight but its not enough as the home team fights back and wins 3-2 victors wins for norman kim and chris

Brewers Arms  v  Plough Plumpton      
brewers arm a strong team and i see a 4-1 victor no dave ingram tonight so ron only winner tonight

Hurst A      v  Laughing Fish      
two scenarios bobhall gets H and H has break he goes with 10k and i come back with 8k
bobhall gets break and he does reverse
bobhall and h dont meet and both get wins under there belt
jenny gets H and starts well but H gets break back and puts in a high break
so 3-2 home win tonight     also H to hit 20k with break tonight

United Services Club      v  Horns Lodge      
horns lodge playing well lets hope there players are a little bit more happy tonight and dont get upset with a big score and walk away but a 3-2 home win with chris farrow and kevin stevens winning for away team and sparky a big hitter

Woolpack  v  Hurst B      
hurst be take this 4-1 tonight a good solid performance from ian the might christmas queen colleen aswell and steve bounces back for a win tonight and mr jobbins does the sweeping up but lynne storr winner for home team no score over 6k tonight though

[specialone]

OK lets have a go at this
Z's v Bravos
4-1, A twin to top score for Z's, a bearded carp fisherman for the Bravos
PLB v Watermill B
4-1, landlord and Dutchman to top score
Hound v Saints
5-0, never a happy hunting ground for us. PB and TSO to top score
Watermill A v 8 Bells
3-2. Big Norm, fresh from an olympic standard table whinge last week, and Nick to top score
Brewers v PPG
Someone who ignored Hadrian's little hint and PPG Skip to top score
Hurst A v Fish
4-1, Lorraine and H (brave shout) to top score
The other club v Horns Lodge
2-3 Sparky and Chris to top score
Wooly v Hurst b
1-4, ex PLB man and The king to top score

1 point for correct result...... plus 2 bonus points for predicting Adam & Spud as winning visitors. 8-)

Plough Lower Beeding 2 Watermill B 3
Could be 3-2 either way, I reckon the Plough will kickstart their season, with one of the two youngsters triumphant.
Result went the wrong way for any points....... and, from the report both youngsters lost..... but a 0.5 bonus as Keiron got a special mention for playing well in his first season. ;)

Greyhound 3 St Francis 2
Another close one, Greyhound to also kickstart their season with a 4-1.
0.5 points for the home win.;)

Watermill A 2 Eight Bells 3
The table-top clash. No good scores on the top this week, so will the Bells be able to suss it ? 3-2 home win. ;)
Thought we had all found out last week not to tip the Bells to lose..... no points. ::)

Brewers Arms 2  Plough Plumpton 3
Plough are the team in form and the Arms are at present in the doldrums. The misery will continue.
Well tipped for a point. 8-)

Hurst A 3 Laughing Fish 2   
The grudge match. Will the fish call it off in favour of Toads ?  4-1 to the Hurst, but the inevitable five-figure score for H.
0.5 for the home win..... plus an H bonus point. ;)

United Services Club 1 Horns Lodge 4
Yet another close one, 3-2 to the home team.
This weeks surprise result..... means no points. :'(

Woolpack 2 Hurst B 3
Hurst to come away with a 3-2 although the table will throw up some problems for them.
Well worth 2 points with the table problems...... ;D

8.5 points for Tommo this week.

3-2 the wrong way I'm afraid.... no points :'(

Greyhound 3 St Francis 2
I reckon the greyhound will take this 3-2 but can see a good knock from TSO on the night.
1 point for the correct result.... TSO had an "ugly" win (in his own words) but worth 0.5 bonus as he did win! ;D

Watermill A 2 Eight Bells 3
Matchups all important here i feel.  Reckon the away team might edge this 3-2.
Spud knows not to tip against the Bells..... 1 point for correct result. ;)

Brewers Arms 2 Plough (PG) 3
Have to disagree with Tommo on this one.  Reckon a good home win favouring 4-1 the Farmer to hit big.
Tommo was right though..... the Farmer did win but 4k not really a "big hit"..... but a 0.5 bonus anyway. ;)

Hurst A 3 Laughing  Fish 2
If bobhall can carry his horsham form over to Wednesday then i think we could see fireworks, even against H although the break will be important of course. Hurst to carry the day 3-2.
One point for the correct result.... plus a Bobhall bonus and a bonus for H 14k fireworks.... 3 points in total. 8-)

USC 1 Horns lodge 4
Really dont know how to call this one as don't know too much about Horns lodge team at present.  Just to be contary, i will predict 3-2 away win.
Worth 0.5 points for predicting the away win. ;D

Another 0.5 points for predicting the away win. ;)

Well, I "reckon" that's 7.5 points for Spud..... :D

[BB Warrior]

How did I get on.....

