Hadley A were visited by the Shifnal C side this week, and what a match it turned out to be! Mick Hughes rolled back the years with a great display of snooker having a 27 break during the frame. Chris Lawson stuck to his task though, and in the end after fluking the pink, took a great black along the bottom rail to take the first point for Shifnal. Next up, Alan turner played Richie Heighway, and at the start you would have thought Alan had never seen a cue before! However, things clicked a bit later on and it turned out to be another entertaing match, but this time Alan got the point for Hadley. John Williams played Sam Drake next, and although John started well, he went off the boil a little and  Sam went on to give his side the lead again. Next Graham Darrall took on Ade Henry, with Ade not getting the best of starts. Graham got himself into a good lead but then Ade produced a 26 break which put him back into a challenging position. Coming to a black ball game decider, Ade would have been very disappointed with his safety shot, and left Graham, not an easy black, but Mr. cool popped it in to set up a decider between Andy Kendrick and Colin Gittus. This was a super performance from Andy who knocked in a wonderful 52 break, effectively ending any challenge from Colin. Every-one agreed that it was a great nights snooker enjoyed by us all.

awful!!!! bloody awful thats all i can say. only Daz Pountney played anything like, how we are 3rd in the league is beyond me.

What has happened to Shifnal? Since leading the league a few weeks ago, they are in freefall and continued that against Bayley Q, who played well and thumped them 5 - 0. Rob Cook beat Brian McMillan in a poor first frame with both players struggling. Steve Weatherall took the second frame with some good steady snooker against Terry Askew. Lee Newton had a lovely 39 break, which ended with a jawed red or would have been a lot more. He comfortably took frame 3. Noel Hitch and Mark Hebden had a closer game with Noel winning on the colours for 4 - 0. Geoff French was on his way to breaking the duck, but Richard Tranter had a 22 clearance to take the frame and match 5 - 0. Well played Bayley, though they were never pushed to be fair.
