Men B:
Drew 22 v 22
We went into our first home match of the season looking to beat Kent with an under-strength side; Ringo working, Danny-O with an injured arm, Del on holiday and Toady away, meant it was going to be a heads-down-and-give-it-your-best-shot-affair. And that's what we did! We had a dream start winning the first quarter 8-3 and we defended the lead from there-on. Kent however recovered and ultimately lead 22-21 going into the final frame. However the day was saved and with fantastic support from all our teams, we managed to win the final frame, get the draw and maintain our third place position in the Region.
Congratulations to Sean Watson for getting a long overdue 3/4. I'm sure this will bolster his confidence and see a return to form at County that he richly deserves. Joint men of the match goes to Craig Wilson and the mad-disher, Gary Sefton, both who got 4/4.
Congratulations also to Steve Keen playing for the C and showing everyone how to approach a game. He travelled all the way from Hayes, got to Reading nice and early, watched the C team play 43 frames without a murmer of complaint, got up cold and went and won the deciding frame - class!
Now we are over the Kent hurdle, I look forward to giving London everything we've got and consolidating our third place position overall.

Men C:
Won 23 v 21
After a tense start to what was the C teams biggest game for centuries, we lost the 1st qtr 5-6. With the nerves fraying a little bit, we lost the 2nd qtr 4-7. Being anything but the least bit bothered, Trevor and I (Deano) made the inspired substitutions we required and then went into battle. Winning the 1st six frames of the 3rd qtr to be leading 15-13 and just trailing by the 1 frame 16-17 at end of the 3rd qtr we won the 3rd qtr 7-4. In the finale qtr, we made the one change who, just so happened, had not played all day and then wud have play the 44th and final frame, but we"ll come to that in a second. We won three of the 1st four, shared the next 2 to be level, then decided to let the dog loose (who let the dog out). He doggedly (!!!) put us into the lead but by the 9th frame we were all level at 21 apiece. It came down to the grinder (Greenwood) who does what he does best and put us through the mill by winning a shade cosily (ha). It went 22-21 we were on the hill with Steve (billy big bollox) Keene playing the last!!!! Was it ever in doubt? I don’t think so. Not played a game and this to win the match. Inspired captaincy they call it, Stevie won thus winning us the match 23-21. It was a superb team performance with the men of the match being the whole of the C-team (Sean Sehmi 4/4 and Guiseppe D’Imperio 3/4 combined age 34 ; Lee Greenwood 3/4 real age 34) . So the question is, any good?

Ladies:
Lost 12 v 32

Well done today to GIUSEPPE D'IMPERIO, who successfully went through 3 rounds to qualify from Area 3 WCQ. May I take this opportunity to wish him good luck for July and hope he makes Berkshire even more proud by coming back from Blackpool with a trophy!

15TH August 2009. Venue TBC. Players qualify via their county events. For more details, please see the flyer

Men A:
won 21 v 23
Finally a win, however not a very good win. We were in my opinion about 5 frames short of what we should have achieved. The first session was good. We had a flying start winning the session 8v3. We won the second session and were comfortably in control. We then proceeded to lose the last 2 sessions and instead of winning the match at a canter left it to a last frame to secure the win
Players played well in general but it’s the concentration factor in ensuring that they make each frame count. I feel this is where we are lacking. Two new players were brought in – Paul Duncan and Charlie Pinfield. Both performed admirably winning 2 out of 4 and 1 out of 2 respectively.
I won’t comment on the behaviour of the Sussex team which I felt directly resulted in the dire performance in the last session. The captain, who was a thoroughly decent guy, apologised to me on numerous occasions and has felt the need to apologise officially on our website. I don’t think anything further needs to be said on this matter.
Man of Match: Peter Lofts who won 4 out 4 and more importantly demonstrated he was prepared to graft and grind out results. Please keep it up!

Men B:
won 20 v 24
We had a good start, won the first 5 frames finish the first quarter with 8v3, but lost the next quarter. Our players managed to pull back their performances and won our third quarter. Finally finished the last quarter with 9v2.
Outstanding Performance: John Harling all 4 games and Jack Davies won 3 out of 4 games.

Men C:
won 13 v 31
The atmosphere is brilliant on the day, the team bash out their best quality. We won the first quarter 7v4, second quarter 11v0, third quarter 7v4 and last quarter with 6v5. The whole team deserve the title of “Men of Match”.
Outstanding Performance: Scott Matthew, Giuseppe D’Imperio & Jon Ashby all won 4 out of 4 games.

Ladies:
lost 29 v 15
Three ducks once again this month. Berkshire Ladies just didn’t get the luck we deserve on the day. First quarter we lost 8v3, second quarter lost 6v5, third quarter 8v3 and last quarter we virtually given up the match with 7v4.
Outstanding Performance: Ann Middleton & Barbara Nicholls both won 3 out of 4 games.
