Master Mariner 2-3 Blue Anchor

**Gary Mechan 2290 - 3210 Matthew Knight
**Mark Scott 4090 - 1760 Rick Cunningham
**Bob Mechan 1510 - 4730 Tony Jenner
**Darren Robins 2630 - 800 Chris Cox
**DJ Robins 3960 - 4570 Joe Oakley

Great team win tonight especially as a real battle at the top to get the balls back. TJ and Joe both making near 4k breaks win getting them back showed what could be done. As usual the Jenneral playing well on a top that really suits him but others struggle on. Joe got them back very early in the decider and we thought he had done enough but DJ came with a late rattle (nearly 3k break), but just failed (like most of my horses) cheers to our hosts for a good night

MSC 1-4 Duke of Wellington

Dave 4730 - 2570 Tupps
Tim 1070 - 10,930 Kevin
Colin 1960 - 2050 Dave
Martin 850 - 3160 Mick
Phil BP - 3480 Tupps

Dave got us off to a good start with his opening break which left Tupps playing catch up and although both had breaks back, neither did much
Tim did well with the break in practice but cocked up right at the start of the match and stood standing for most of the game while Kevin made hay.
Colin should have lost this one by a lot but Dave black pegged after 4.5k which let Colin back in and he could have won but lost because of both our scorer and his own maths
Martin black pegged on 1.5k and never managed to get back into the match
I seem to remember starting really well but then Tupps, playing his second match came back and after a scrappy game I couldn't win so thought of the summer average (actually it wasn't supposed to have touched that bloody stupid black thing. I reckon it was put back in the wrong place).
Really good evening with a load of laughs and banter. Thanks guys, and sorry this is a bit late. Bit of a challenge with the car and being stuck in Eastbourne, AND they didn't fix it.
