A short report on the Trebles Final played at Shifnal on 15th April

The Telford Snooker League Triples Final was a Shifnal derby with bragging rights at stake for both teams

Frame 1 - John Fallows ( Shifnal B) v Spencer Rowley ( Shifnal F )

A tentative start to the match saw eventually saw Spencer outpot John but without doing any damage on the scoring front due to a couple of misses on the black early in the frame. Down to the colours and for some unknown reason Spencer decided to pot the green ball whilst the yellow was the ball on , a costly mistake at that stage of the frame. Despite this Spencer won the frame by the score of 58 points to 52 points.

Frame 2 - Matt Davies ( Shifnal B ) v Chris Petford ( Shifnal F)

Early safety bout in the frame finally saw Chris come up short on his attempted return to baulk Matt confidently knocked in a break of 61 quickly followed by another of 42 to go 103 points ahead. Chris eventually got on the score board, potting a few of the colours, with Matt winning the frame by 122 points to 14 points

Frame 3 - Angus Way ( Shifnal B) v Chris Painter ( Shifnal F )

With an 102 point lead , there was no way that Angus was going to lose the match as it was practically won already. However there was an aside to this match as Chris had beaten Angus in the Shifnal Alan Bott tournament the previous week and revenge was on Angus's mind. It was not to be for Angus though as Chris again played solidly throughout and thoroughly deserved his 77 points to 42 points win

Final result , Shifnal B 216 points Shifnal F 149 points

A well deserved win for the Shifnal B team with the Shifnal F team left to think what could have been if Matt Davies had not won his frame so convincingly.
