Would like to go to the Limeburners Pub to watch the match but can anyone tell me what the accessability is like as far as steps go ???

It's a typical country cottage-type pub, Jason. Entrance is through a barn-type door with a metal latch. You should find it okay if you take a slow and careful approach, the main hazard really is for anyone tall in banging their head on the way in. Once inside you'll find its all oak beams and pillars, but there should be plenty of room to spread out - I've yet to be in there when it's been packed. A bit of a trek to the (outside) toilets though.

Having said that, it's a nice friendly pub, with a good landlord (Chippy) who loves his bar billiards.

The Toilets are inside the pub, you pass through a corridoor between the bar and kitchen.

and there is a step or two going to the toilets, different floor levels I seem to remember but a great old fashioned pub if your not too tall ;D ;D ;D

Our Match is due to be played on 21st July 2008

We are playing the first leg of our Watney Mann Quarter Final that night so won't be able to come along....... but good luck!! ;D

[Duncan Disorderly]

Duncan Disorderly & TTO oops I mean Steve Beach & Suzanna Vaux beat Kevin Hall & Sandra Race 2-0:- table took a bit of getting used to but once we did Myself & Kevin looked like we knew how to play the game aided & abetted by our respective partners after a very scrappy start. ;)

[TTO]

I concentrated for at least 5 minutes, what more do you want ;D Thank you to the 2 scorers ;D ;D ;D

Congratulations to Suzanna and Steve (aka TTO and DuncanDisorderly) on making a County Final. 8-)

Unlucky to Kevin and Sandra, so close but I'm sure your time will come.

[Chunky Monkey]

Well done steve and Suzanna. a very good win on not an easy top. I wont tell you how much i opened up with in the friendly match against me dad. Yes i will 11k break - boo hoo why does it take me so long to adapt to a table?
Very well done and best of luck in the final.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Thanks Kev, I think they call that s#ds law, :-/ It was a table that needed to be attacked & we were both over cautious in the first game & I think the D needs a bit of attention it knocked us both out of our stride when the cue ball kept moving around, we"ll try & do you proud in the final just have to keep my partner in check thats all. ::)

Yes i think you are right S#ds law indeed. and you are also correct on attacking it. that is what i done when i played dad and had no problems with the break one up and split, everything went.

I am sure you will do sandra and i proud, will hopefully be over to see the final when it is decided who, where and when it is played.

[TTO]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm keep me in check, you have no chance ;D

Sir KT and Lady H have made it to the Final of the Sussex Mixed Doubles, inf which they will play Steve Beach and Susannah Vaux (aka DuncanDisorderly/TTO.)

The second Semi was played tonight at the Handcross Club, the Three Horseshoes pair being up against Mickey Pope and Sheena Wood of the Stadium. [edited]

In the first leg it was mainly KT, as he was able to settle into a routine and finished with 9k on the scoreboard. The second leg was different, with Mickey and Sheena holding onto a thousand lead for most of the game - until KT got the balls back right at the end and was able to finish on a 4k break.

An interesting evening, with the spectators staying on afterwards for numerous games of 31's long after the guests of honour had gone.
And yes, KT, some food did eventualy come out but not until 11.20pm . ;D

Tommo,

Point of order here. Mickey and Sheena represent the Stadium not the Albion.

:P

Thanks Doug,
It was after midnight when your roving reporter posted that and he was dog-tired. :P
Duly amended.

Not yet Dave. Nigel`s left it to both pairs to come up with a fair & suitable venue. I`ll post the details on here when it`s arranged

[Duncan Disorderly]

Have you anywhere in mind Kev

[SirKT]

I suppose we could play it at the Loci. Both you and Hayley play it regularly.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Not too sure what the situation is @ Loci as it hasn't long been re-covered & they didn't make a very good job of it + it's not a very good viewing table as we are expecting a sell out crowd.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Would you have any objections to the Woolpack in Fishbourne I haven't played there for yonks + it's a nice top (so I've heard) with decent viewing?

[SirKT]

All being well, the final will be played at the Marquis of Granby at Sompting on Monday 22nd Sept.
Just waiting for confirmation from the pub.

[JB]

Was at the Marquis last night and have confirmed 22nd was ok

[SirKT]

Thanks Jean, see you there

[Chunky Monkey]

Congratulations Lady H and Sir Kt in winning the mixed doubles last night

[TTO]

Congratulations ;D
Cheers for a quality night ;D

It was a good final, played out in front of a dozen people, and well worth Margo and I travelling down to spectate.

First game was won by Lady H and Sir KT by not much more than a thousand, and Steve (aka Duncan Disorderly) went away in the second leg with a fine break of nearly 4k without looking like missing. However KT was able to overhaul this and eventually rack up 8k in the game thanks to splitting 50/100 from quite a way back, and Lady H adding with some nice angled shots into the 100 at the end.

A gutsy performance from D/D and TTO, well done on making the Final and congrats also to the new Champions. 8-)

[SirKT]

Thanks to everyone that came along last night, especially Reaper & Tommo for scoring ;)
Hard luck to Steve & TTO, but well done on reaching the final.

A special well done to Lady H :-*, this is her sixth doubles title (5 mixed & 1 ladies) in the last year. Must be some kind of record.

Thanks to the Marquis for their hospitality, sure to be a good venue this season.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Yes well done SirKT & Lady H on a fine victory, it certainly was an adventure partnering TTO but great fun ;)

[bigtj]

Congrats to KT and Lady H, sorry could not make it but only evening I will see her indoors this week due to both diaries being full.
Glad to see new venue used and look forward to receiving enteries for this seasons Sussex comps so we can push forward what turned out to be a good comp.
