Redhill Invitational 2024

[billiardsmichael]

To pilfer my Facebook post:

What a day of Bar Billiards for the Redhill team, a terrific all round performance in which they beat all six opponents, with six of the seven players winning 5/6 legs.

Behind them Worthing and Brighton battled it out for the runners-up position and, in a repeat of last year's result, Brighton took the runners up spot - leaving it until the last game to secure the spot.

The final results were as follows:

1. Redhill 33pts

2. Brighton 26

3. Worthing 25

4. West Sussex 20

5. Reading 16

6. Kent 14

7. Mid Sussex 13

Thank you to the Salfords Club for hosting, Tony Cross, Dave & Caroline Jones for running the day and all those who helped pack away the tables, especially Martin Cole & Stuart Mepham who added to the Redhill muscle.

I'll add some more detailed results later and may even pen a word or ten to cure Silents insomnia.

BEST PERFORMANCE

Remarkably, 13 players won 5/6 legs with four of those players going into the last set of fixtures with a perfect record:
Bob Hall lost to Dave Ingram - Dave making enough first time.
Jon Scoones lost to Matt Knight - Matt proudly opening with 9k to give Jon no chance.
Geoff Jukes lost to Dan Wheal - Dan needed the 100 hole and got it for his first win of the day.
Terry Molloy lost to Kyle Ingram - Terry had the break but couldn't get to grips with the table, Kyle producing a mid-frame 4k to take his only frame of the day.

Table 5 Terry Alder 290 v 19110 *Michael Wilson

Well done Michael on your PB in a competitive match - and top score of the day ........ only a matter of time now for that 20k.

[bigtj]

Great day thanks to all that made it happen and to those who worked hard to prepare tables which were a good standard. Great to meet up with some we do not see often enough and a day played with great spirit. Well done to Redhill on their win, they were awesome on the day. Pleased with Worthing performance (although some including me knew they could have done better) only losing one match and that to the winners Redhill.

Well organised and run so thanks to the admin desk and Tony Cross for tirelessly making sure players and scorers were at tables to keep the day running. As usual well looked after by Salfords Club which is a great venue

[cross]

You're quite right Bob. First big score in a comp day though :)

[tommo III]

I seem to recall that Silent had two bites of the cherry (19k's) before finally getting there, so maybe Michael will do the same.

Not sure his 19k was one break though

[tommo III]

I'm tracking him for Surrey ..... our list acknowledges 20k scores, not necessarily in one break.
