Match Report - 31st October 2007

Round One Of The Team Knockouts

Starting at Shifnal this week with the F side playing Maddocks D having to pull back 75 on the handicap, in frame 1 C Petford played F Spragg, Chris took an early lead with some good potting, Fred came back at him, but Chris finished the frame in style winning 69-30, in frame 2 J Briscoe played N Warrender, this time the away player started the better, john never really got into this frame, eventually losing 54-19, in frame 3 Fred Harper played Cheryl Caswell, a very welcome new recruit to our league, in the early part of the frame things were tight and even though Fred played some good safety, Cheryl responded brilliantly, potting some good reds and colours to take an early advantage, Fred replied with some of his own, but it wasn’t enough as Cheryl took the frame with some great pots and safety, to put her side in a very strong position going into the last 2 frames, where Roy martin set about reducing his sides deficit against T O’Neil, which he did to some good effect, knocking in good little breaks to win 93-23, leaving Shifnal captain Chris painter having to win by 40 plus points against Roy Lowe, Roy never allowed Chris many chances and it was Roy who took the final frame and the win for Maddocks.

The Shifnal b side had to concede 140 points on the handicap to Min fats G, in frame 1 matt davies wasted no time in disposing of c davies for the min fats team, knocking in two good breaks of 44 and 51, in frame 2 john fallows faced Wayne weeks, in what turned out to be a tighter affair than the 1st, both players knocking in some excellent reds, but failing to capitalise on their opportunities, john eventually taking the frame 79-34, putting the home side up on the hcap overall, in the next a sparkes took on t marsh, Aaron started the frame off well, compiling a couple of 20 plus breaks to put some early pressure on, t marsh responded with some good potting of his own to narrow the gap to just a few points, but Aaron then pushed on again to open up another point gap to seal the frame 82-36, in frame 4 Shifnal captain nigel stallard took on nick turner, with the home player yet again starting well in the frame to take an early lead, nick turner responded brilliantly, potting some great balls to keep himself in contention, things were nip and tuck going into the remaining colours, and with nick snookered on the pink things looked good for the home player, but nick swerved around the black to pot the pink and then slotted home a great black to win the frame, in the last L knox had to defend a lead of 60 plus on the handicap to see his side home.

In the match between the Bayley A and D teams, it was the A side who narrowly came out on top, having to claw back 65 on the hcap, things didn’t look good for the A side as Dave Dudley put in a great display against M hodson, winning 79-49, in frame 2 D Rhoades gave the D side even more hope beating A burrows 66-27, in frame 3 S Rowley reduced the deficit slightly beating D Williams 68-51 and with the A side going into the last 2 frames 130 behind, things looked bleak, but the loon pulled back 52 points with a great display against an unlucky M beddall 86-34, leaving our newest publisher Steve fletcher having to win by 70 plus, and he did not let his side down, playing brilliantly to take the win on the final pink and put his side through 89-16 against B Aberdeen.
