TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 2011/12

 

Division One.

Bayley B came back from the dissapointment of a 5 nil away defeat at Anstice with a good 4-1 in against the Bayley E team. Ben Sewell wasnt\'t at his normal flowing best but with a bit of good fortune and a good finish had enough to get past Andy O Brien. Craig Baugh and Tom McDonald was a scrappy frame but Craig always had his nose just in front and took the frame on the Blue. Kev West knocked in a good 25 which could have been a few more but for missing a routine blue into the middle bag in his frame against Dave Beyer but the lead just kept in tact as Dave couldn\'t quite get himself back into it and Kev took the frame on the Blue. Dickie Beddall rolled back the years and played superbly to beat Dave France with a couple of great long pots and steady scoring. Last up was Ali jones who got a consolation point on the board for the E team easily seeing off Danny Oliver.

 

on a perfect running table (i wish) this was a closely fought contest. the 1st frame was a touch 1 sided with lee missing a few chances that john punished. frame 2 was a hour long epic with both players showing some great safety, Matt finally running out with the win. with the score at 2 nil to the visitors up stepped eden\'s cappo to stop the rot. he did just that with some good pots and some good run of the balls. frame 4 was 1 of the best frames we\'ve seen for a while with richie jones leaving angus needing snookers with 2 reds left on the table. But Angus never gave up and after a few snookers and free balls got himself into a position to win the frame. calmly clearing up all the colours to leave himself a black down the rail for a remarkable comeback...... it rattled in the jaws and was left for Rich to calmly cut back the black into the corner pocket for a frame that had all our hearts pumping. the decider was a nervy affair that ended in craig beating lynsey with some good run of the balls just at the right time for the eden player. 3-2 to eden the final result. well played lads

 

Steve Adams got the home-side off to a great start with a superb 66 clearance. Mick Brezwyn followed up winning a much tighter frame against young Tom. Darren Poutney lost early ground to Neil Caswell and though he clawed it back Neil Secured a very good win on the colours. Laki potted well in restoring some pride for the visitors. John Banks sealed a good night for Broseley with a 69 break and in the process the first 4-1 win of the season.

 

 

Division Two

 

 

 

Division Three

Bayley Q vs 2nd Club B. Frame 1 saw Chris Fletcher making his home debut against former Coddon 1st division player Dave Lloyd, so he knew he would be up against it as a close frame came down to the last few colours. However Chris made home table advantage pay as he potted two pressure shots on the blue and pink to claim a very well earned win 53-38. Frame 2 saw the regular pairing of Chris Durham vs Chris Cotterill, this one turned into a close scrappy frame with Chris Durham edging on the later colours 52-31 to increase the lead to 2-0. Frame 3 saw some very good potting from both Lee Newton and Nick Holmes, but it was Lee amassing the greater share of the points to win 64-24 and secure the win for the Bayley lads. Next it was the familiar faces of Steve Weatherall vs Keith Mears, who both showed each other a lot of respect and safety shots, but it was Steve who made the most of the chances allowed, to win 65-16 and add to the Bayley\'s tally. The final frame of the night saw Rob Cook take on Dave Lloyd Junior, which proved that it is very difficult to avoid two Lloyd knockout punches, as Dave Junior showed where his pedigree comes from with some trademark Lloyd potting belters to overcome Rob 57-37 and save the whitewash. This left a score-line 4-1 to the Bayley Q, though the match was closer than this suggests.

 

Anstice C welcomed league leaders Newport A this week, who boasted an away record this season of played 2, won 2 without conceding a frame to date. Both teams were expecting a tough match and so it proved. In the opening frame neither player could get flowing until some crucial pots saw Danny Weaver put the home side in front, winning 55-19. The second frame was a different story with two in form players meeting. Mokesh Mehmi played some outstanding safety play but Andy Elliott proved too strong on the night putting the Madeley lads further ahead 72-12. The third frame was a very tight and tactical affair with a fine exchange of safety play at times. In the end it was the unbeaten Brian McMillan who took his chances better to edge out home skipper Noel Hitch 64-43 and reduce the deficit to one. It was another unbeaten player, Danny Evans, who got in front early on in the next frame and he never looked back to clinch the match for the Anstice winning 76-24. In the final frame Paul Devey finally shook the rust off his cue to chalk up his first victory of the campaign with a fine 58-22 win. The first is always the hardest so they say and Im sure he\'s pleased to put an end to the banter! Overall it was a great result for the Anstice side but it was a lot closer than the frame score might suggest.
