Well I am not sure how we got away with this one but the Brewery Tap A beat the Romans B 3-2 at the Romans to stay on top.

Chris Cox 630* - 10,610 Gareth Lloyd
Bob Thomas 3,720* - 2,160 Richard Wooton
A.Ishag 1,050* - 990 Marc Chipman
Roy Marsh 1,560* - 7,860 Nigel Senior
Colin Green 280* - 2,280 Chris Reeves

Game 1 - Chris off early and Gareth responded with a killer break in what was by far the best performance of the night. Lloydy now played 15, won 15.

Game 2 - Bob made a steady opener of 2k, and Richard got the break back buit missed the one up only just behind. Bob was able to get the break back and to level the match 1-1

Game 3 - Not sure of the lads name but on debut for the Romans against Marc. He built a 500 point lead but went through the black peg. Marc then made a 200 or 300 point lead in what was a very scrappy affair, but it looked like he would squeak home with a score of less than 1k. However it was to be 2-1 to the Romans as a couple of balls went down the 100 for a 60 point win.

Game 4 - Roy was off cheaply and Nigel settled in with a 4k break, further breaks were added by Nigel to score close to 8k and setup what was to be a shocking decider...

Game 5 - Colin went off with 2k, and after a few goes Chris finally got the balls back, but missed his first split very fat. Colin back on and managed to just keep his score but was now 4k ahead with little time left. Chris did get the balls back but the Tap felt their fate was sealed when he left the one up short - but he was probably chasing too many on a not very quick scoring top. Then Colin did the unthinkable. Still well over 4k up a ball was near the 100 hole and Colin decided to go up the middle....the right hand drift took out the black peg, and the bar dropped shortly afterwards. 3-2 to the Tap.

The Romans will have a chance of revenge next week in the cup, but there is no doub they should have beat an underperforming Tap side.

Windmill C 3 Montreal 2

TJ 7770 W.Pryor 920
Wayne off after missing the break, TJ amassed 2k lead and further breaks of2k ensured win.

G.Sherratt 2150 D.Robbins 2740
D opened with just over1k. Gina off at about 1k, D got himself into a lead which Gina never closed on. If D had kept other scores would have been more convincing win.

D. Anscombe 7140 S.Byrne 700
S never managed to keep scores he did amass and Dave after a shakey start played well to ensure the win.

A.Brewster 2040 G.Meachan 3260
Gary lost opening break, Arthur in but pegged 3.5k. Gary back on and scored a steady 3k to make sure.

Bill Kerr 6060 B.Meachan 3440
A good last game with Bob opening with 1.5k, Bill got braek back but broke down on 1.3k. Bob got another 1.5k which he lost and then another 2k to put him ahead. Bill got break back and played to bar dropping when touched up with enough to give Windmill win.

Entertaining evening finished with chicken and chips. Table played very well and tension to the last balls.

Dyke B 2 Wellie B 3

1. Moppy 3170 - 4640 Nick. A scrappy first game with neither getting hold of the table. 0-1
2. Terry M 4280 - 8010 Tim. I didn't see much of this game as I talking to ex Tap B player Dan Davis. 0-2
3. Terry R 13230 - 1310 Pete. Pete started well but came off on about 1k. Terry went on and killed the game with a 10k+ break. 1-2
4. Terry C 4470 - 3320 Mark. Mark struggled with some bad luck and should have won. 2-2
5. No player 0 - Garry Frizzell. Garry, as captain decided to play him self in the game with no opposition. 2-3

A good night with all the usual Dyke B banter. A shame Micky Hall was in bed with a bad cold/flu.

Other result.

Kendal 3 - 2 Dyke A. Well done to Dave Richings on winning his 3rd(?) game of the season beating Chris Tupper 2340 - 390.

TJ and team, thanks for a very welcoming night at the Windmill.

Looks like Lloydy is flying, Nige would it be possible to update the rankings when you get all the scores through when you get some free time. Thanks Gaz.

As you could see from those results from Terry not one of my better nights. Were my rough estimates i gave you pretty close?

[Alan Messer]

Stadium A 4-1 winners against the Albion.

Great start by the Albion Alan Brackenbridge started off game 1 with a game wining break of 9K,

The Stadium though rallied with wins for Brian Dave and Chris and finally the captain Micky Pope. Yes I was the one who played Alan.

May I say well done to Ath Ishag of the Romans B for winning his first ever league game and against a premier player at that, bit scrappy by the looks of it, but came back from knocking down a black peg to win.
I know he only started playing in any form around December, so we have another new recruit to our game, managing over 1k at his first effort.
