Last night Cue Ball Bakers clinched runners up spot in the league doubles competition by beating the matapan public house in a playoff match. The playoff format dictated that each side enter 3 doubles pairs to play at the Barking Pool Club, the bakers pairings were as follows.

Match 1 = Mitch Dawson & Scott Davis
Match 2 = Peter Kempster & Yon Thomson
Match 3 = Tony Cossey & Scott Rose

In match one, the bakers players took an early advantage after the matapan potted too many reds from the break. Mitch and Scott gave the Matapan a late clearance opportunity but they failed to capitalise leaving Scott Davis to pot a smooth long range black ball along the cush.

In match two the frame developed into a safety exchange initially, Peter and Yon playing a series of tactical shots to claim pockets. In the later stages the Matapan were the first to attempt a clearup but this left Yon a clearance in return. Showing his ability to perform under pressure Yon potted the remaining three balls to close the frame and the playoff.

Well Done boys!
