Match Report - 23rd April 2003

Divisional Individuals

Shifnal A's John Fallows continued his recent return to form when he beat Anstice A's Neil Price in the final of the annual end-of-season division one individual at Coddon last Wednesday.

John didn't do it the easy way though as he clawed his way back from 43 points down in the final which was reduced to just one frame due to time constraints.

His Madeley opponent looked set to take the title only for John to sink the final black to lift the title for the first time.

In his semi-final John accounted for Neil's brother Keith whilst Neil beat off the challenge of teammate Ian Duffy.

 

The second division final was an all Bayley affair with A team captain Steve Fletcher taking on teammate Chris Morgan-Adams in the best of three final.

And Chris was first out of the blocks, easily taking the first frame as he left his opponent requiring snookers with reds still on the table. Steve replied with a timely run of 30 to take the next and force the decider which proved to be a close run thing.

Indeed, Chris can count himself very unlucky to see the white ball trail in off into the corner pocket after potting the blue, as he would have required only one more ball for victory.

As it was Steve sunk the blue and pink to take the match by two frames to one.

In his semi-final Steve beat the man-in-form on the night, Aaron Sparkes who made a delightful 61 break in his opening round win over Andy O'Brien, whilst Chris accounted for Bayley E's Steve Hoof.

 

And there was more joy for the Bayley in the division three knockout which was won by the C team's Jim Lewis.
