Unfortunately due to illness Stu M has had to concede the match to me. I will therefore be playing Grant in the first round with start time moved to 8.30

Boball 2 Steve 0
The wellie table played well today and 10k and 12k from Boball was enough to take the game 2-0 Steve unlucky to not get the rub of the baize but always a gent

Nigel 2 moppy 0
Moppy opened with 4.8k but Nigel replied with 8.8k and touch
And game 2 Nigel off on 2k but got them back and made sure after moppy came off forcing a 50

Excellent evening and onto the next round

I beat Grant 2-1 at the Blue Anchor.

Grant won the toss and put me in. I broke down on 3.5k, GT was first to get them back but was off at 5k, which allowed me time to get another 3k for the leg.
Into the second and GT only started with 1k, I got them straight back but off again at 3.5k. Grant then got a 6k break to go 1-1.
Into the decider and I won the toss, went first and played it out for 19,900 without missing a 100 split. Grant put another pound but whipped his first split to end the chase.

Well. What can I say. I knew it was all over when I done the split four times, hence full on foul.

Tuppers, then quite rightly gave me a good thrashing and had the break in the second round, so a fat a complet



Go Tupps go! I deserve it from the other night at The Caxton.

I bt Matthew 2-0 at the Bevvy tonight, table played well but Matt had no luck at the top.
Coxy then beat Phil 2-1 , 17k in the first game.

I then had to play Alan B down the Moulscomb club, didn’t know what to expect with this top but was pleasantly surprised.
Al came off on 3.5k and I replied with 8k. Second game I opened with 7k and left a one up short. Al was on target to catch me when a double kiss sent a ball through the peg, game over

[SirKT]

Joe beat Doug 2-1

Thanks for the results everyone - draw sheet updated

How does everyone feel about playing quarter finals and semi-finals on the same Wednesday, using one of the upcoming competiton nights? Last year played them on two separate comp nights - Tupps might need a lift from someone though if he is brilliant
