Week 15 League Cup Results

[Sir Jock o The Strap]

Brewers follow big Nige's prediction and book a place in the final with 4-1 victory at the Stand Up Inn.

Lex Schlup 1160 Peter Hall 1660
A good opener from papa hall, who went of with just over a 1000 break and that was the difference in the game. Lex cme back well but just couldn't get in front. 1-0 ;D :(

Terry Gasson 1060 Sandra Race 1890
Sandra against the break and really well, ole Terry knocked over more pegs than he wanted to, singularly didn''t matter, collectively could have made a difference. Sandra never really under pressure. 2-0 ;D ;D :(

Chris Farrow 1760 Adam Bateup 2260
Adam off early on the break and a fairly close match all the way through, Adam got the break back more than Chris did but neither player really scored heavily from them. Adam comfortable win to give us the match. 3-0 ;D ;D ;D >:(

Andy Guy 1960 Andy F Wright 900
With the tie won and with the pressure off big Andy still stuggled all through this one, and never really showed his ability's, the other Andy plugged away to take a good win albeit a far from confortable scalp. 3-1 ;D ;D :( ;D

Tony Ratcliffe 0 (b/p) Richard Jeffrey 6860
And onto the last with yours truly, of with 1800 on the break, Tony straight back in with 2400, we both messed about abit scoring nothing till Tony brought a ball all the way back down onto the black, I played two shots to get the break back and ran the table out for 5k+ to win. 4-1 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :(

Table was a little challenging, :P slight left hand roll all over, :o break was lovely as was one up and 50-100 split, same for 50-10 if you had the fortitude to go for it. :o Bad luck Tony with black peg. Well played my guys and gal! :P Great round of pizza's on the food front with 3 to choose from. Superb hospitality from Tony and his guys.

Wonder if Nige got any of his other predictions right? ;D ;D 8-)

CKRBL 1 - 4 Sportsman

Wins for myself, Dave, TJ and Colleen

Dilly got the one for CKRBL

Very tough table tonight, only one able to play it as usual was Dave with a 7.5k final score. Very whippy pockets!!

CKRBL 1 Sportsman (Eight Bells) 4

Dilly Williamson 3,300 - 1,220 Colin Mansfield
Colin opened with about 700 but then struggled in his first ever off-the-spot game. Dilly played a solid game to win comfortably. 1-0 :(

Ted "The Bear" Stringer 2,330 - 2,410 Henry Brooks
Ted struggled to start with giving H the chance to gain a lead, but neither player ever really got going. Ted pulled the game back at the end and led briefly when the bar dropped, but H kept his nerve to pot the last few balls and level the match. 1-1 ;)

Derek Taylor 300 - 7,580 BB Warrior
A solid start from me and with Derek having no luck I built up a 3k lead. Eventually, after about 12 minutes, Derek got the break back with plenty of time to catch me, only to put the balls down 4 times. :o I gratefully accepted the gift and touched up 4.5k later when the bar was about to drop. 1-2 8-) ;D

Mark "Shaky" Coles 930 - 3,810 Big TJ
Shaky pegged his opening 3k break and Tony was quick to take advantage of this to build up a solid lead. Shaky played some great shots after that, but lost as much as he scored along the way to give TJ a comfortable win and maintain his 100% off-the-spot record this season. 1-3 ;D ;D ;D

Peter Edwards 90 - 1,440 DA-DM
Colleen lost her opening break when she left the red ball jammed against a peg with nowhere to go. Fortunately Pete wasn't able to take advantage and Colleen showed a great range of shots after that, including her 2 cushion "Jersey Special" to pot a ball behind the 10 hole, to build up a lead. Pete was struggling to get back on terms when he played an attacking shot up the middle of the table which took the black peg out...... game over. 1-4 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Enjoyable evening with plenty of laughs and banter...... a good win for us as it is never easy to beat the legion on their home top. ;D

Not enough to catch the Droops who also won 4-1, good luck to them in the off-the-spot final. ;)

[DA-DM]

notsomuch a 'jersey special', it's my 'sooperdoopersafety'. it gets me out of trouble and well away from the black peg.......... 8-) ;)
