Pete & Jenny Edwards beat Derek Taylor & Lyn Moyes-Robb 2-1 in a close match at the Hurst Club tonight.

Derek & Lyn won a low scoring first game with the break, in the 2nd game Pete opened with 3.3k and although Derek immediately hit back with 2.5k, Pete & Jenny opened up the lead to win that game 5k to 3k.

Into the decider, with Jenny opening with 1400 and Lyn replying with 600. Pete didn't score and Derek knocked in a 2k + break to take the lead. Jenny closed the gap to under a 1000 and both sides traded equal scores until the last couple of minutes, when Jenny got the break back scoring 930, leaving Derek & Lyn 230 short with only one ball left on the table.

Well done to Pete & Jenny, bad luck Derek & Lyn...... an enjoyable game to score!

BB Reaper and Lady H beat tommo and margo 2-0 at Clayton & Keymer, the latter pair not really being at the races.
Could be a good omen for the reigning champions, they won the same fixture last year on the way to the final.
If omens are anything to go by, the winners in 1982 and 2002 could have to wait until the year 2022 before lifting the title again... ::)
Good luck to Hayley and Kevin in the next round. 8-)
