PREMIERE A

HOME

RED LION

Having just recorded two back to back 8 – 3 wins we hoped to push on with a decent win against a Red Lion team languishing at the bottom of the table.

Things started well with both Gordon and then Andy winning to give us a 2 – 0 lead.

Unfortunately MJ was unable to complete a clearance and had to watch his opponent pot six balls and the black for the frame. 2 – 1

Ian did not have to do much for his win as the Red Lion player managed to accidentally pot the black before the frame had even taken shape. Good to see the cats still got his luck ;-). 3 – 1

Mike suffered a similar fate to MJ with the exception of the amount of balls he potted, one. The Red Lion player went on to make a very good clearance. 3 – 2

Rob despite a dry break managed to secure the frame at the next visit with an eight ball clearance. 4 – 2

Craig did suffer a similar fate to MJ. Craig got to the black but snookered himself. Failing to make good the escape he could do nothing but watch his opponent make an eight ball clearance. 4 – 3

Trevor played a solid frame and secured the final singles for a 5 – 3 lead going into the doubles.

Despite Trevor and Andy winning the middle doubles, the pairings of Craig & MJ and Gordon and Rob were unable to secure their frames and the chance of a big win went. 6 – 5

On reflection, if the Red Lion play as well as they did last night on a regular basis, it is difficult to understand why they are at the bottom of the table.

And finally putting a more positive spin on proceedings, that’s now 3 wins in a row with a combined score of 22 – 11.

Let’s keep it going…….
