Cock Utd 5, Hassocks B 0
(played at CKRBL)

A scoreline that rather flatters the Cocky Ones. Barry is doing a terrific job in bringing on a clutch of young, promising players who all had chances to knock the Cocks off their respective perches. I hope they all continue to play and improve because, let's face it, this game will die without new blood coming in.

[Sparky]

CKRBL 1 - 4 USC A

Andy 1930 - 4280 Trevor
Lynne 2510 - 4190 Ben

Thanks to the Kleiners for a friendly evening with banter.
Thanks to Chris and the Hassocks for the lovely grub.

Wins for Neil, Ros, Gary & Spud

Nice 4K break from Gary and good to see Spud out playing.

Thanks to the Plough for the great spread which we made a big dent in but could of done with Rob Driver to help us out 

[bobhall]

Plough won 3-2

No food by watermill and not a great place to have table when pool is on

Especially as where the table used to be not one customer was that side

Tommo phoning a pub and booking the table takes 30 seconds doesnt really seem that hard or do you use pigeon carrier

Whatever for ???

I would just like to be in a position to tell the landlady of my local if she has a game next Wednesday or not ???

You could still leave the draw till next Sunday, but nothing to stop you/committee deciding and announcing the four venues in advance.

Might not be convenient at such short notice, might have some sort of function on such as an Open Mic night, or a funeral wake (we get plenty of those).

If there won't be a game there - fine - but would like to know one way or the other a.s.a.p. just to cover all bases.

Booking a table for competitions is not usually a problem as you have a "must be played by date", but as the K.O. Cup is on a designated day this could be awkward. It comes down to two months to do a draw v. two days to book a venue. Hmm?

So a since september last year when the fixtures come out it said there would be a semi final match this seems adequate timing to me.

Ok Bob, change of landlady and we have her mobile number, so table booked for Plough v HHUSC A and food arranged.

[Richard]

We played there last night, so hopefully the table will play well again for us next week. Two weeks in a row, lucky us.

[Sparky]

Thanks Clive, as the fixture has been confirmed to me by Lorraine, to be held at the Windmill.

Plough 1.5 - 3.5 USC A

Good evening with the Plough.

Mid-Sussex Plate

Hassocks B 4-1 Watermill

A very friendly evening of billiards between two
teams of similar ability. A competitive draw in a
busy Plough in Plumpton , gave some very close
games.
Mark and Dom were neck and neck for most of the
first before , a fluke in the 200 and some inspired
shots put the Watermill 1-0 up.
In the second, a opening break of 2000 , including
lots of luck, from the B’s captain , was the
difference between the 2 players. 1-1.
Sabina and Peter went to the wire, with Peter
potting the last 2 balls 20/30 , to save a last
ball shootout.2-1.
Tom went off all guns blazing for a big lead.
Tony tried some outrageous shots to close
the gap but to no avail.3-1
Paul and Jack fought out the last. A slow
and steady 800 sealed Jack the win.4-1.

A different draw , or the luck going the other
way, could of led to the result going to the Watermill.

Thanks to Gavin and his team for an evening ,
which has left this captain and his team very
happy !!!
