Home v Inter Bar & Blue Sky Bar

Nr 1 Pub had to face up against the top team in the league Inter Bar at home and we were not off to a good start with one of our team advising us he could not make it and another just failing to show up leaving us one short. But the show must go on and we grabbed a visitor Shane to play for us. We lost the first two games of singles but came back in the second two to draw even but that was the extent of our brave effort, we lost all the remaining games in singles and doubles going down 7/2. More often than not it only takes one silly mistake at this level to be the difference between a win and a loss and there were some silly mistakes made on this night. Better luck next week against Oasis.

Nr 1 Bistro were also at home to Blue Sky and it must have been one of those nights as their games went along a similar vein drawing even in the singles but then going down 6/3. It seems that the Bistro is at home again next week against Ralph Fitch Bar. Good Luck.

League Cup 22 July

Nr 1 Bistro played a rescheduled League Cup match at the Local. Unfortunately due to lack of interest in the League Cup Kim was left with only half a team. Still even with stand-ins most of the games went to the black ball but the Bistro were definately outplayed on the night and went down 7/2 and good luck to the other team. Bistro went home happy with their effort and glad to be out of the League Cup. Roll on friday night.

11 July v Chiangers Bangers & Friends Bar

Nr 1 Pub were away to Chiangers & Bangers and their new beefed up team sent us a wake-up call when they had us down 2/0 in the singles. We fought back to make it 4/2 in our favour but again in the doubles they had us down 2/0 which was a big shock considering they are sitting in 10th spot in Division 1. A good last game gave us a win 5/4 but it was one of the toughest games we have had this season. Bistro were also away to Friends Bar and had a bit of an unlucky start and were down and out 5/1 in the singles but as they have done over the past three weeks they came back to win all three doubles games and give a respectable result even if a loss at 4/5. Bistro should be at home next week in the second round of the League Cup - Good Luck.

Home v The Local & Happy Bar 4th July

You could say that during the 4th July celebrations Nr 1 Pub team shot itself in the foot. The other team didn't so much as win but rather we let them do so. Yes too many silly little mistakes but I guess it was just one of those nights. We were down 2/0 fought back to 2/2 and finished the singles down 4/2. It didnt take long for them to secure the win with us going down in the first game of doubles and finishing the night with a loss 6/3. Better luck next week and a big Welcome to Tom who joined the team on this inglorious occasion.

The Bistro though had plenty of reason to celebrate coming back from being down 4/0 to Happy Bar in the singles and not loosing another game to achieve a miraculous escape and win 5/4. In the end it was down to some fantastic snooker escapes and snooker shots by Joy. Well done team.
