Touching The Title!!!!

Sean Hopkin 2-2 Shaun Parkinson

Sean Rapidly went into a 2-0 lead over Shaun, Both players going for there shots but Sean coming out on top in both frames. By the 3rd frame the Tables changed and no matter where Sean put the cue ball Shaun was slamming them in! 4th frame pressure on.. Scoreline tight all the way through the frame, But then Sean trys to break away on a break of 21, Pots a difficult pink to the corner. Takes his eye off the table and lifts his cue up only to see his cue go right into the reds! (Dont think ive ever done that before lol)After this mistake Sean could not get back into the frame and lost total concentration. Pink and Black left Shaun needs them both, Shaun pots a cracking pink and just over runs it for the Black. A few safety shots later Shaun pots a cracking black.

Well done Shaun, You deserved the draw after that mistake i made!!!!

P.S. Sorry Mike!  :blush:

I would have to beat Jamie 4-0 and then you 4-0 to take the title from you.  That ain't gonna happen, so well done champ!

:bravo: :welldone: :bravo:

Danny Castel-Nuovo has had to pull out of this Saturday's Notts v Derbyshire match.  I have asked all the remaining scratch and +7 players if they want to take his place but none of them have responded.  I am now at +14's so if you want to play let me know.  You will need to be there at 10.30am and it will finish approx. 7pm.  It will cost you £10 which will pay for the trophies.

Sean Hopkin 2-2 Steve Butler

Sean going into a 2-0 lead with quite a few mini breaks, Sean very tired after playing all day but trying his best to keep the dangerous Steve off the table, 3rd frame going down to the colours, Steve snatching it on the brown. 4th frame lots of good safety, Sean then makes a 39 break and misses the last red down the black rail, The last red was frame ball, Steve is 35 behind with 35 remaining, Few safety shots later Steve pots red black, Steve then lays a fantastic snooker, Sean misses it by a wisker, To top it off only to see the white go in off, Ball in hand Steve clears the colours up.

Well done Steve, You deserved the draw, I had too many chances and didnt deserve to beat a player like yourself the way i played!!!

:thumbup: :welldone: :bravo: :england:

Thanks for doing the write up Sean.  I can't remember much about the match except that I couldn't pot a ball.  I am very pleased to have got a draw considering how I played.  Neither of us played particularly well although you got in amongst the balls quite a few times and every time you looked like you were going to make a big break.  You just ran out of position a bit too much.  Although when you did you didn't take on any silly pots but instead you played good safety.  It's really noticeable how this side of your game has improved throughout the season.

It's been a good season in division 1.  It was a shame that Ant and Cary had to pull out but they had very genuine reasons for doing so.

Looking back at the season, you only lost one match (3-1 to me).  I lost twice to Jamie at Pegasus and then to Mike on my table.  That defeat to Mike was particularly costly but fair play to him, he was tactically far superior to me that night.

Anyway, well done Sean on winning the league and I hope you do well in Premier B next season.  I have no doubt your handicap will drop to 7 or even scratch if you carry on improving at the current rate.

:bravo: :welldone: :bravo:
