Division One.

Terrible performance on what was a big match; we missed an opportunity to close the gap on the team in 4th spot. We just missed to many chances as a team with only really Craig not ever having a chance in his frame. Rich and Mick produced the frame of the night with both players potting very well. Rich had a chance on the last red, which would have put him in front. Once missed Mick never looked like losing. It’s fair to say that we have missed the old boy this season. Maybe now we have moved to a nice table and venue we might be able to persuade him to come back to where he belongs!!!

 Division Two.

Shifnal C V Newport B. The first frame started a little slowly but came to life when Richie Heighway started to pot and forced ahead with a 22 break & won. Frame 2 was a frame of missed chances until Shaun Lane got to the colours & potted enough of them to win 64 - 53.The next frame Chris Lawson potted & scored with almost every visit pulling clear & then knocking in a 31 break to leave Wayne Weeks 55 behind, but he didn’t give up & continued to play still needing 7 snookers. After most of the balls were potted Wayne continued and went on to pot the pink & black to lose by 33 points. Well done Wayne! Frame 4 was a little closer with Colin Gittus & Allan Davies going blow for blow early on until Colin potted a few & eased clear to win 49 - 26. The last frame between Sam Drake & Steve Speeke was about chances taken & chances missed. Sam took his chances & had a 31 break along the way to win 69 - 24.Final score Shifnal C 5, Newport B 0.

Division Three.

After 17 consecutive league defeats & 2 cup defeats, Bayley Z finally got their season up & running with a 3-2 WIN against Eden B!! Paul Rhodes got the better of Manny Singh with a nervy 38-31 victory in the 1st frame. It could have been so much better in the next frame had \"Tugboat\" Benting not given his opponent Michael Mancini an incredible 43 points in foul shots, Michael coming out on top 80-51, had Michael not turned up then Tug would only just have beaten himself on the black!! Tony \"Norway/pink/lilly\"Morgan however got the Z\'s back on track grinding out a very creditable 49-31 win against Dan Morris. Al Francis then took on Chris Morris, but couldn’t\'t maintain his previous good form & eventually got beat 21-57. The last frame was a tense encounter between Iain Atkinson (playing in an unaccustomed 5th place!) & Gurd Singh, Iain kept his nerve though to record a 52-36 win, which set off wild celebrations, which continued throughout the night & into the early hours. Now, in the cold light of day, we would like to offer our sincere apologies to the rest of the teams who where trying to play snooker at the Bayley club, also the staff at the club & more importantly the population of Wellington for the rowdiness that ensued, however these occasions are very rare & might not ever happen again! However with a relatively easy run-in to the end of the season (Anstice, Bayley Jnrs & Bayley D), who knows!! Ps. only joking Anstice!
