MADPL 15-16 Week 1 Turnpike Away

After spending all day negotiating with agents I finally signed Foz back onto the 2015 2016 roster, just before the transfer deadline which just left venue negotiations to be completed before our first home game next week. Tonights opponents were Turnpike, our stablemates for the past few years and stiff competition but I felt confident going into the game that we could come out on top.

John 100% Stenstrom was our season opener and looked assured when gifted the choice of colours when their player went in off the break. He managed to apply some pressure with some good pots and with their man looking nervous John forced two visits with two reds together over the pocket placing the cue ball behind baulk he asked if he was still foul snookered but was told no. What happened next beggers belief…he completely missed both balls giving their man two visits but fortunately from an awkward position, and luckily for John the nerves continued and with his next visit mopped up. 0 – 1

Sam on next and barring one shot midway through the frame had this one sewn up. Early exchanges saw sam pot and leave his opponent nothing to pot in return which would always frustrate their man and with patience a chance will come but when a half chance arose I thought Sam was too eager to move the frame on and poor position meant he allowed his opponent a chance to gain confidence with a couple of pots. This along with good fortune put Sam under pressure and eventually luck beat skill 1 – 1

Not wanting Turnpike to get their noses in front I played the next frame and although I missed a finish with two visits a nice little snooker brought home the frame win 1 – 2

PJ in the next frame apart from going in off from the break, played a couple of shots that were little short of amazing and looked easily the best player throughout and with three yellows left played a fantastic pot with position to then pot and get up the table to his last ball, I turned to Sam and said that was brilliant, now all he has to do is snooker himself behind the black…which is EXACTLY what he did going from hero to zero in one shot. Escaping from the self-imposed snooker he returned to the table and finished the job next visit. 1 – 3

Mike on next played steady pool when eventually given a chance after their man missed a possible eight ball break, unflustered Mike played tightly and when gifted two visits potted six colours and left a straightish black to middle which missed by a fraction. When their player missed Mike sank the black and it wasn’t until later that it was pointed out that he had a visit remaining when he got down to the black the first time, which no-one spotted at the time. 1 – 4

With at least a point in the bag already Foz went on and played well but a couple of misses and a short ball when he had two visits cost him the advantage in the frame and then in a tactical exchange came out second best but only just. The referee (me) was asked about a foul jaw snooker mid frame which I could not answer without consulting the rulebook. To clarify here is the Foul Jaw snooker rule “If an opponent fouls and the Cue Ball comes to rest on or near a Jaw (curved part of a cushion), and that Jaw is preventing the player from playing the finest cut possible on both sides of any of that player’s own Colour by way of a “straight – line” shot, the player is deemed to be Foul Snookered and all the rules pertaining to Foul Snookers will apply.” So last nights scenario was not a foul snooker. 2 – 4

Steve Hilditch a rare attendee nowadays brushed off the cobwebs to put in a shift at number seven and did not disappoint with some steady pots good position and excellent shot selection to win at a canter and gain the team both points without needing a nervous final frame from a wildcard as we were out of players at this point. 2 – 5

John was picked and will start this seasons Strictly Shit Factor league and although upto this point was 100% and on a roll he will be mightily disappointed not to carry that streak on against an opponent he should beat nine times out of ten. 3 – 5

A good win to start the campaign and after informing the landlady our intention to move venues this was our last time on the Turnpike table this season which is a shame because it’s a good table but hey ho we now play our home games at Big Lock.
