Congratulations to Hammersmith & Districts 'A' team for winning the Interleague 2010 KO Cup. See the full results http://www.berkshirecountypool.co.uk/home/interleague/ko
Men A:
Won 26 v 18
A nice start! Very close match. We lost the fist session 6-5. A few of our players showed early signs of nerves playing for the As in particular Giuseppe and Craig Wilson. We however, took control of the match with a great second session. We won that session 9-2. We then won the third and fourth sessions 6-5 respectively to seal the victory, especially with a nice break dish finish by Alan King.
Outstanding Performance: Keith Walls & Maurice Sheehan both won 4 out 4
Men B:
Lost 24 v 20
Kent played very well and caught us by surprise. Chances came and Kent players were able to take them as how it came but our players didn’t seemed to have much run on the day. It was a disappointing result and our players believe that we should have won the match.
Outstanding Performance: Mick Worsfold, John Harling & Gary Sefton won 3 out of 4 games
Men C:
Lost 20 v 24
The match started and straight away we were under the kosh with 3v0 down then 7v2 down cue the comeback. We then won the next 7 on the spin to be 9-7 up. We continue to swap frames and were 15v13 up, that’s as good as it got we lost the next 6.
As a squad of 24 players it was quite disappointing to only have 16 players on the day as we had asked the squad to all attend. Thus being so we put out what we thought was the best starting line up we could. I hope it was a game where first time nerves took over because some of the pool just wasn’t pool enough.
Outstanding Performance: Chris McKnight who won 4 out of 4 games, Neil Cameron and Dan Tollit won 3 out of 4 games
Ladies:
Lost 37 v 7
Despite losing two of our best players from the team, we ended up with the same result as last season. New girls Jo and Sarah both won 1 frame for us each and settle well within the team. The team atmosphere was superb, everyone was sitting together and support the team, well done the ladies.
Outstanding Performance: Dom Chiu who won 2 out of 4 games
