Mop beat Dover. Would like to write a report on both games but words cannot express my thoughts. But Dover and I cracked on. Thanks to Steve for chalking but laughing for 3 games put us off a bit.

First game I went off with 9k and tupps played it out for 8k

Game 3 I decided to go first and went off with a rapid 5k but hit a split fat and off tupps balls back and had a kick on second one up he was first to get them back and I thought it was game over but he chubbed his first one up and I killed the game off

Having played the Moulsecoomb early against Nigel must admit I also have nothing to say as I would probably have to as a Moderator ban myself. Just felt for Nigel as the circumstances were ridiculous and I felt embarrassed having won a scrappy affair in the deciding leg.

I beat Chris 2-0 at the Mariner , thanks to Chelle for scoring
I then went on to the Stags Head where, after Stu C initially put his first one up behind, I went on to win 2-0, although a rapid 8k from Stu wasn’t quite enough to catch me in the second game. Had he not ventured up the top several times, could have been a different story, thanks to Chris for scoring.

In reply to KT's post on the team knockout. What can start with 7 balls, then have 5 and end up with 3 after 3 minutes. But then have 8 after a jiggle around your drawers. Nigel has the answer but it's best not to ask.

[StuC]

Before KT beat me in the semi-final I had beaten Joe 2-0 at the Duke of Wellie. Was far from a classic with both players finding the speed of the table tricky at times but Joe really struggled to get to grips with it and a decent break in either leg was enough for me to take the win.

Thanks to Rick for scoring the match and also to Chris for scoring the game against KT.

I lost 2-0 to Rick. Game 1 I went off with nothing, Rick good break to take the leg. Game 2, Rick went of with not a lot, a few goes each and then I got 3k before hitting the 1 up too thin and taking the peg and Rick saw the match out.
Thanks to Joe for scoring.
