Blue Sky away

A win for my birthday, very nice thank you team. OK, so it was only 5/4 (again) but I must accept responsibility for that, fancy missing a sitter in the doubles, can only blame it on the grog. Would like to welcome Loui to the team, being the new guy we put him up first to test his mettle and he came up trumps with a good win, well done Loui.

Home v The Local

Another 5/4 win but a welcome win anyway, but knowing that The Local have not won a game this season doesn't make the narrow win feel any better. We were unlucky (again) with the white and the black going in the wrong holes at the wrong time on a couple of games but no excuses, we have to do better. Karl started us off in fine style with a seven baller and for a moment Ron looked like he was going to do the same in the second game, but then we lost two in a row before Dee and Fern came to the rescue and the singles finished with us 4/2 up. Needless to say we only won one doubles game, Garry and Ron scraped us home for the 5/4 win. Well done team but we will do better next week.

Oasis away 10 Aug

A trip away to Oasis Bar did not prove as successful as we would have liked. Ron started us off well, with a win in the first game, but we went down in the next three until Karl stopped the rot in his first appearance in the singles. Then Fern was unlucky to get beat in the last game which put us on the ropes having to win all three doubles again. Unfortunately we fell at the first hurdle but came back to win the last two leaving us with a 4/5 loss. Oasis are a good team but so are we and sometimes it just comes down to the break of the balls. We will do better next game although it is a tough ask against the Local.

Home v Inter Bar 3 August

A game that we always knew would be tough against the top team from last tournament but we were determined. Fern was unlucky to be beaten in the first game and Inter Bar showed us their skills in the next four as well. Down five to nothing in the singles, a courageous comeback was begun by Song in the last game of singles, which had everyone in the bar screaming for Nr1. After this the team rallied and the doubles, which had been our weak point in past weeks, ended up being our saviour with a miraculous three to nothing making an overall loss 4/5 but a result after a slow start that we were more than happy to walk away with. Well done team.
