TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 2011/12

 

Division Three.

 

 What a start to an evening of keen matchplay and entertainment with Callan Rhodes being matched against his Dad, Paul. Callan broke and the battle began, with neither letting the other get any sort of advantage. Paul eventually getting quite a tidy lead, only for Callan to close in gradually until it was desperation stakes leading to a black ball finish. The roar that went up almost raising the roof when Callan playing in only his first season as a forteen year old in the league sank the black. A great win for him especially beating his Dad into the bargain. Mike Watkins, another young teenager had to try to follow that, whilst playing in only his second league match. Unfortunately he was up against \"Tugboat\" playing more like a \"Destroyer\" with all guns blazing. He weathered the storm and the experience will not deter him from showing better results next season.Ryan Dudley, not up to his usual best was overawed by some resounding potting from Tony Morgan, making it a bit of a job for the following two players to get the result required. Dan Lane putting up a spirited performance once again took the initiative and lead more or less all the way antil the finishing post came up and he was pipped on the black ball finish. Very unlucky and disappointed he will be there next season and a real contender for one of the young players of the League. Ryab Shervey playing well and potting most superbly gave Ian Atkinson a good run for his money, beating him to get the final frame of the evening. A two - three defeat for the Juniors was a little unlucky, but then it is all added experience for a very young, up-and-coming side, who are already thinking about next season. Watch out at the top of the League, that is wehere their sights are set. You have been warned Sir John Bayley Juniors are on the march UPWARDS!!!!!
