23 May @ Blue Sky Bar

Have I said this before, "They are all tough games in Division One", well it's worth repeating. Almost every game goes down to the last ball and more often than not in the singles the score ends up 3/3 and last night at Blue Sky Bar was no different. Unfortunately for us the doubles did not go our way with the score being 0/3 resulting in a loss to Nr 1 Pub 3/6. Next Thursday 29 May we play the 1st round of the League Cup against Lazy Moon Ladies at Half Moon with no game on Friday 30 May. The bad news is that the comp is not going to get any easier with our next game on 6 June at home against Half Moon. In Division 2 game Nr 1 Bistro at home were down 4/2 after the singles but made a brilliant come back to win 5/4.

21 May home v Oasis

Well, the delaying and rescheduling of this game in the end did not save them from defeat. As expected it was a tough game against last years champions. After the singles it was 3/3 but it was all over after the second game of doubles with the final score being 5/4. That should put us in the number 3 position on the ladder - Well done team.

Next week we have to play a knockout game against Lazy Moon Ladies at Half Moon on Thursday 29th May.

Fri 9th May Away v Inter & Blue Sky

The Number 1 Pub played Inter Bar who were in shock when Ron broke in the first game of the night and sunk the black ball to win the game with one shot. Next up was Daz who dazzled them with an easy win by 5 balls next up was Fern which needs no further comment and Loui also won to have us up 4/2 in the singles. The team then went on to take the doubles 2/1 making it an overall win of 6/3. Number 1 Bistro had a tough match against Blue Sky who Kim has tipped to win the overall competition this year. The Bistro went down 7/2 but Kim has the team working on their doubles play hoping for better communication between team players. Well done everyone and lets keep working to get Number 1 in Number 1.

Home v ChiangersBangers & Friends Bar

Home games are always popular as was the case this week with plenty of players and all in good form. Div One played Chiangers and Bangers and at start time only one opposition player was present to write the team up on the board but we finally got away, albeit late. Apparently they are having problems organising their teams with their second team forfieting. A big Welcome to Daz joining the team and winning both his games. I guess coming late left the Chiangers team a little disorganised and it showed in their play going down 5/1 in the singles and no better in the doubles with the final result being a 7/2 win to Nr 1 Pub. Div Two played a tactical game against Friends Bar and it looked like it was working being 3/3 in the singles and taking two of the doubles games for a win 5/4 to Nr 1 Bistro. A Happy result all round.

A word of advise to all players in the teams, if you can't make it to play or if you are going to be late for the game, you must call the team captains Kim or Garry otherwise it will be assumed that you are not playing and as per the rules of the competition, once the names are on the board they cannot be changed.
