three frames could have gone either way but the visitors all played well and deserved their victory on the night. perhaps we shouldn\'t have got the table re-covered!three frames could have gone either way but the visitors all played well and deserved their victory on the night. perhaps we shouldn\'t have got the table re-covered!

Bayley Q vs Anstice D. Too many Cooks spoil the broth - but the Bayley Q\'s Rob Cook had given advance warning that he could not play due to coming down with the cold / flu. This had left Captain Steve Weatherall selecting his only 5 available players on the night for the visit of Anstice D. Frame 1 saw Jimmy Langley vs Jon Calvert with the balls dictating a large proportion of the frame due to bunching up down the 1 corner of the table. Along with some bad luck for Jon, Jimmy took more of the potting chances he required to win the first frame 57-30. Frame 2 had Chris Durham taking on Tom Gowers, with neither player finding the early part of the frame easy going, but eventually Chris found his potting stride to pull away to wrap up the second frame. Frame 3 saw Steve Weatherall vs new signing Chris Woods (the first outing on the night for one of last years Division 3 winners). Chris made the early running opening up a 20+ lead, tactical play followed with Steve closing up the deficit going into the colours. Finally Steve potted the pink needed to win 55-42 and claim Bayley Q\'s first match win of the season. Frame 4 with Lee Newton building an early lead over Joe Rixom, but Joe made a spirited fight of it causing Lee a bit of a wobble, but Lee came out on top to notch up another frame for the home side. Frame 5 saw an outing on the night another of last years Division 3 winners in the the shape of Noel Hitch who was taking on Lee Foster. Both players showed some of the best potting during the night but a nice 23 break plus some astounding luck down by the green pocket (a test was done to see if Noel had his cue or Charlie Chaplins walking stick, such was the comedy value) allowed Noel to complete a fine 5-0 win for the Bayley Q. A bit more rub of the green and I am sure Anstice D will cause teams alot more problems than their luck allowed them on the night. Bayley Q vs Anstice D.
