Summary

The Games

Mike (SL5) won 4 - 2 against a 4
This was a mix of the sublime and the awful from Mike although in truth he never looked like losing and the hill / hill rack was comfortable. A special mention for the memorable rack when Mike looked odds on for a break and run following an astonishing kick to make his final stripe.... ....only to miss what appeared to be an easy 8 ball! Definitely a shot of the night contender though.

Lori (SL4) won 3 - 2 against a 4
Another great match. After storming into a 2-0 lead by playing solid pool and capitalizing on any mistakes, Lori suddenly found herself on the receiving end of a very different opponent. The match came back to 2-2 and set up another of the night's astonishing shots with Lori making a fantastic long bank of the 8 ball to seal the game. An absolutely vital victory!

Heather (SL3) won 2 - 3 against a 5
Ok so the 8 scratch from her opponent in the first rack certainly helped but it amazes me how often Heather is underestimated. Back came her opponent to win three racks in a row to set up another hill / hill chance but when the opportunity for Heather arose she duly took it. A fantastic long cut on the solid bringing the cue ball back across the table for a straight 8 ball and the match. Awesome!

Mini (SL5) won 4 - 2 against a 4
Yet another hill / hill match!. This time however, it ended up with Marc making the teams first ever non-captain break and run with one of the most casual displays of potting ever seen. Marc hardly looked like he had a care in the world at either 2-1 down or in winning the final three racks for his first ever win as an SL5.

Mark (SL5) lost 2 - 3 against a 4
A very good SL4 but Mark certainly had his chances. I think that the cigar smoking was a distraction but we need to reinstall Marks confidence just like we did with Sparky during the last session. The rot won't last forever!

Shot of The Night

Many, many contenders but I think I have to give it to:

Lori: For her length of table bank on the final 8 ball.

Worst Shot of The Night

Mark: When it comes to the point where last season's shot of the night winner is getting the worst shot of the night award we have problems :-)
