Jon & Ian won from the Masons
Disappointing night if i am honest!
Got there and the venue did not know there was a game on, so the room was cold which had a big impact on the table.
First games were very slow and the balls were awful - only realising half-way through the first game that they have a match-set which they do not keep in the table but it was too late to switch them over.
Myself & Ian beat Geoff & Andy but it was not pretty at all !
Then, as the room was getting warmer, Jon & Ian had their practice game and i think this gave them a huge advantage as they were now practicing on a table which had some heat in it. This showed in the game where Jon had a decent break in the first and then Mossy had a good break in the 2nd after i had missed early.
I have always said that having 3 pairs (or singles) at a venue gives the practicing person(s) a huge advantage and that was evident last night.
Maybe for next year this could be looked at? Maybe changing the pairs to 4 games so everyone gets a break?

Don't know the breaks from these matches ,Will take your remarks on board Mark.
Regarding the table , Stacky told Matt a week ago when we played in a league match,
and I reminded him last wendesday when I played a mixed pairs match there.