Welcome Spud, I "reckon" that it's nice to have another Tipster on board.... 8-)

Ok, here are my thoughts on next week.....

Mill House Z  3  Brewers Bravos 2
Bravos often do well against the Premier "big boys", but I think that the Zeds will prove too strong on their current form.  4-1 to the Zeds, Adam to be the only winner for the visitors with big hits for him, Tommo and SuperG. ;)
0.5 for the home win..... Adam won and top scored for Bravos (1.5 bonus as Spud also won and Adam only hit 4k) plus a bonus for SuperG's 10k....total 3 points. 8-)

Plough Lower Beeding 2 Watermill B 3
A 4-1 home win for the Plough team with the Bees not getting on well with the table. :-/
Well, the Bees stung my prediction there..... :'(

Greyhound 3 St Francis 2
A 3-2 home win, expect a good score from Trevor if he is back.
1 point for correct result. ;)

Watermill A 2 Eight Bells 3
Both unbeaten at the top of the Premier Division, think that the Bells will have the edge to take it 3-2, Doug to top score for the visitors.
1 point for correct result, with Doug earning me a bonus. ;D

Brewers Arms 2 Plough Plumpton 3
The Brewers need a win to get their season back on track, I will go for a 3-2 home win with Jock and the Farmer doing the most damage.
No points for the result..... I hear Jock hit big (against Darren) and the Farmer also won so 2 bonus points there

Hurst A 3 Laughing Fish 2
H's first big chance to have a run at the highest away break, but the draw will be crucial.  A 3-2 home win for the Hurst, Mama Hall to be top scorer for the home side after Bobhall is drawn against H who hits 12k for the visitors.
One point for the correct result..... Bobhall missed H and top scored for Hurst, H didn't miss against Jenny for 14k break which must be worth a bonus point for me!;D

United Services Club 2 Horns Lodge 3
It could go either way depending on the draw, Sparky to hit big for the USC in a 3-2 home win.
No points for wrong result and no bonus either. :'(

Woolpack 2 Hurst B 3
Hurst B to come away with their first win of the year, but only just.... :-/
Correct for a point. ;)

11 points this week.....

[BB Warrior]

Just a TSO bonus for his win.

Watermill A 2 Eight Bells 3

Brewers Arms 2 Plough Plumpton 3
brewers arm a strong team and i see a 4-1 victor no dave ingram tonight so ron only winner tonight
Wrong result..... but a good Ron bonus as I hear he hit 5k in his win. 8-)

Somehow or other you got to the right result..... :o .....and giving so many scenarios meant that there has to be some bonuses as well! ;D  Bobhall and H both won..... 2 points..... Jenny played H (only 0.5 for predicting this as it was your second choice!).... and H put in a 14k break for another bonus.  That makes.... hang on, where is my calculator.....ok, 4.5 points. 8-)

Woolpack 2 Hurst B 3
hurst be take this 4-1 tonight a good solid performance from ian the might christmas queen colleen aswell and steve bounces back for a win tonight and mr jobbins does the sweeping up but lynne storr winner for home team no score over 6k tonight though
0.5 points for the away win..... no Ian or Paul playing, but a bonus for Colleen winning (plus a 0.5 Santa top-up!) and 1 point for Lynn winning..... correct to say no score over 6k (has there ever been one here...??) but will only give 0.5 for that as 2 players hit 5k+.  Mean bugger aren't I?  Total 3.5 points

Total this week....1518 points. 8-)

[/color]but help, who is the twin??
[/quote]

SuperG.  Has an identical twin brother Steve who also used to play (from the Grapes in the old Crawley League).

[specialone]

Thanks Tommo
They were in the year above me when I grew up in Crawley. As for the King I did mean Steve. However a confession. There is a betting shop con which involves writing a number ambiquesly, with a view to being on two fancied runners for one stake, and yes I would have claimed Codilliia's dad.
Back to the twins. Think they lived near me in Furnace green, Arden Road? Impossible to tell apart until you heard them speak, one's voice higher than the other.

TSO

Thanks Tommo for explaining the Twin...... also TSO who gains an extra "honesty bonus" point this week - even if it was for saying that he was being a bit crafty with picking the "King"...... an honest bookie, truly a rarity. :o ;D ;D

Now we just need to know how many TSO scored this week in his match..... and if Trevor got a decent score to see if there are any bonus points to be awarded? ;)

[specialone]

I 'won ugly' with 2k plus. Trevor won with last ball 200 and a low score. Think Peter Burchill, my tip, might have won with top score of the night, but that needs to be confirmed.
