Romans 3-2 Atlas B
Peter (rec 1140) 3720 - 3590 (rec 0) John
Both players struggled with the break - John knocking the balls down 4 times when looking good and then managing to keep a break of 3000 which looked like it would be enough with the bar dropped and the last two balls left in potable positions but he did say he would only get one down which he did and then missed the hundred leaving Peter with the chance to win and he duly sunk it in the hundred first time
Ross (rec 910) 2700 - 3070 (rec 1120) Garry
Breaks were a problem in this game too as Ross continued his woes on the Mont table leaving both balls short first shot, Gary was going well but his first break ended with the one up shot thin and taking out the peg. He kept calm and always stayed in front for a tight win and leveling the match score
Toni (rec 2700) 4360 - 3100 (rec 0) Dave B
A very solid game from captain Toni despite losing over 1000 break missing the ball completely. Dave had the break a couple of times but try as he might could not get enough points to catch up
Dave R (rec 0) 2250 - 3640 (rec 1540) Spence
Pretty sure these two have had some battles over the years and this one was no exception with the scratch scores only 100 between them. Spence played some solid stuff at the top of the table and this was enough to level the match
Matt (rec 2930) 8530 - 4530 (rec 1590) Brian
Brian normally wins this match by about 4000 so didn't really think a 1400 start would be enough. He was feeling a bit under the weather and was off very early and I managed a 4000 break which had a slight peg wobble at one point which sent Toni's blood pressure sky high!! Anyway the break was enough for victory as the rest of the time was spent at the top of the table. A 3-2 win enough for a place in the final
Excellent night and a pleasure to play our opponents with plenty of very friendly banter
Atlas A beat the Gardeners 3-2 in the other semi so final will be:-
Romans v Atlas A next Wednesday 7th September
