Pocket Rocket A 4-1 Prestonville

Joe 6590 - 6990 Geoff** - not a great start as the clock ran longer than 20 minutes in the first leg. Felt a bit sorry for Joe as he battled back from a shaky start after Geoff was off early. He had got plenty for a 19 minute clock, unfortunately it ran a bit longer Geoff, to his credit, just kept going and made enough for the win

**Tony 8620 - 4500 Jim - Tony was off early but it took some time for Jim to get them back. When he did he was about 4k behind, got just in front, left a split short and was off next shot. The Jenneral with balls straight back and a very good break to finish

Henry 8310 - 5410 Grant** - Grant started off well and got to 3.5k without any problem. Leaving a one-up a bit short he tried a straight 50 and missed. H balls straight back and excellent break to win it first visit

**Matt 12,920 - 1380 Dave - deary me where to start, first off forget the first players score, greatly flattered I managed to miss the first break shot, good start!! Dave missed next shot......woeful start from both of us. Didn't get much better, I got a few, one-up behind. Dave balls back, one-up behind worse than woeful from both players again I did manage a half-decent break but then nearly lost it going dangerously close to a peg Touched up and Dave had had enough by then and another one up behind. Terrible leg but somehow gave us the win

Rick 6570 - 5880 Stuart** - Close all the way as it was another leg where both players found some intriguing ways to come off, in fairness though none of them included putting the one-up behind!!!! Rick got his nose in front and kept it there

Not much more to say, shame about the clock but hopefully that is sorted now. Glad of the win but it was a strange game indeed. Usual suspects were on the wind-ups tonight  Dave with definitely the best comment of the night....."Alexa can you teach me the one-up"...classic
