Blue Anchor 4-1 Master Mariner

Matthew Knight 10,930 - 950 Gary Mechan** - Gaz off early, I still needed 2 breaks for the win
Chris Cox 0 - 9380 Moppy Scott** - Mop opened with 3k, no luck for Coxy getting the balls back, very good 5540 from Mop second time
Tony Jenner 5800 - 2950 Steve Burns** - Steve trouble getting the break, TJ not as good as last week but enough late on for the leg
Rick Cunningham 4940 - 4090 Bob Mechan** - nip and tuck this one, couple of under hit splits costly for Bob. Rick making 3.5k to win
Joe Oakley 12,540 - 1370 DJ Robins** - Joe smashing it trying to get them back, then faultless 10k when he did

Great night as always

Postponed Match
(Week 2 - 11/10/2023) - New Oak A v Duke of Wellington

[NigelS]

Report a bit late but New Oak fall over the line with a 3-2 win over the Bevy

New Oak A 3 - 2 Bevy

Nigel Senior 10,750 - 2,280* Ash Edwards
Ian Lelliott 11,310 - 1,370* Kevin Stoner
Bob Osborne 1,290 - 4,870* Doug Dawson
Marc Chipman 2,300 - 6,080* Brian Muggeridge
Phil Osborne 3,890 - 540* Liam Barber

In leg 1, Nige boldly puts name down. Ash takes him on and looked like a bar billiards player getting to 2k with the aid of a 50-100 split. Nige ruthless in reply, balls straight back and enough in one visit 1-0

Leg 2, Kev Stoner off to see the red windows in Amsterdam next week, must have had that on his mind as broke off with next to nothing. Ian no mercy and wins first go 2-0 and cruising

Leg 3 Doug not many to start with but Bob had no luck trying to get balls back. Doug built a good lead and although Bob had one chance at the end the Bevy get one back 2-1

Leg 4 Marc again bemoaning about the bus and being chucked under it. And also moaning that Southgate should be sacked for not picking Lewis Dunk despite England beating European Champions Italy 3-1 and qualifying with 2 games to spare. This must have played on Chippers mind as despite getting chances he couldnt capitalise and Brian levelled the match with a 6k score 2-2

Leg 5 Dependable Phil to take on Liam in the decider. Phil struggled to settle but nursed his lead throughout and sealed the victory for the New Oak 3-2

Competitive match and good night with the Bevy, may be interesting when we play them up there.
