Billiards Season 2024

Home Team Report:
Hi chaps
What a very pleasant evening it was against Chertsey, a team of gentlemen who take victory and defeat with equal generosity. I am very pleased to report New Haw overcame what looked on paper a perfect draw for Chertsey. The 1st frame I’m afraid was one to forget with neither of us playing anywhere near our best. It took over an hour! However, things improved in frames 2 and 3 with both Steve and Lol continuing their improved form from the previous week, both taking well deserved victories (if somewhat fortunate in Steve’s case) Steve had built an early lead and at last posted a very good “high break” which was unlucky to finish at 25. However, once he got past 100 his scoring opportunities dried up somewhat and George mounted a comeback. With Steve seemingly unable to “limp” over the line on 148, George, on 135, had an opportunity to run out. Having reached 8 and with the balls at his mercy he inexplicably played the wrong cue ball handing Steve the 2 points he needed to win. PHEW!! In frame 3 Lol showed his best form of the season so far to complete an excellent victory over Chris who battled hard to get his 2 points though receiving few decent opportunities.
