Horseshoes A 2 - Stadium 3

Kev Hall 480 - 6440 Geoff Jukes
Geoff opened with a 4500 break, but then the balls remained down the bottom with little hope of retrieval by both players.
Jim Greenstead 3860 - 4320 Tony Lewis
Closest of mathces, with both guys having many chances to take the leg.
Chris Lawman 760 - 7080 Grant Tully.
Grant opened with a couple, I got the balls back but whipped one out of the 100 and pinned. Lots of play at the back of the board until Grant got them back and made a 5K break.
Rick Dewdney 9340 - 5660 Martin Smith
Rick proved to us that the table was ok with an opening break of 9340, Martin played out the rest of the time.
Stu Mepham 630 - 110 Mark James
Mark was gunning for the highest away break and looked on course until going to the back of the board. He missed a ball behind the left 30 while on 11500 break.

A good evening all round, nice food, and good company.

Marquis B 3 Three Horseshoes B 2

A close match which gave Three Horseshoes B hope of survival.

Nick Brown v Chris Lucas
Nick was always in control of this game 1-0

Paul Barnett v Barry Squires
Again Barney in control of affairs losing 2 big breaks of over 5k but still did enough to beat Barry 2-0

Tony Burgess v Myself.
Off quite cheaply but managed to stay in front of Tony but Tony was catching me in the end. 2-1

Neil Higgins v Adam Squires
A super display of controlled bar billiards from Adam. Once again Neil was chatching Adam when the bar went 2 mins short. 2-2

Gary Ridley v Dave Millard
Gary also in front even though Dave was playing some super bar billiards and at last we are seeing what a great player he was and will be next season. 3-2
