[Chunky Monkey]

You have yourself a deal ;D

Colin Mansfield beat Trevor Appleby 2-0 in a closely fought, but low scoring, match at the Brewers tonight. The table was being pretty unforgiving at times to both of them.

Colin has asked me to thank Ros for scoring. :)

[Sparky]

Come on Dave how about your match with Mama Hall ? :-*

Colin is welcome :) He was gracious enough to ply me with wine beforehand ;)

It was a pity that the table was such hard work for both, I suspect that the grimy state of the balls contributed to the way they would suddenly come to an abrupt halt at the back of the table.

Colin lost a good opening break of 2570 in the first game, after that neither player managed more than a few hundred at a time in either game. Congrats to Colin who found the 100 in the second game to win (both players had numerous attempts to find it in the first game, and a couple each in the second!)

Oh I do like an optimist ::) does the Windmill have a Late Licence then ;D

[BB Warrior]

BB Warrior beat Mama Hall 2-0 at the Windmill tonight.

Table was interesting :o..... the break seemed unusual (the red spot seemed to be a long way forward to me? ???) and I was glad that I won the toss and asked Lorraine to break as we both struggled with it at first.

However, the Bar Billiard Gods were smiling on me and the balls rolled my way rather than Lorraine's on the night..... ;D

Mama Hall 2710 BB Warrior 5680
BB Warrior 5140 Mama Hall 3220

My thanks to Colin Mansfield for scoring....

BB Warrior beat Ros 2-0 at the Brewers tonight. ;D

Many thanks to Sparky and Trevor for scoring the match and Sir Jock for giving the table an early Spring Clean before we started! ;)

[Baby Guinness]

Kev beat Colin 2-O at C & K R B L

[Sir Jock o The Strap]

Jocks beats Colin Mansfield 2-1 ;D ;D

A good match this even though it was long in the making, mostly cause I forgot to make contact. :P Colin rightly agreed to play the tie at his home venue. :P Nice new top and I have to say it plays lovely. :D :D

Colin won the toss and elected to put me in first, which was his first mistake. A commanding break of 5100 followed 1-0 to the Jockster. ;D ;D

Colins break didn't go to plan in the second, he had problems all evening with the one up shot and just couldn't seem to adjust, I had a chance to steal the tie 2-0 with about 3 mins to go and 2500 behind I got the break back and got to with in 200 of him and played a very thin 50-10 split that didn't work and left me parked dead behind the 10, and was surprised to discover that the top wouldn't take even a little swerve and lost the score. 1-1 ???

Onto the evens break final frame and Col lost the toss, I went on with the first break and slipped in another 4000. Cols problem with the one up continued and he just couldn't close on the big lead. 2-1 ;D ;D

As mentioned above the table, breakwise plays lovely, and to be fair nothing much wrong with the way the rest of it plays either, pockets can be a little unforgiving but I'm putting that down to me being a little over zealous :o with the odd shot. Good games and a good top. ;D ;D

Bad luck Colin, I guess I just not ready to give up my TROPHY just yet!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[BB Warrior]

The Old Fella beat Andy Hall 2-0 last night at the Watermill.

[theoldfella (R.I.P.)]

and the table played better last night than at any other game I've played there. If Andrew would just learn to avoid the pegs, he'll start winning some games.

Big Norm was in the pub and reckons when he put a level across the slate, it rocked, upto 1/8'' either side. What can you say ?
