TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 2011/12

 

Division One.

Hadley B made home advantage count to press home a 5-0 win. Ken Booty got Hadley off to a flyer against Phil Whitby and with Phil Dix winning a scrappy frame against Craig Baugh, the signs looked good for Hadley, Tom Mulholland then took advantage of Ben Sewell\'s misfortune to make it 3-0, Ben had done well to come back and square the scores up on the black ball but after rattling the black saw the cueball go off unluckily. Darren Pountney then got up early against Kevin West and never looked back to make it 4-0 and Laki Badhan rounded the evening off with a fine win against Dickie Beddall.

 

Division Two.

 

Division Three.

Bayley Z sunk to a new low after this defeat by their Junior team , consisting of 3 players who only picked a cue up 3 months ago ! Paul Rhodes , who was obviously suffering from a debilitating illness (?)which necessitated taking in copeous amounts of alcohol to ease the pain (!) , lost the 1st frame of the evening to Jimmy Langley 57-15 , things got better after that when \'Norway-Lily\'Morgan beat Paul\'s son Callan 60-16 , but that was the best it got as \'Tugboat\' lost the will to live after losing 59-28 to young Dan Lane . Allen Francis fared no better against \'lil\'sh\'Ryan Dudley , who , unlike his dad , showed some good potting ability in winning his frame 49-32. It was left to Iain Atkinson to try & salvage some pride for the Z\'s , however he contrived to throw his match away with some wayward snooker , losing to Ryan Shelvey 32-62. All-in-all a very

poor showing from the Z\'s , but many congratulations to the Juniors .

 

Anstice C welcomed Bayley Q to Madeley this week with both teams keen to start well after last weeks break. In the first frame it was the home sides Chris Woods who got off to the best start and he never looked back winning 67-9. The next frame saw Paul Devey, by his own admission, playing some of his best snooker for a while but unfortunately for him Chris Durham was also in good form and it was the Bayley player who came out on top to level the scores. Unbeaten to date Danny Evans kept his record intact to restore Anstice\'s lead, winning 77-28. The fourth frame was a cracker as the impressive Lee Newton looked to have done enough to draw his side level as he led by 30 then 27 with just the colours left on the table. However, Andy Elliott had other ideas as he drew on all his experience laying a snooker to gain the vital 4 points before taking all the colours for a 48-44 victory which received applause from both teams. In the final frame Rich Tranter played well to reduce the deficit to just one frame, leaving a very tight and entertaining match finishing Anstice C 3, Bayley Q 2
