PREMIER A
AWAY
THE WOOLPACK
A return to an old hunting ground here
for many of the current Tulip C players as they travel to The Woolpack for the
penultimate league match of the 2006/7 season.
With many old friends and for some, old team-mates, making up the
opposition a good fun night was to be on the cards. With this added rivalry, comes
extra pressure and at this delicate stage of the season every point counted for
both teams. The Woolpack are not in the
running for any real chance of a top 2 finish in the division but are also not
in any real danger of relegation.
However the Tulip C are still in the race for 2nd
place albeit having only a very slim chance of getting it after the last few
weeks performances.
But it was to be the Tulip side who
came out of the blocks running taking a 4-0 lead with Ian battling through,
Glenn making an 8 ball clearance on his first visit, Gordon stealing victory
from the jaws of defeat and Jamie proving too strong for his opponent. The home
side got themselves back into the game with Captain Paul taking advantage of
MJ’s missed opportunities. Trevor sailed
past his opponent who put up only mild resistance before Craig failed to
capitalise on his opportunity despite a simple finish. Mike completed the singles for the Tulip side
with a decent clearance after his opponent failed to take his chance. With the Tulip C already the match winners by
the end of the singles by a 2-6 score-line it was all about bonus points.
However Ian missed a chance to clear the table after the home side
fouled off the break and Craig didn’t get a chance to play after the Woolpack
player succeeded where Ian failed.
Trevor & Glenn also had their chance but a miscue from Trevor when
he was looking to clear up gave the Woolpack pairing a chance to take control
of the table and went on to win a tactical battle. The final doubles saw Jamie & Mike pair
up for the first time and again it was to become a tactical battle. The Tulip pair won the frame after they put
the black behind a group of opposition object balls and watched the Woolpack
player sink it!
