Match Report - 26th October 2005

Division One:

Shifnal B 2 Broseley A 3
Matt Davies beat Simon Thomas, 72 points to 58, this was a very good match with Simon having a forty plus break to start off with, and Matt coming back with great safety and potting to take the match and put Shifnal 1-0 up. Mick Brezwyn beat Aaron Sparkes, 60 points to 23, both players played well, but Mick finished the stronger and went onto win convincingly and level the match at 1-1. Graham Long beat Dave Peplow, 66 points to 2, Dave didn’t stand a chance as Graham potted well throughout the frame to put Broseley 2-1 up. Rob Wright then beat Carl Walker, 82 points to 42, levelling the match at 2-2, Rob pulled out a game similar to the one he had against Shaun Harris a couple of weeks ago, fantastic potting and safety combined to help him see off Carl quite comfortably in the end. Simon Mcleod beat Nigel Stallard, 47 points to 39, to win the match for Broseley, Nigel went ahead at the start by 20 points and kept that advantage going until the last 4 colours, when Simon potted a great brown, decent blue, fantastic pink along the bottom cushion, then finished straight on the black into the middle, where he missed it, the ball sailed around the table and dropped into the opposite middle bag for him to take the frame.

Anstice D 1 LDS A 4

Anstice C vs Dawley B
Anstice C entertained Dawley B and to those of you that don’t know, Paul Harper is back from a two year break under the wings of Dawley B, and league sponsor Barry Roden of Roden Scaffolding. Main reason for this is in defence of his Shropshire Star Individual crown which has been started back up this year through the efforts of Mick Brezwyn, Nigel Stallard and Angus Way and from what I saw of the game it won’t be long before he is back firing on all cylinders. John Jones gave Anstice the perfect start with a 51 points to 36 win over Gary Clements. Steve Camp won his 6th frame of the season (100% record) and made it 2-0 with a 56 points to 31 win over Kev Jones.

Dickie Oliver made it 4-1 to Bayley, 63 points to 31 against B Easthope.

Bayley Q vs LDS D
Looking for their sixth successive win of the season, Division Three leaders Bayley Q were playing at home against the only other unbeaten team in division three, LDS D. Chris Bates won his fourth game of the season with a 60 points to 23 win over J Evans to maintain his 100% record. Rob Cook carried on his good form beating young Ryan Jackson 71-37 to put Bayley Q two-nil ahead. But after an excellent start, it went down hill from there.

Third on was Chris Fletcher, and all was going well with a sixteen point lead on the brown, but in potting the brown he was unlucky to follow in off and opponent Chris Niblett potted the final four balls to take the frame for LDS. Bayley's Steve Weatherall found himself in a scrappy fourth frame but managed to get sixteen points ahead with just the pink and black remaining. A good snooker from LDS’s Wayne Timmings put the pressure back on Steve, and after failing to escape, potting the pink and black meant LDS had levelled the score at two frames each.

The final frame would decide which team lost their unbeaten record this season, and it started well for LDS with a 30 break from Sean Jackson. Rich Tranter replied with a break of 22, only for Sean to steam off with a break of 27, and then a second break of 30 to clear the table and clinch the match for the LDS team, moving them to second place in the table.
