MONDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2006
PREMIER A
Away
TULIP ‘B’
Chelmsford’s top flight pool division
it may be, but this match was all about local pride. 2 years ago these 2 teams met in Prem B and it was the B team that earned the bragging rights
with a 7-4 win. But on current form it had to be said the Tulip C were the favourites.
MJ started the night off for the away
side but struggled to find consistency in his positions. But even so when he was given his chance to
open the scoring he took it. 0-1.
Gordon is still in rampant form with
his new cue and cruised through his frame never really looking like being a
loser. 0-2.
But a good start had to come to an end
eventually but it was a surprising loss for Jamie, his first for the Tulip
C. Even though he had chances, Jamie’s
opponent made some excellent shots to shut the big guy out and score the home teams first point 1-2.
Glenn’s form is very consistent however
and he was back into scoring points with another cool, calm performance. However we saw a different game than his
normal one, this time with Glenn favouring the goalkeeping style of covering
pockets! 1-3.
Craig was forced to work for his point
being left with 3 balls sitting pretty but one surrounded by opponents
colours. At one point Craig looked to
have lost the frame when his adversary exploded into a frenzy of pots but
failed to get them all. Craig was now in
a position to finish off but a poor positional shot forced him into making a
tactical shot. His opponent completely
missed a ball and gifted the Tulip C man 2 visits and consequently the frame. 1-4.
Trevor made it 1-5 shortly after with
another round of perfectly executed pots.
Tam wrapped the win up with one singles
left to play with another frame of tactical play and potting prowess. 1-6.
Mike however just missed out when he
rattled his last red in the jaws. His opponent then taking advantage of a clear table to polish off
his remaining 3 balls and the black. 2-6.
Waspy got his first taste of action for
the night pairing with Trevor in the first doubles. Trevor broke off and should really have
cleared from the break. Waspy got his
one and only shot attempting a long pot to the top which rattled but sat near
the pocket. Trevor secured the point on his next visit. 2-7.
Ian had his one and only shot, the
break, which he scuffed off the pack and sent the white flying into the
pocket. The B team managed to pot 5
balls before giving Gordon a go at the table.
8 shots by the Turtle Wax Kid and it was all
over. 2-8.
Glenn & Tam finished the night off
with a win and it was the Tulip C team that are now allowed bragging rights in
the pub.
