TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 2012/13

 

1st Division.

a good local derby got started with colin gittus playing his best frame of the season so far to easily outscore aaron sparkes with some lovely potting. 2nd up saw home favourite john fallows v ade henry, and this frame ebbed and flowed,but ade deservedly took the frame on the pink to the C team 2 up.Matt davies was in no mood to see the match end however and a superb 71 break killed the frame in one visit.Next up linsay knox tried to keep the match alive, and in a low scoring frame, having all but won it, linsay made a bad error on the brown which allowed ritchie heighway to take brown blue pink and wrap up the win for \"C\".A dissapointed angus, who had hoped for a decider, was left to salvage a point against chris lawson, but chris played a blinder and outplayed angus for most of the frame, but despite trailing by 33 on the yellow, angus battled on and eventually took the frame with a good long black..a good match, and the \"c\" team were well worth there win.

2nd Division.

Well and truely beaten by the better team on the night. 100% record gone for me and the team, very well played Newport. Back to the drawing board for us and trying to get used to our tables which we still dont seem to have mastered since they were re-clothed 2 years ago.

3rd Division.

Bayley Q vs Maddocks B. A stitch in time saves nine ! (but more of that later). Frame 1 saw Jimmy Langley vs Ben Godding, with Jimmy starting the better out of the two. However the balls conspired to turn this battle into a messy affair as the frame stayed very tied up. Jimmy still had the lead going into the colours, but a bit of bad fortune allowed Ben his chance which he finished off with a classy pressure pot on the black to win 42-34. Frame 2 saw Chris Durham taking on Neil Warrender. Neil got off to a flyer with some excellent potting, in tandem with a constant exhibition of flukes (you could only laugh at). Already a third of the way into the frame Chris got off the mark and started to play some assured snooker, making a good frame of it which come down to the black, which Chris potted to leave the score 47-43 and level the match 1-1. Frame 3 saw the pairing of the Captains as Steve Weatherall was up against Jamie Howells. Steve started potting them off the walls (not in a Chris Morgan-Adams way) as they flew in from all directions to open up an early lead. Jamie then took his first few opportunities to eat back into the deficit, but it was not long before an in-form Steve went on to win 50-17. Frame 4, Lee Newton vs Roy Lowe with a twisting and turning frame seeing the potting from Lee overcoming the tactics from Roy to win 51-18. Frame 5 had a regular meeting of Noel Hitch vs Maj Ilyas, a nip and tuck frame ensued with both players very evenly matched. Maj looked to have the upper hand, but Noel come back (including a quality long pot on the pink) at the sharp end to pinch it on the black 42-39 proving that a \"Hitch in time saves nine\" as the Q team have now taken 9 out of 10 on their home table, including a 4-1 win on the night over a good spirited Maddocks B side, who on another night would have come away with alot more from the match
