Horsham comps 2023

[paulJ]

Here's what happened in the quarter finals doubles games played at RSSC yesterday PM.

Dave V. & Brian 0, Ros & Paul 2.

Yours truly first up, missed the split and miscued recovery attempt. Pretty close for a while,

then a well-timed 2540 break from Ros meant a win by 1K or so. Second game: my turn to

get a grip, Brian unlucky to peg a 2K+ break, good steady play thereafter saw us over the line.

Steve V. & Mark 0, Dick and Ricky D. 2.

First game: fairly close for a while, couple of nice breaks from Dick saw the father and son team home.

Second game: Ricky opened up with a 9280 break, everybody else had a few goes (all good practice).

Pairs from Plough and RCC thus through to semis.

 

Club warm and comfortable as usual, screen by BB table not turned on (phew), Mark was the star of our

show in the raffle. Catering: a raffle prize box of wine gums was passed around, lucky us.

Got the full SP on this one from Twiggy tonight: Apparently in the decider the Norfolk pair stood 100 behind with three balls left. Noggs - who had up to this stage under-performed - pulled off a 100 of the side cushion which only just reached and hesitated before dropping. The object ball had parked itself by the 20 hole and he then put the last two in the 20 and 10 to win by 30. Unlucky Paul and Ros !

Attended this one tonight and can report thus:
Twiggy lost the toss and broke first, racking up a few shy of 4000.  Foxy overtook and came off at just over 6k. Twiggy added about 500 in fifties, and Foxy played to the bar, finishing on 7k.
Foxy's break next and went away with a few k. Again Twiggy had some chances but wasn't as fluent as Foxy had been on the split, preferring 50s.
A few more goes each and it finished 8k-3k in Foxy's favour.

Here's what happened at the Windmill earlier this PM.

Senior singles semi: Jim 2, Mick 0.

Good play from Jim, including a 17,520 table playout and coming back from behind with a 9K+ break.

Open singles semi: Paul 2, Mick 0.

Game 1: Mick chased my 5.5K lead, broke down 200 short: I gratefully potted the last few balls.

Game 2: my turn to play catch up, overcame a 2K+ deficit with a nice 4K near the end.

Windmill karma quite good, sport not too loud, thank you Clive for coming in early, preparing the

table and doing the scoring for the second match.

Two cracking matches, a privilege to watch.  And thanks Paul for putting the table away allowing me to catch my bus !

Foxy's break included three 'excursions' so reckon 19k might just be possible at the moment on our table which goes exactly 18 minutes.

Here's what happened at RCC earlier in the seniors semi:

Paul 2, Colin 1. 

Games 1 and 2: both went with the break. Game 3: I won the 
toss, started first and built a 4K lead. Break back for Colin, nearly 
chased me down before the bar went, 500 in it. Thanks Graham 
for coming along early, ensuring all was ready and scoring 
the games for us.

....... and here's how this Battle of the Titans went:

Foxy won the toss, put Colin in.
Leg 1 Colin two breaks to reach 6k, Jim not yet firing on all cylinders but managed 5k.

Leg 2 Jim several visits to get up to 4k, Colin couldn't clear for the break, and Jim making a further 5k which he lost with a peg.

Leg 3 Jim elected to break and played it out completely for 17,430 with just two excursions. 
Colin sportingly agreed to have a go at the target and made a rapid 4560 before getting out of position at which point he conceded.

So the current champion defeated, which means Jim faces Paul Jobbins in both the Singles and Seniors Finals next Tuesday at Roffey CC.
