C TEAM MATCH REPORT ππ
We travelled to Wiltshire with a squad i was absolutely confident we could pick up a result. we found ourselves 3-0 down from the off. In the past we mightβve let that get to us, but not this time. we made sure heads stayed up. the support was quality from us all and Del, Kris, Jack & JP rattled off the next four πͺπΌ π±
We narrowly lost the first set 5-4, but then found our momentum which i believe is critical in this format of pool and absolutely flew through the second 7-2, including an unbelievable 45-minute tactical frame from JP which took me away with how well thought out heβd played it ππΌππΌ
We edged the third set 5-4, with Rich, Myself & Len grabbing important frames before Scotty Edwards called a break dishβ¦ and actually delivered it! AND GAVE IT SOME TOO!! ππΌπͺπΌππ½ YES. THE SHED. π«ΆπΌ
Wiltshire was showing signs of a fight back in the final with some fortunate nicks and touches here & there to seal frames, but Scotty Jnr secured the draw before Kris Burnard produced the frame of the day & in my eyes one of the best frames iβve genuinely ever seen. with his opponent looking nailed on to clear, and leaving the black and his last yellow over both pockets blocking out Kris reds. he somehow pulled out around six (could be more my memory is p**s) perfectly placed snookers whilst also working his balls into pottable position and eventually cleared under massive pressure after seeing us fail to grasp that winning frame in the last 2 on the opposite table with kris watching over to clinch our first win in months. The boys erupted! & i take my hat off to Kris for working & clearing the table under that pressure! pure class. π±ππΌ
From there the atmosphere was unbelievable and we rattled off the final four frames to seal a 22-14 winππΌππΌπͺπΌ
i was proud to captain these lads today and ridiculously humbled by everyoneβs efforts, togetherness & the atmosphere we produced. a proper team performance. proud as punch for the squad today πππ±
MOTM this month is a ridiculously hard shout when everyone played out their skin. John Paul, Kris & Del Boy all went 3/4. but my MOTM this month goes to JP. having struggled in recent weeks, to turn up with the composure & calm attitude he did today was second to none and best i have seen him play in the green and blue, WP John Paul π€ ππ
