TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 2011/12

 

Division One.

 

Disappointing result for the home team after a good away win last week. Things started brightly with Danny just edging out Lee Barker. The next 3 frames could have gone either way but the Broseley lads held their nerve better toward the end and took all 3. John Banks potted really well in a scrappy frame, which suited him better than the free flowing Craig Baugh we saw the week before. 4-1 on the night could have been 3-2 the other way but fair play to the Broseley lads

 

 

 

Division Three.

 

Bayley Q vs. Dawley C. This was always going to prove a tasty affair after a close contest in the first half of the season, and with Dawley C currently in 3rd spot and the Bayley Q 1 frame behind in 4th spot in the division. With all to play for, frame 1 saw Rob Cook once again taking on Jamie Mills, neither player could get flowing so a tight encounter unfolded. Rob was very unlucky to see his shot on the pink bounce back out of the middle pocket, leaving Jamie to coolly seal the frame win 37-23 for the Dawley lads. Frame 2 saw another familiar pairing of Chris Durham vs. Luke Edwards, and it was Chris who seized the initiative punishing any mistake, eventually winning 66-13 to tie the match at 1-1. Frame 3 saw Lee Newton vs. Chris Gifford, with Lee pulling out an early lead things looked to be going Bayleys way, but a gutsy fight back including some good potting and the ever expected high standard of Chris\'s safety play had edged him in front at the back end of the frame. Neither of these two know when they are beaten and so it proved once again as Lee followed a pot on the pink with a nerve jangling \"fishing tackle\" long rest deciding pot on the black to win 73-60. Frame 4 the 3rd dual pairing between these teams as Steve Weatherall took on Andy Shaw. Andy got into his stride quicker, playing some assured snooker to open up a 19-point advantage with 1 red remaining. Steve who knew this frame was vital took a leaf out of Lee\'s book, with a mixture of improved safety and potting to come back, winning on the pink 54-39, clinching the match win for the Bayley. This was just as well with frame 5 seeing Spencer Clarke unable to find the answers against a fully in control Sean Cross sinking the majority of the pots to win 64-18 reducing Dawley's deficit. This important narrow 3-2 win for Bayley Q levels their frames won in the division, therefore helping the chasing pack in the race for 3rd spot.
