Pool Match 19th July 2006 Away Versus Chequers

Bakers fought out hard fought 4-4 draw away at the high flying chequers, the first encounter this year ended in a similar result even though the teams are at opposite ends of the table. Another great opening by bakers to the match saw them establish a 3-1 lead by the halfway point, a cool clearance by Yon and an exceptionally casual 4 ball clearup in tough position by dale being the highlights. Scott Rose continued his good form by making a losing position into winning frame with a series of snooker escapes and good pots. Matt Townsend's opponent performed a miracle 6 ball clearance leaving Matt no chance in his frame. At position 6 was Terry 'The ICEMAN' Greenwood who produced the frame of the night to clear from 6 balls out (pausing several times to push his glasses back to the bridge of his nose) and secure the point for Bakers, this left Peter Kempster and Tony Cossey to secure the one frame needed for victory in the last two frames. Both frames were tight affairs with each going right down to the wire, Tony missed a the thinnest of cuts on the black, after over running a full table length positional shot. Peter in a nervy last frame missed another thin cut to leave his opponent a crucial pot on the black ball. The result could have been so much better but an away draw at the current league runners up was good result in the circumstances.
