Henty 2-3 Stags Head B

Awesome performances by our first 3 players saw the visitors to victory at the Henty, Ferring tonight, our first win there that any of us can remember!

Jeannie B was awesome in leg 1 after Stu C was off early making a 7300 break to seal the opener
The mighty Chris Tupper was awesome in leg 2 with a 7550 break to beat Kevin
Awesome Captain Nigel Senior made a 9k break to beat Terry to give us an unassailable 3-0 lead after leg 3
Leg 4 saw Stu M peg his opener, Phil O made a solid 5k but was overtaken in the last minute following a good chase from Stu
Leg 5 featured the battle of the out of form Worthing League players with Bob Hall defeating Matt Knight with a mid leg 5k break from Robert enough - Matt was not at the races (and very very woeful)

Lots of loud banter with some reprobates turning up from this weeks "bye" team making the noise levels even louder. They are confident of performing well in the National Team Championships on Sunday (good luck in that) but know they are very scared about their next match away to the mighty Worthing League champions - not a night for the faint hearted nor those of a nervous disposition nor those that were hoping for a peaceful or quiet night out at the Stags Head

Oh forgot to take the scores so have to speak to Kev to get them

Stuart Carruthers * 3520 - 8220 Jean Brackenridge
Kevin Tunstall 0 - 11050 Chris Tupper *
Terry Molloy 4710 - 9840 Nigel Senior *
Stuart Mepham * 5700 - 5150 Phil Osborne
Bob Hall 12560 - 2660 Matt Knight *

Tarring 2 - 3 Alexandra A

Mike Formoy * 1310 - 1600 Steve Aylmore. Mike off early and then a battle at the top end of the table with neither player able to get the break back. Steve getting ahead as the bar went and making sure. 0-1

Tony Collins 1450 - 2430 James Whittle *. James opened with 1300 and then the story was the same as the 1st leg game played at top end of the table with James maintaining the lead. 0-2

Matt Jones 4560 - 3420 Rick Cunningham *. Rick built a 3k lead and it looked as though this was going the same was as the first 2 legs but Matt did get the break back at the right time and played a good break coming off with the bar gone and a the win in the best game of the evening 1 - 2

Dave Collins * 2220 - BP Tony Jenner. Dave opened with 400 and then again neither player retrieved the break back, always nip and tuck with TJ on the table when the bar dropped, last ball 200 needed to win, caught back of pocket, spun and took out the black setting up a decider. 2 - 2

Dave Collins (4 player rule) 2480 - 4440 Pete Hickman *. Pete opened with 1500 and then again game at top of the table, Dave was within 1k but trying to get the break back with time running out took the white peg leaving the balls nice for Pete to retrieve the break and make sure 2 - 3

A good evening at Tarring with plenty of laughs and banter.
