New Oak A progress to quarter final of cup, Lesson of the night don't make Bob angry, or maybe do if you want him to win....

New Oak A 3 - 2 Moulescoomb Club

Nigel Senior 2,940* - 280 Phil Reay
Ian Lelliott 5,900 - 900* Tim Scotney
Phil Osborne 1,850* - 3,280 Colin Green
Bob Osborne 3,560 - 2,170* Dave Lee
Marc Chipman 2,010** - 2,080* Mick Moore

In leg 1, the captains played, Nige's break. Got to 1,000 after missing the break a couple time then figuring out it wasn't thin anymore but a bit fat. Then lost the 1,000 managing to white peg a 50-10 split somehow. Balls back for Nige made a couple of 50-100 before playing safe on 2k with a ball down the back. Phil battled to get within 500, then Nige played the clock down forcing Phil to go for 200s but doing that took a black peg out, game over 1-0.

Leg 2, Could hear in my ear Ian saying I bet he puts me on, so I did and he was against Tim. Some solid scoring got Ian nearly 6k. 2-0

Leg 3 Phil just couldnt get going against table owner Colin Green. Mind you neither did Colin. But Phil had more pegs as found it came back off the back cushion rather quick. Colin won to kept them in the game 2-1

Leg 4 Bob playing Dave Lee. Dave gets himself about 1,000 in front. Then Bob gets the balls back. A table that suits Bob is one you have to hit them and this suited Bob. He got up to 2k smashing them in, at which point Tim called a one up that Bob didnt hear, so Bob was called foul for potting two 50s. Bob not pleased, dropped a couple of f-bombs. Captain Nige could not console him as he pointed put there was still 12 minutes to go, but incredible Hulk bob told Nige in no uncertain terms it was not the point. Phil was suddenly dreading the journey back to Hastings. But after turning green and through the red mist Bob channeled his anger into a 3k break and leg and match won for the New Oak. 3-1

Leg 5 Marcus who now 'didnt care' proceeded to play like he didnt. That was until we started taking the piss so he tried at the end leaving himself the 100 hole to beat Mick. He missed it - Mick didnt. So at this point we were thankful for Tim making Bob angry 3-2

So 2 weeks running playing the MSC and they ran us close and with a bit of luck and better scoring they might have beaten us. So New Oak A unbeaten till Christmas, Ian says we are still not good enough to win anything, but what will he say if we beat the Blue Anchor in the new year....probably the same
