I am sorry about this , i got all my facts confused again. firstly i would like to say thatmy tip is now playing lovely. First time ever i have felt happy with a new tip within 3 days - normally it takes me 2 -3 weeks.
Anyway, just won the chesterfuiled comp and beat ashley walker 4 -1 in the final. I thinkl that the q - school experience has given me a lot more self belief in my own ability and i was so so happy the way i played in the final.
I really did have only 4 hours sleep and was not confident with my tip , and to be honest went down for some cheap snooker with the intentuion of bedding in my tip. i never thought in a month of sundays i would win it.
Anyway, well done.
It's a very strange club because some tables play abosolutly awful and others play quite well.
Bash
its a funny world
i am tired now and will have a long sleep. goodnight. bash

If you're telling the truth Bash, then very well done mate!
If you're kidding, then who really won?
:thumbup:
EDIT - just seen on TSF that you are indeed telling the truth Bash. Well done mate. Also well done to Kwok for reaching yesterday's final and to Sean Hopkin who made a 14 red and colour 85 break!
:bravo: :bravo:
:welldone: Bash, a superb performance against a quality Ashley! What a final, it was quality mate blow for blow!!! Great to see you Buzzing again matey keep it up!!! :thumbup: :bravo:
Congrats to Ashley on his superb 111 break against me, Top stuff :thumbup: :bravo:
Congrats Sean for a superb 85 Break 14 Reds also against me, Top stuff :thumbup: :bravo:
Steve - Cheers M8 it's been a great comp for the notts lads winning majority 5/6 trophies!!!
I'm so glad I went it's a awsome venue and highly recommended!!! I was happy I got as far but gutted I ran out of steam & concentration in the final in what was a very very long day of snooker!!! Especially K'o out snake mate 3-1 after knocking in that fantastic 85 break gutted!!!
Went to the comp with no form, but got some superb results in key match when not looking possible!!! Funny a chap I played in day two said he thought I was a hustler as I played shocking in the first frame then turned it on with quality "quote" Not missing a ball in the next & upped to top gear with advanced safety!!! I said to him honestly that's me Tut! Tut!! Tut!!! Great in patches, won 3-0 yesterday to qualify against a lad called Lee who was the on fire!!! It brought out the best in me 50 break first visit in frame one and constant 20's & 30's+ every visit!!! Talk about jackle and hide, I don't know answers on post card......?
It's been a great weekend of snooker thanks to Dwayne and Dave who did a fantastic job :thumbup: :bravo:
Regards
Cpt Kwok
Cheers kwok matey. As I say, the q school given me. Bog lift in confidence. Well done to yours and Hopkins performance also. Although I will be having words with Hopkins some time this week about his mental approach to games.
Anyway, slept so well last night. The last time I slept that well was when I was in my mothers womb at 7 months. My balls and knob had just about developmed and so I had something to keep me entertainmed.
Now I know you guys, on a serious note, I will let yo in to a health condotion of mine which only my family know. I genuinely suffer from very bad insomnia. O have had the problem for years. I don't take medication for it ad I don't want to have a dependency. If anyone does know any natural medicines or treatments then any help will ne apprecited.
That's why I am up at funny hours doing strange things. That's why I prefer to travel alone to competitions because I take a blanket with me and try and arrive very early as I may need a sudden map at any time and I really got to take any sleep I can. Seriously, a policemen once thought I was dead in the car as I was asleep in some laybye with a blanket over me and my cue next to me. Disabled toilets are the best as at least I can lock myself in and be more comfortable than in the car. At the q school I only felt fresh on just one of my games and for me, to feel like that was. Lovely. Normally, when I play matches I am generally tired most of the time. As I say, if anyone does have any remedies then do let me know.
Finally, snooker is a great game. I did have a few people at the comp yesterday asking me yo join their snooker forums. I said I will think about it as I already have half of nottingham after ne and may well having half the country after me.
Cheers all, Bash
Thanks Steveie matey.
I do fun sometimes but I tell the truth most of the time. I swear, that's the truth !
Bash
Somebody once said to me to get somewhere in life you have to lick peoples arses somewhere down the line. I said, eerrrr, I'm not doing that. Perhaps that's why I am sitting in the large washing machine box trying to ignore the world. Best thing is my baby girl. Just waiting for nursary to finish and will then pick her up. That's the best part of my world when I am being a big kid with her.
Thank you.
Still waiting for any cures for insomnia.
Bash
Congrats to you all and thanks for attending my first ever attempt at organising any kind of event, didn't go too badly given I had all of about 12 hours max to publicise the event, as was clear, I winged it a bit as I had no choice really.
I now have a year to sort it out for next season as I have an agreement with the club for roughly the same time next season (This is flexible as I don't want it to clash with with any other event around the country!)
One thing is for certain, I've changed the name from the TSF Tournament (Because I got fuck all hel from them and I ain't publicising that site free of charge fwhen they're not prepared to help me!) to the N.E.D.S.C Tournament (Because they were very accomodating to us all and helped a lot!)
Nice that 3 of the trophies were won by players who play at the first place I ever played snooker and one was won by somebody who plays on the same team as me!!!!! (not rigged honest!).
I'll be in touch once I've got the trophies engraved and as I'm looking to make it a much bigger event next year I'm going to let you keep these and get some bigger shinier ones for next year (Should please Bash as he was eying Daves up all day!!!!) to go with much bigger cash prizes too to try and attract more folk to enter!
I stupidly played and lost my 3rd final of the season tonight with a seriously bad cricked neck and can now hardly move my head at all (Off to see the Chiropractor tomorrow!). Still I gotta be happy with that after not playing for 15 years!
Catch you all soon
Dwayne
Bash,
You were buzzing in that final. The match would not have been out of place on TV. Great stuff! Here's your stats, by the way...
Andy (MySnookerStats)
cheers Andy matey, glad you enjoyed watching the final. When i am cueing like that the game really is deceptive. It looks so easy at times and at other times the most basic shot is missed - that's just the great fascination of the wonderful game.
Your stats link is not working. Pehaps have a word with steve butler to sort it out.
By the way, i am ok today, ready for a hard days work and hopefully the bee gees can keep up their losing run tonight. Come on bee gees, we haven't lost 6-0 yet, so lets try for that result tonight.
Bash
Still waiting for any insomnia cures.....

