Hi Jock, I have just PM'd you the number on the list, but will try to get another contact number for you as there seems to be a digit missing! ::)

[Sir Jock o The Strap]

Jock and The Farmer boy run out victorious. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Jock/Andy 2 Pagey/Shakey 0 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I didn't record the scores, although I'm sure Roz did.

After my table hogging antics in the last round It was big Andys turn for the honors in this round. Good solid 3k in 1st with the break to give us the opener with 4k+ to spare. A good 2k by Andy matched by 2k from myself followed by another 2k from Andy saw of a spirited challenge from Dave and Mark.

Unlucky lads, bring on the final!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;D

Oh my..................... the return of the "smiley brigade"......!! ;D ;D

Well done guys, good luck in the Final! ;)

Congratulations on making it to the Final. Worthy winners from the sound of it. I hope you took a JD off Shakey afterwards. ;)

Actually no mate, I'd forgotten about it, they shot out as soon as game was over with a 'buy you a drink finals night' loosely thrown back to us over the shoulder style. :P :P

No mind tho some people are just born to lose badly!!!! ;D ;D

I hear that Mama & Reaperman won tonight, well done :)

Yes, Kevin and Lorraine beat John and myself 2-1 tonight to give the Finals Night organisers a headache, as the BB Reaper is now in FOUR finals (1st Div Singles; Open Doubles; Mixed Doubles and Team Plate).

We put the Reaper in to bat in the first frame, and he opened with an impressive break which was converted into won leg by 8k to 2k.

The second leg went to "last years runners-up" as the Warrior has very kindly billed us throughout. ;D By about 6k to 3k.

The decider was a nervy affair, mistakes being made early on, but the young reaper and his mama pulled through, in the end Mama's excellent end of table play proving to be the deciding factor.

Worthy winners, and it should make for an interesting and competitive Final.

Well done to Lorraine & Kevin...... who will certainly be very busy on Finals Night......!! ;) 8-)

Bad luck to Tommo & JT, sounds like a good match that could have gone either way..... ::)
