Bakers Strong Showing

Last night Cue Ball Bakers surged to dominating 7-1 home win against the Jolly Fisherman public house. Bakers made strong start which seemed to inspire the whole team to win close frames all the way down the card. With their strongest 8 players on show bakers needed a good result to keep their hopes of promotion alive and retain 2nd spot in the league.

Last night we managed a 4 all draw against the Matapan away, i think the quick table and generous pockers caught out our first couple of players, i missed the 8-ball on the clearance and had to pot the black as the last ball of the game after a series of snookers. However another point in the bag!

Just to try and drum up some interactivity on the blog, (i blame myself for not advocating this facility well enough), i am going to ask everyone at the match tonight to email me at tonycossey@gmail.com to request a login and start putting some content on the blog. I am starting by publishing results each thursday with a match report......a bit more dedication on updating this blog from me would go a long way i am sure.

Another morning in the city of London completed, its seems UK interest rates are kept on hold at 4.75% by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee which normally points to a slowing economy. .....see how boring the city is.....anyway on with the pool. Check out these links for the new season...

We have been asked by the league if any of the team would like to join a league 'task force' to review the rules we play this year with a view to changing next year, just shout up......the rules are on the EPA website above. TONY

Ok Guys as you can see i have been playing around with some of the photo facilities, to test a few of bloggers features. It all works very well......On a sporting note; Would anyone like to practice next week at the CueBall? We should all get some practice in on the new tables, nice, straight and fast with pockets that can't be mistaken for buckets like at the previous venue.....

Well guys here is the new season, we are registered with the league and have a new venue as per my email today , please email me at tony.cossey@gtcibrokers.com or tony@tonycossey.nildram.co.uk for a login to this BLOG

New team for this year is as follows in no particular order;
1. Peter Kempster 2. Steve Thomson 3. Tony Cossey 4. Denis Sheridan 5. Scott Rose 6. Scott Davis 7. Dale Bennett 8. Dave Balding 9. Mitchel Dawson 10. Stuart McClements 11. Dan Cooper 12. SPARE (Bomber, Gordon, Stumpy, Ash could play here.)

Quick couple of notes about last night, it seems the league will have a new results system next year and we will be able to SMS results in, its all going to be chaos i feel as no format has been agreed and i cant see the results guys have the mobile phone number of every team captain in his phonebook. Thus he will get about 300 texts with just 5-3 and nothing else.....time will tell.