Bash
Thanks a lot for doing a write up about mine and your match on your website, We did have a good laugh! Very greatful for your compliments Andy, Hopefully see you again soon mate!!!!

well done Bash,Sean & kwok your results are very impressive nice display of breaks Sean & Bash keep up the good work guys. :bravo:
Sean Croft
The trophies will bear the name
N.E.D.S.C. Handicap competition 2011 or N.E.D.S.C. Scratch competition winner/runner up/high break.
This is because I got naff all help form those on that forum with this and the venue were very accomodating, so from now on this tournament will be named after the venue and probably more likely known as the North East....
Also as I'm looking at raising the cost of entry and thus guarnteeing very decent cash prizes for next year as well as bigger trophies I'm going to let you all keep the ones you won this year.
I hope to have a date and format set for next years event before this month us out so that you can all stick it on your snooker calanders well in advance!
Dwayne
DOUBLE DELIGHT, AS NOTT'S PAIR SEAN & KWOK WIN CUP & PLATE @ WILLIE THORNES!!!
After the superb experience and silverware @ Chesterfield it was Willie Thones the next stop! Sean playing very well a deserved winner of the cup! Cpt Kwok flying high to victory in the plate racking up a good couple 50+ 40+ and a fair few 30+'s on his way to victory in what was another good day for the Nottingham pairing!
It's alot easier now I figured which end of the stick I should be using again!!! :laugh: :laugh:
Well done kwok and Sean. Looks like you two are hustling all over the UK. I am keeping a close eye on you. Well done lads, good to see nottm lads winning at leicester. Leicester has a strong snooker base and for some reason nottm has always lagged way behind. Hope to see you ay the q school next. Year .
Had a great session myself yesterday, with the Chinese player LAN Wembo. He had 129 & 96 and I had two back yo back 70's. He won the session 4-2. I think hecs a top 32 player. I was happy to have had the chance. It was just a stroke of luck. I went up for a practice on my own at Sheffield for PTC 1 and just asked him for a game. I have got the bug for them star tables. Surely, its time fir some club in nottm to get one. It will save me a lot of time and money.
As for our local legends, nav and Wayne. Well, you two great players and nice guys too, battling out another match. Well done nav, playing well lately, and bad luck Wayne. When you playing juddy nav.
Also, me crombie going to see selby. Anyone else going
Bash - clean as ever
BASH, juddy still in bulgaria i think, soon as he gets back when ever that is, will arrange it with him. Dont know what venue its gonna be, but steve going to arrange ref for that match.
Looks like your playing well bash, to get frames against the top 32, it takes some doing. Your cueing well, so all the best for the ptc events, may be you can take hanzla with you... he driving me NUTTY !!!! LOL :laugh: :laugh:
Had a knock on the match table at the BCI today, a shame to see the place completely empty except for me and the steward!
Renewed my memebership too, so will enter next years competitions, apparently I had membership as recently as 2008, though I have absolutely no idea how??????
Trophies delivered on Thursday evening fellas, looking forwards to getting hammered by you all too, and congratulations on you victories chaps!
well wayne, i think thursday is the worst night in that place. I will make a special effort and try and get there , do you know what time you will be ther, because i normally go for a late hour on thursday at about 10, but i doubt you will be there that late so let me know so i can try and get there earliar.
Thanks
bash
Aiming to be there from about 7 fella, may well still be around at 10ish....
See you then.
Alright Dwayne, early is better for me M8 as I have made evening plans :oops: :sorry:
If you can get in earlier that day (5-6Ish) if possible or failing that 7 I'll can give you a quick frame in how Not to play snooker Lol!!!
Then you can play the other two cup winners after!!! I'm sure Sean will be In 4-5-6-7-8-9ish Lol!!!
Sees you Thursday matey :thumbup:
Cpt Kwok!!!
MIght be able to make it earlier, but will let you know on Thursday fella, might be bringing Sean O'Sullivan with me too, shame you ain't gonna be around to get yer revenge! ;)
The winners!
