TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 2012/13

 

Division Two.

Dawley C v Maddocks E

Great match, three frames resulting in a black ball frame! Excellent quality from both sides...

Shifnal F v Anstice B

A tightly contested first frame saw Willie Brown eventually overcome Frank Williams to give the Shifnal team a 1-0 lead. Birthday boy Rob Wright rolled back the years with a scintillating display of potting and safety play to heavily defeat Noel Stones 69-4 , not many people have done this to Noel or will do so again.Happy Birthday Rob!! The third frame saw Nigel get off to a flier then Chris came back into the game before Nigel finished the game off to bring Anstice right back into the mix. Frame 4 was a nip and tuck affair which saw Steve pip Dave on a respotted black to make the match all square at 2 frames all, game on. Chris Petford scored heavily in defeating Billy Watson to give the Shifnal lads a 3-2 win. An excellent night\'s snooker played in a sporting manner by both teams and topped off with a piece of Rob\'s birthday cake. Wednesday nights don\'t get any better than this.

Third Division.

Bayley Z v Maddocks D

Bayley Z\'s plan at the start of the season was to win all our home games & draw(!) the away games ,this unfortunately for one reason or another hasn\'t quite worked , however it doesn\'t help when you have an 11 WEEK break between home games ! Even the fixture secretary\'s against us ! Having finally returned \'home\' Bayley Z turned in one of their worst performances of the season losing in style 5-0 to Maddocks D . Paul Rhodes was unable to keep up his 100% record this year losing really well against Mike Wainwright , who in fairness played some brilliant snooker & came out a 63-6 winner. Tony Morgan came up against a very determined Graham Arnold who edged the game 42-30. Next on was The Tug against Ken Davies who rolled back the years & played some fine snooker coming out a convincing winner 57-18 . Next on was Iain Atkinson who took on Ian Courtney,(\'took on\' is probably the wrong phrase - Watched was more like it !) losing 15-80 , which included a fine 30 break from Ian. The final frame saw Allen Francis put in a spirited performance against Fred Spragg , but despite a valiant effort to bring some pride back to the team , finally succumbed 35-60 . With our league title hopes in tatters & team moral at an all time low ,we need to quickly pick ourselves up for the forthcoming cup match .
