Up the Ladder we go

[tommo III]

Windmill GG 5, Roffey CC 0.
Result itself does not really tell the tale of an evening of high drama......
First of all our apologies to our visitors for the torrid atmosphere, where a fight broke out between testosterone-fuelled builders in the corner opposite. Tables and chairs flying, amazingly nothing broken. As if the loud effing and blinding wasn't enough. 
The match itself:
Johnny Haigh 1710, Brian Lawson 1010. Johnny spilled 3k on his first visit, and the two players matched each other for shots - and pegs - until Johnny opened up a 600 lead towards the end and that's how it stayed.
Graham Daniels 1310, Jim Balchin 1270. Jim's opening break would have been a beautifully-crafted 8700 - until Jemima stepped in, left an awkward ball behind the 30 hole, went off the side cush and the inevitable happened. Even then it wasn't over as Graham's reply was only 1k and Jim set about his task again and was in front as the bar went, but came off about 270 ahead. Graham potted whites to leave himself a shot at the 200 to win but it pulled up short. Jim missed the 100 and Graham got it right next time to steal the frame.
Michael Wilson 7810, Dave Sands 1910. Sandsy started well with 1k, and Michael took a while to get going. After a few visits each, Michael burst into life mid-game and two good breaks sealed it for the young maestro.
Clive T 6890, John T 560. Back to a case of spilled breaks, as JT on just under 2k left a ball behind the 10 hole and missed going straight up. My reply was only 2k - but kept - and it was anyone's game for a while until a couple of breaks containing both good and bad shots and an element of luck in getting the balls back clinched it for moi.
Paul Jobbins 9780, Tony Clasby 860. PJ was on fire in the last game with a now-healed bridging arm, and might have topped 10k with a last-ball 400 (his forte) but thought better of it !
Thanks to the CC's for being good sports, and we wish them all the best for Xmas and the New Year. Hope Jim's ailing doggy recovers soon.

Steve    7090     Steve    1790
Moose    240     Chelsea  6470
Pete      5710     Dave     1350
John     6250     Keith       400
Twig    12650    Steve         90    (4 player )


First up a "Steve Derby". Steve on but off early giving Sniffer  a good chance but he was also
Off quick. A few more goes each and Sniffer got them back and set about getting some points 
On the board. A terrific 5k break put him in total control of the frame. A few more shots each
Break back again for Steve who played to the Bar.

Second on Moose and Chelsea. Chelsea as always slow but very steady accumulating points.
Ticking the points off to mooses frustration. Up the top but balls back the clock running down
And Lee like a cat on hot bricks waiting for a chance. Eventually Brian had to tap up but had
5.5k and 13 mins gone. Time against him Moose on but off Chelse ground out a few more to
The delight off his teammates and off for a  drugs test.

Pete and Dave on next and Dave going along OK was unlucky to break down. In form Fishy
Next to get them back and made a useful 3k. Game got a bit bogged down till Pete made another 
Telling break to run out a good winner. 

4th up Me and Noggs ( we always seem to play each other). Keith going along nicely on 2k but
Whipped 100 and break was lost. I was next to get them back and at 2k played a poor shot and
Off. Deja vous for noggs going well till another whipped 100 took the other peg. One good shot
Balls back and 3k break to the Bar for frame. 

Last but not least Captain Twig and Steve again (4 player). Twigs break and a superb nearly 9k
Break put the frame to bed. No luck for Steve and Twig added some more for an impressive 12k.
A roar from the crowd and followed Chelsea for his drug test too🤣🤣.

A great night with the Plough plenty of laughs and banter. Table played superb Twig was brilliant 
And Chelsea said there's life in the old dog yet. Not sure Moose feels the same.
