[Dunplaying]

Southwater CC ‘A’ 3 Dun Horse 2

Mel Blake 4230 Stuart Hope 2370
Stuart started off with just over 1k and kept adding whilst Mel kept knocking pegs over. With just enough time however, Mel got the break back and rattled in about 4k to take the frame.

Tony Franks 4560 Colin Bolton 2380
Capt Colin made a bit of a mess of the break letting Tony on the table early. Tony surprisingly came off at about 1200. Colin launched a fight back and with a couple of breaks managed to get a couple of hundred in front. Tony managed to get a break going and made the game safe.

Ray Manser 3480 Grant Hope 1130
Similar game to the last one with Grant and Ray reasonably close for half the game before Ray managed to pull ahead.

Tony Temple 1280 Dave Simmons 4220
Dave not too comfortable to start, managed to get a couple of breaks going later on. Tony just had one of those games where nothing went right.

Keith Newman 3190 Scott Hope 3660
Scott started with about 1k, Keith followed with about 800. Scott managed to pull out quite a comfortable looking lead before Keith managed to get a break going in the closing stages, pulling back to within a couple of hundred. Scott was on the table when the bar dropped and came off with another 400. Keith being too far behind, potted the last ball in the 200….. because he could! ;)

Probably a fair result for the evening with a couple of games that could have gone either way on a table that was straight enough in the right places.
Some good chat and tales of Grant & Scott’s exploits in Spain, rounded off with a very nice chilli. ;D

The Crown v Alfold SC

Mmmmmm where to start ::)

Proably best to focus on the game rather than the 'B' word for now.

First up the two skippers, Rick versus the Major. It was a slow start for both players with neither scoring particularly highly, but Major just doing enough to edge in front. There was a lot of pegging out and missed balls from both players until Rick put together a break of 1.7K as the bar dropped, which was enough to take the game.

The Crown 1 Alfold SC 0

John versus Robin, Robin broke and pegged out :'(, John responded with a reasonable score. Then a dull period with balls tight to the bottom cushion before Rob hit a useful 2K, however, not enough as John came back with the same score from his next visit. Unfortunately for John he let Rob back in who hit a match wining 950 to clear the balls.

The Crown 1 Alfold SC 1

Sparrow versus Garry, Gaz struggled with the break, but Sparrow could not take advantage. Lots of ball pushing and very nip and tuck, but Sparrow was doing enough to edge ahead. Gary then found a little form to hit a useful 1K and with Sparrow fluffing on his next visit hit another 1K with the bar dropping to take the game.

The Crown 1 Alfold SC 2

Dave versus Trevor, Trevor took an early lead with a reasonable break, Dave made no impact on his first visit letting Trevor move further ahead. The game then steadied itself with each player hit modest scores before Dave's experience showed and he hit 2K. Trevor struggled to win the break back allowing Dave to capitilise winning the game for the Crown.

The Crown 2 Alfold SC 2

Last game and the pressure was on Hugh and The Minor to win this match for their Teams pride. Oh was this evident ::). Minor took an early lead with Hugh pegging out after hitting 1K, Minor than missed with his next visit letting Hugh back in with another 1K before missing the ball and losing his score again. Each player was struggling but Minor managed to keep his nose in front. Hugh then came back as the bar dropped needing about 300 for the game. He dug in and got to within 100 of the Minor before leaving two balls up. The Minor steadied himself to pocket both balls to win the game, set and MATCH ;D

The Crown 2 Alfold SC 3

R Padfield 3780 M Greening 1440
J Thayre 3210 R Burgess 3644
C Barrow 1860 G Fishburn 3480
D Sands 4880 T Goacher 2080
H Fowler 1060 C Greening 1270

OH Joy did Alfold SC gloat ;) no, of course we were very gracious in victory 8-)

A pleasant evening and not too much banter, though there may have been a few smirks on the Alfold lads faces. The Crown lads were great in defeat, though non the less a bit fed up.

Good food and beer, what more can I say apart from YES YES YES ;D (No mention of the 'B' word, how controlled am I)

[RP (R.I.P.)]

Firstly, well done the Alfold Club on your great win 8-)

Looks like no one want`s to win the league, as we slipped up as well ::)
