And then the match report....

Game 1
It would be fair to say that Martin never settled during his opening break, spending a lot of time recovering from missed split shots around the back of the table before coming off on just under 3k.  Jean got the break back straight away but missed early and then had another chance at the break building a useful lead.  With the clock counting down, Jean left her one up just short and Martin gratefully got the break back with a superb 3 ball clear (someone said it was lucky!) and finished the leg off and take the win.  1-0  

Game 2
Matt looked in great form for his first 3 splits and didn't look like missing.... until he did and came off on 2.7k at the back of the table leaving Jim a couple of awkward balls.  Jim played a couple of brilliant shots to get the break back and although he was not at his fluent best, he touched up on 9,840 to take the vital game against the break.  Matt did have another break after that but missed again before playing a "woeful" attempt at the 200 hole with the last ball which flattened the black peg.    2-0 

Game 3
Phil had a couple of excursions up the table but each time played good recovery shots to keep his break going before touching up on 10,270 to give me no chance.  I finished the game off.  2-1  

Game 4
Mark was simply superb, he didn't miss a 100 split on his way to touching up on 11,250.  Nigel had no luck getting the break back and Mark finished off with another 5k break to complete the win for us.  3-1  

Game 5
A few early excursions for Tupps but he kept the break going before touching on 8,450 to leave Geoff no time, Geoff finished the game off.  3-2  

Plenty of banter flying, especially during the first couple of games where "luck" was implied on numerous occasions.... 

Brilliant evening in great company, I do enjoy playing against the "Bees" - especially when we keep beating them!

Alexandra A 1 - 4 Alexandra B

Pete Hickman * 4470 - 3470 Vern Blake. Pete off at 1.9k, Vern break back of at 1.4k then a lot of play at top of the table with it being very unforgiving on the night. Pete built a lead and Vern had a chance at the end but ran out of time 1-0

Steve Aylmore 590 - 2540 Terry Denyer *. Terry off at just over 1k then again game got bogged down at the back of the table. Terry added another 1k and at last Steve got them back 2k down and 2 minutes to go, going well at 1k but then 4 timed the break and game over. 1 - 1.

James Whittle 770 - 2450 Brian Richards *. Brian opened with 5150 break and with game again getting sticky at the back of the table that looked to be a winning score but Brian bringing a ball back into the 100 from the back cushion missed the 100 and somehow (he had not hit the ball hard) the ball kept travelling and took out the black. James in a poor run of form at the moment and was not able to take advantage, Brian balls back and off at 2k but that was enough 1 - 3.

Kevin Stoner * 3980 - 6990 Roger Taylor. I went for the hero of last week and myself and some of Brians team surprised to see Rogers` name go down against the break. Kev was off at 1.5k and with Roger getting no luck at all Kev first to get the break back and built his lead to just under 4k but then left the one up short. Roger needed no second invitation balls back and touched on 6650 with the bar down. 1 - 3.

Tony Jenner 1860 - 8450 Colin Green *. Colin off at about 1.4k and I got them back and got the lead only to spin the 100 out on the split but luckily no peg but then ended up like most struggling to get the balls back at the end of the table. Colin did get them back twice first time another 1.5k but 2nd time a very nice 4k to make sure. I then pegged with the bar due and gave Colin another got at the break. A good leg and the highest score of the night from Colin and no complaints from me as I had them back straight away and was not good enough. 1 - 4.

Enjoyable evening with the B team plenty of banter and a well-deserved victory for them. With a couple of players out of form, missing Rick (last night only thank God) and Mal (likely the remainder of the season) captain can see it being a long season, but we will make it an enjoyable one. Thank you once again to little legs for standing in again always a pleasure to have your company.

Table very tough at the top tonight, none more so than in Tony vs Bepo with 5 + balls on table most of the time. Biggest break was 2k. Suffice to say we're struggling 5 breaks away in these games. Well played Tarring, deserved winners on the night.
