INTER TOWN RESULT -
CONGRATULATIONS TELFORD B
BRIDGNORTH A V TELFORD B at
Chelmarsh. Bridgnorth took the
early lead when the experienced Simon Thomas potted well
including a nice 27 break to beat Keith Price 52-16. Telford
hit back straight away when, despite going behind early on,
Sean Nolan came back strongly to defeat Chris Lewis 48-35 to
square the match. In the third frame it was nip and tuck as
Chris Morgan- Adams for Bridgnorth took on Craig Reynolds for
the visitors. Craig eventually looked to have done enough as
Chris needed a snooker on the blue but as Craig sank the blue,
the white cruelly rolled the length of the table to go in off.
With ball in hand Chris could now win and confidently smashed
the blue into the corner. The pink followed but he caught the
far knuckle of the centre pocket with the black. Craig stepped
up and potted a fantastic black down the rail into the yellow
pocket to put Telford ahead, winning 66-53. Not to be outdone,
home skipper Mick Brezwyn potted well including a 37 break to
beat Adam Moore 82-20 and level the best of 7 match at 2-2. Up
next was Steve Jones for home side facing visiting skipper
Mick Reynolds. Mick drew on all his experience to take the
initiative and he never let up running out a fine 66-30 victor
to put his side on the brink of victory. In the penultimate
frame Bridgnorths Ian Postins began well taking the lead but
making his representative debut for Telford was Steve Powell.
He showed no signs of nerves as he potted his way to a great
73-37 win to seal his side's place in the next round. In the
dead rubber Bridgnorths Paul Manning beat Ade Henry 65-23.
