18th of July 2007: 4 -4 Versus Dagenham FC

Bakers secured another point away from home this week, the opponents, Dagenham Football Club, being also in the lower half of the league. A bright start by Bakers in the doubles frame still ended in defeat after the Dagenham FC pair completed a 6 ball clearance from a difficult position. Much to the dismay of Mitch & Tony who had just missed their own clearance opportunity.

Tony Cossey opened the singles play by winning the first frame for the Bakers, a 3 cushion snooker escape to re-snooker his opponent lead to a clearance and a deserved win. Mitchell Dawson won but only after a uncharacteristic error on the black, making sure with subsequent 'double' chance. Scott Rose followed with another Bakers win, "played like a god" in the true "defender of the faith" style he portrays. These triple singles wins leaving Bakers 3-1 up in frames, however a fightback by the home team left Peter Kempster to win the last frame to tie the match result at a 4 frames all deadlock. Quick note to lovers of pathos , Yon as ever was a sad knob.

This leaves bakers with 5 points from 16 matches and still anchored to the bottom of league division one of the BDPL (www.bdpldiv1.co.uk). This weeks match versus the white horse another relegation threatened side is crucial to Bakers survival.
