We almost pulled it off against the reigning champions: After the first leg (2 x 3k breaks from Gary and one from me) we trailed by 5900-8800 (2.9k deficit). In leg 2 the table got clogged up, limiting good scoring opportunities, but at one stage I stayed on there for a slightly disappointing 1.9k. Then with the bar imminent, Margo played off the LH cushion for a ball behind the 30, looked good for a red in the 100, but it swerved and dropped clean down the 200. The other ball had dropped too which left the dreaded ball behind the 10 hole. Break so far 420. Shouts from the sidelines of "ooh, Jersey shot" and Margo looked at the scorer for affirmation, and all Honest Karl could offer was to chalk her cue. She executed the shot off the side cush perfectly, ball behind the 10 went down for twenty, and the cue ball came back to draw alongside the 100 hole. Break now 440.Next shot also a good'un: in-off 100 and red in the 20. Break now 580. Break shot down 3 times to advance to 1030, but then that all-too-familiar "rabbit in the headlights" moment on the one-up, trying to hold 'em but missing the ball completely. Linda was able to "Tidy" up, and when the scores were totted up it was found that the difference was little more than a thousand. Never mind, it was an enjoyable evening and we were honoured to make a reasonable showing, on a nice table.

Denise and Laurie ran out worthy winners. Denise got a great 9k+ break in the second game, which overcame the deficit from the 1st leg and left us too much to chase. Congratulations and yet another title for D in what could prove to be an amazing haul of victories this season.
