The Bakers grabbed an important victory at the Winchester last night, an average performance from some of our players almost lead to an overall loss in the match.
Singles
Bakers drew 3 frames all in the singles, poor performances lead to 2 losses but power plays by Yon and Scott Rose saved the day as the bakers scrambled a draw after Tony, The Dog and Stu all fell to home players. In fact Mitch at number one stumbled over the line in his frame so the bakers can consider themselves lucky to get a draw in this phase of the match.
Doubles
Good performances from the Yon/Monster combination lead to an early win in the doubles series, a clever fluked snooker at the end paid dividends from Yon, with Monster confidently closing the frame. In the second match a determined clearance by the Winchester player put an end to the hopes of Dog/Stu very quickly, great play by the home team to be honest. This left a tense situation for Peter/Tony in the last frame. A fast start by the Winchester pair lead to them taking an early advantage and putting the pressure on Peter/Tony, however a foul by the Winchester lead to fantastic 7 ball clearance by Peter, which must go down as one of the best visits by a bakers player in years, Peter demonstrating Potting, positional play and steely determination all in one superb visit.
Also special thanks to Denis who offered his doubles place to another player to help ensure victory for the Bakers.....thanks Den.

Well played all, i thought it was going to turn out to be a bad evening - Great clearance from Pete to close out a tight game overall.
