Played last night on Salfords LH table
Tony Cross & Dave Jones 2 (17050), Michael Wilson & Clive Thompson 0 (5450)
How it went, from memory .....
MW won the toss and we put them in.
DJ quick out of the blocks, 4.5k break and suddenly off.
CT got em back, dug in and cruising on 4k but left a ball behind the 10 hole Jemima-style and missed.
MW scored - and kept - 3k, with a good look at the table for the second game with his break to come.
DJ added another quickfire 4.5k to the bar.
Not worried at this stage having taken time out of their first leg opportunity, but still 6k down. Slight regret at my lost 4k - for not having taken longer, in line with my recently-acquired reputation of being a slow plodder!
Leg 2 MW a careful start, but being obliged to play more 50/10s than 50/100 not to his liking, and he was off at 2k.
My go came round quicker than expected - dilemma: try to stay on there, or play fast and off to bring MW's go around that much quicker? I chose the latter but at 2k again left a ball in the middle, this time in front of the 100. I went off the cush and managed to score off it, but left a ball next to the peg and misjudged the cut.
DJ then put the game beyond reach with his next visit and TC applied the icing to the cake.
So sweet revenge for Tony and Dave from last year's Semi: they were well worth their win and we wish them all the best in future rounds.

John Slee & Jim Balchin v Tony Cross & Dave Jones
Played at Horley CC
Game 1
Tony won the toss and put us in . I broke and going along really well on 4.5 k break till I left a one up
Right on the lip. A bit of tip tap with Tony making a few before Jim's first chance added 1.5k. No-one
Really got going and Another decent few by me at the end left us 5k up.
Game 2
Enter Mr Jones to spoil the party, a superb 12k and tap left us 4 mins on the clock . A round of shots
Bar down game over.
A cracking match not much more we could have done on a very good Horley top.
