Just a reminder of the Team Knockout matches this coming Wednesday, hopefully the venues all know. I have cancelled the Blue Anchor as the match there is not being played on Wednesday

Also the rules have changed this season, no longer even breaks all legs, it is now only the fifth leg

Pertinent part of the rules here:-
All team competitions will be best of five singles games. Captains who win the toss shall
have the choice of the having the break in games 1 & 3 or 2 & 4.The fifth game only will be
even break and Captains will toss for choice of who has first break or second break. All five
games are to be played. In each game the Captain whose player has the first break shall
nominate their teams player first. In the event of a drawn result the players who drew their
game will play each other again. This game will be an ‘even break’ game. The Captains of
each team tossing for choice of first or second break.

Good luck

Blue Anchor 4-1 Moulsecoomb Club

League leaders safely through to the semi-final of the Team Knockout

**Joe Oakley 11,480 - 3320 Dave Lee - Joe first for us, in awesome form with a 10,960 opener then called off for a fume. Dave made 3k, scrappy after that

Matthew Knight 12,350 - 1810 Tim Scotney** - Tim off early, I got them straight back and off with a woeful split, Tim was very kind and then left the one-up short, I made 10k

**Rick Cunningham 3890 - 4920 Phil Reay - friendly leg this one with missed splits and pegs galore. Phil finally got a grip and made sure just as the bar went

Chris Cox 3790 - 2070 Martin Parsons** - Martin built a lead, a combination of awkward balls and a slightly inebriated "home" player made life difficult for Coxy to get the balls back. He did with just enough time left and made sure first go

Tony Jenner 8830 - 230 Vic McFadden - TJ took a short time to work out you could get the hundred from high up, but unfortunately lost the break. Excellent effort after that to give Vic no chance but TJ ensured that he did have plenty of table time although the pegs kept getting in the way

Sorry for the delays in posting the scores (still beat Nige though)
Thanks to the MC for a good night, enjoyed watching a thrilling tie in their friendly afterwards
Excellent top, thanks to Alan and Jean for setting it up

New Oak A progress to the semis with narrow win against 4 man Bevy

New Oak A 3 - 2 Bevy

Phil Osborne 8,070* - 950 Ash Edwards
Marc Chipman 2,360 - 4,490* Kev Stoner
Ian Lelliott 850* - 11,260 Brian Muggeridge
Nigel Senior 5,740 - 2,080* Liam Barber
Bob Osborne walkover


In leg 1, Phil led us off with the break. An early miss but fairly solid display after that saw off Ash 1-0

Leg 2, I put on Marcus to take Kev on this week. Marc is off on holiday and looked like he needs one as Kev took control of the game and levelled the match 1-1

Leg 3 Ian back from illness and struggled with an early miss. Brian didnt struggle and was quite simply superb and amassed an 11k score. 1-2

Leg 4 This was effectively the decider and it was Liam's break, he made the break shots but his one up was a bit thin. I capitalised with a 3k break and a second 2k break put the game and tie beyond doubt 2-2 + walkover = 3-2


Good night with the Bevy for 2nd week running, both games close with us taking 3-2 wins. Brian especially excellent. Chippers to miss the big clash with the B side this week as he suns himself in Cape Verde.....

Oh and sorry for the late report, I couldnt even manage to beat Matt to it...
