Brewery Tap 4 -1 Albion A

Tap stay in contention with victory over the Albion.
This is how the bar billiards went

Richard Wooton 20,340 - 910* Doug Dawson
Chis Reeves 19,730 - 2,140* Jean Brackenridge
Gareth Lloyd 19,190 - 0* Alan Brackenridge
Marc Chipman 2,140 - 10,530* Bella Stoner
Nigel Senior 17,800 - 1,900* Caroline Retfalvi

Game 1 - Doug left the break short on 910. Richard made his 3rd 20k by running out the rest of the table. 1-0

Game 2 - Jean made 2,140 in 2 visits before Reevesey got them back. A quick fire 19k break followed 2-0

Game 3 - Alan never settled and although Lloydy had 3 visits he still made 19k+. 3-0

Game 4 - Bella took on Marc and left the balls ver awkward after a 2k start. Bella retreived the balls and got to 5,500. Marc missed his 2nd opportunity and let Bella back in for another 5k to make a very good 10k score. 3-1

Game 5 - Caroline made 1,900 off 2 breaks before nigel got a chance at the break. 8k and 9k breaks from Nigel made it a 4-1 win for the Tap

And this is how the darts went

Nigel & Chris v Jean & Bella. The Barneveld and Montoya of darts took on the Albion ladies. Chris & Nige were peppering the 20's and were soon down to a double but were struggling to take it out. Bella left Jean double top but she missed it by the widthe of the wire. Nige was left with 9 and got 3 but missed the double 3. Bella missed her opportunity and the crowd erupted as Reevesey took out double 3 that I set him up on. 1-0

Rich & Gareth v Sandra & Alan. The unbeaten pairing of Ric and Gareth started off steadily, but Gareth picked up the pace when he started to get all three darts in the scoring zone by his 4th or 5th visit. Gareth also finished it off in style with 10,0,D5 to take out a 20 outshot. Rich was not so confident as he asked Gareth to bust after 2 darts as he did not fancy being left an odd number. Lloydy cooly slotted it in the D5.

Marc & Caroline v Kev & Doug. Caroline subbing for the Tap and as she and Marc lost this leg we are going to claim it void to ensure a 2-0 win for the Tap. Kev, whose darting career has been riddled with dartitis, had to adopt a rather unique style - but it worked as he polished off the leg with a double 4.

We will play the Albion last match of the season and I am look forward to the reamtch of bar billiards....and darts

Windmill C 3 Dyke A 2

Interesting match at the Morgue known as the Windmill, good company, banter a plenty followed by chicken and chips. Still no worthwhile draught bitter, but at least the guinness lasted the evening. No heating so bloody cold, and table a bit on the tricky side with difficulty getting the one up not to go right, those who settled into their game and mastered playing the ball from the one up as it laid faired better than those persevering with the split. Another wicked kick for yours truely.

Windmill all breaks. Colin Smith beat TJ. Gina Sherratt won the dometic battle against Charlie Cooper. Dave Anscombe beat Chris Tupper. Kevin Simmonds beat Arthur Brewster to set a captains last leg. Bill Kerr opened with around 3k, Mick Winder felt kind and pegged opening break, and also gave Bill break back. Bill no mistake so Windmill ran out winners 3-2 to keep up pressure oat top of Div One.

Stadium B 1 - 4 Wellie 4

Game 1. Kim 980 - 3200 Nick. Nick played a steady game against Kim, who, with a bit better luck would have scored quite a few more points. 0-1
Game 2. A(?) Immerson 830 - 2140 Pete. Neither really got hold of table. 0-2
Game 3. Vince 0 - 10770 Mark. Mark played out of his skin. He had played KT on this table on Monday, so he was more used to it. 0-3
Game 4. Spencer 4160 - 420 Garry. With the game won, our glorious leader decided to rest me and play himself. The 2007 Lower Div Master showed his class and gave Garry no chance. 1-3
Game 5. Keith 840 - 6090 Tim. Tim rounded our win off with a good display against the Ox. 1-4

[NigelS]

Well done to the Montreal - terrific score from Bob.

Also well done to my dad - 10,770 is his highest ever Brighton league score and his first over 10k in a league match

Well done indeed to Mr Senior Senior. ;D

[bigtj]

Well played Mark, shows all we can keep improving with age. This 10k has been on the cards as you have been playing consistently over a period of time.

Duke of Wellington A 5 Brewery Tap B 0
or Who's next to knock over the black peg?

Table not at it's easiest last night.

Dave B 1870 I Collins 1440
Just as Dave was catching up the opening deficit, he knocked down the black peg.
Undeterred he carried on scoring regularly to take the lead and hold on for victory.

I don't know if the league has a most improved player award but I can't think of anyone who deserves it more than Dave on this season's performances.

Brad W 4060 Chris Pemberton 3290
Brad opened up with 2k then couldn't score in his next 4/5 visits. Chris was struggling just as much including losing a 1k break. Brad found some consistency to hold on to win despite a late rally from Chris.

Brian B 3040 P Reay 220
Brian had real difficulty scoring any points then just as he caught Phil up, Phil hit the black peg. From then on Brian coasted to victory.

Chris P 1950 R McGuiness 1020
I didn't make much of an opening break then when I got the break back, I knocked the black peg over with my cue as I placed the red on the spot! I started scoring steadily again and managed to stagger to an unconvincing win.

2nd walkover win of the season for Jamie T gives us a 5 - 0.

Reg has certainly started a trend for black pegs at the Wellie but at least none of last nights cost the match!!!!!
