Some cracking all Guernsey singles clashes noted

[beefy]

Yeah WTF, go to Guernsey only to draw a pair from OXFRD in the first round......lol

[Sir Chancelot]

From the recent Guernsey Island team v Jersey
Gallienne v Chapple
Rundle v Dyer

Champs v Tom Oliver looks tasty also.

The plate is going to be just as hard to win as the main

Some start times would have been nice, guys !

Ah well, I s'pose we'll find out when we get there.....

Except there seems to be a problem with the website, all I'm getting is:

MySQL DB Connection Error: Aborted connection 17410 to db: 'unconnected' user: 'chrisv80_gbba' host: 'localhost' (init_connect command failed)

That was after searching through Google, the links on here give the same response

["Silent"]

Yes that is happening for me too today. However, it was working perfectly fine last night...weird

[Q]

I reckon that chrisv80 has c0cked something up whilst updating last night

[The Bullet]

Unfortunately the site has crashed, Luke is having to run the open from the laptop after having to re-inputting the match results.

[Q]

If anyone can update Facebook Bar Billiards on Facebook I can transfer all details to here, even a snapshot of the sheets will do

Bob Chapple is the new Guernsey Open champion, who beat Jerseys Bob King in the final
In a strong all Channel Islands semi-final line up, four of the Islands best secured the last four places.
The England players still suffering from their celebrations after the International win perhaps ?
Bob Chapple beat Mat Ogier who had a very good run into the semis.
Ian Champion has has a truly brilliant season and was the Guernsey Open Pairs winner with partner Paul Le Gallez.
However he could not quite keep his form going and lost to Jerseys Bob King in the other singles semi-final.

Chris Saville won the plate final
Further details to follow no doubt.
Well done to all who took part and the organisers also.

Two Rangers tables just delivered back to Club and it is not even 9 Colemanator After Ten PintsAM

Congratulations to Bob Chapple on his victory at the Guernsey Open yesterday.

A fascinating final against Bob King, not only because it was Guernsey v Jersey but also the different styles of play with Bob C playing the split shot and Bob K potting. The final ebbed and flowed with players getting and then losing their advantage with vital breaks lost during the course of the match but Bob C sealed his win with an excellent 7k plus break during the second leg to take a well deserved win.

As Stormin has already pointed out, the Guernsey players had a great weekend with Mat Ogier and Ian Champion both reaching the semi-finals whil the quarter-finalists were Geoff Pitt, Dave Ingram, Chris Newson and another Guernsey player Nick Ogier. Dave Ingram won the High Break Award with 11,350 and Lorraine Hall won Ladies High Break with about 4.5k (I think?).

The Home Guernsey players also dominated in the Pairs with Ian Champion and Paul Le Gallez beating Trevor Gallienne and Barry Osborne in a high quality final. Paul Sainsbury & Chris Tupper and Nigel Senior and Michelle Baden were the semi-finalists and Martin Friend & Allen Walker, Curt Driver & Gerry Fitzjohn, Roy Le Page & Terry Kenny and Bob Chapple & Colleen Park the quarter-finalists. Mark Trafford & Keith Hollis beat Ian Lelliott and Dave Ingram in the Pairs Plate Final.

As always it proved to be a great weekend and the Rocquettes Hotel looked after us very well, our thanks go to everybody involved in organising and running the weekend, especially Luke, Tom and Sue Oliver for their great work on the Admin Desk and the people who set up the tables this year which seemed very good this year.... a final thanks must go to Bob Le Moignan who was always available to help and (once again) picked us up and took us back to the airport.

Hope to see everybody there again next year, Colleen says that there are only 363 sleeps until the next Guernsey Open weekend!

A very memorable weekend - last year was the first one we missed, but Guernsey 2014 reminded us what an all-round enjoyable experience is to be had.

BB Warrior has provided an accurate report on the weekend's main achievers, so not too much to add on that front, but first of all well done to him on a 'treble success' of Runner-up in the Pairs Plate (with Ian Lelliott) and Quarter-Finalist in the Singles (Main Competition) and Mens Highest Break of 11k. And well done to Lorraine Hall for achieving the Ladies Highest Break (with just a couple of hundred more than Sandra's).
The prize money is always very generous over here and they pay down to the last sixteen - which sorted our cattery fees. We owe a dept of gratitude to the sponsor: 'a very private man who prefers to maintain his anonymity'. Hmmm.

A big WELL DONE to Guernsey players in general, who followed up last weekend's Inter-Insular triumph over Jersey with a creditable performance against England on Saturday night. And then after providing both sets of Pairs finalists on Saturday they provided an amazing THREE of the four Singles semi-finalists on Sunday: A great treble indeed, with a good 'double' for Champs (he of Cilla Black's Blind Date fame) of Winner of the Pairs and Semi-Finalist in the Singles.

We had a "Two Bob" Final with the usual "I bet you any money that Bob wins" jokes. Big well done to the victorious Bob Chapple and to the runner-up, Jersey's Bob King .

Other notes from the weekend's play:
The tables were all excellent, fast and true, with 5 of the 8 being the synthetic Speedcloth.
The Draw brought quite a few top-line players up against each other which did make for a stronger-than-usual Plate. A scan of the room whilst the Quarter-Finals were being played revealed five of them were England Internationals !

So all the more cause for a pat on the back to Sav for coming through the pack to clinch the Plate (from Dover and Deal teammate Craig Carlsson). He looked absolutely knackered by the end, and understandably so as I worked out he played a total of 24 frames over the weekend - 12 on the Saturday and 12 on the Sunday !

Finally, well done to the organisers - once again a first class job.

Okay, doesn't look like too many more reports are forthcoming so I may as well put up my hastily-taken pics (sorry the quality is a bit poor)...........



Plate Winner Sav...........Plate runner-up Craig

Again, apologies for the poor picture quality:



Open Runner-up Bob King....and the Open Champ Bob Chapple.

Good luck and have an enjoyable weekend all those taking part
