Lewes & District Bar Billiards League

Match Report

Knock-out Cup 2013/14

3 Feb 2014

Dave opened well with a nice 6k break leaving Sandy a mountain to climb, but Sandy kept plugging away unsuccessfully until late in the game when he got the break back, was chasing down the deficit broke down on 2k leaving Dave to take the well earned point but then.....a rush of blood made BBW try a shot round the black peg, felling it to the disbelief of all present, definately a deja vous event and he didn't purchase any of my special tablets!. the bar followed shortly after and Sandy took the 1st game against the play.
Nigel was off early in the 2nd and Bill kept finding ways of losing his breaks regularly, Nigel opened up a 1k lead and kept it for the major part of the game but with 5min to go Bill at last recovered the break and made a nice 3.5k to make the 2nd game go the visitors way despite lipping round the 50 and almost taking the black on the bar, have to say the expressions on warriors face and the rest of his team was a delight to see.
tony and Alec both struggled with the tricky Star top off break Alec was always playing catch up on Tony but didn't recover the break for the whole game and that was enough to give Tony the 3rd game.
Fred had the break but left it short on more than 1 occasion gifting Ian easy openings, which handed the game and match to the fish.
Colin opened the last game with a 2k, henry replied with his own 2k, Colin returned the favour with another 2k leaving both up on a split henry took full advantage and was working on a game winning 3.5k when another peg came to Colins rescue another small break was enough for Colin to take enough time to leave Henry no chance of recovery. Another great evening with the gigglers with plenty of ups and downs and plenty of fun for both sides, Some nice Pizzas from Dave the landlord who sadly will be leaving us at the end of March.
good luck to The Fish in the Final [Colin Southouse]
