Tuesday was all about the result - we needed 5frames so i guess a cautious approach was taken - Not sure it was just us playing negative pool, but whatever we won 6-1 so i guess the imperials will say as much...
Good luck in the next round chaps & Pat did your boys get through 
even after we let you beat us to give you a sniff 
Good luck in your battle to stay in Div 2
HOW LONG LEFT ? |

No,we didn't qualify David.But we didn't really want to.We have never liked playing on a Monday night as well as Tuesday. We have quite nice homes and families to enjoy. We obviously do not share your fanaticism !! The looks on your faces after we battered you into submission made the whole season worthwhile. An absolute classic memory even though is was about 11.30 !! Under the new rules we can play five players on a Monday night and a different five on Tuesdays,so it wont be a problem anymore.  |

You'd be surprised as to how many benefits there are to this format Cliff . . Just wish others saw it that was as opposed to it being a witch hunt . . |

Me being one of them. My team had a vote to see what the majority wanted and my vote reflected that vote. NOW they have decided that 'maybe' it won't be so bad after all. So Danny I suppose its too late to change my vote.
Always have a plan 'B'
Even plan 'B' has failed |

It is but I'll let you off 
That just proves my thinking in that if people actually thought about it and looked beyond "Oh they're trying to change things for the sake of it" and "It suits the Division One teams" then they might realise that we're trying to do this for the good of the league and it's members |

Truey, I'd say that was a serious bite! When reflecting on winning the Group last Tuesday night we all agreed that if anything loosing to what is a very average Division 2 team did us a big favour. So thanks Patrick.
I sense your jealousy Patrick as it must hurt to know you failed to put us out of the competition. I guess you also know your pretty Pond boys would have fallen short on ability let alone possessing the big danglies to produce a defining last performance like we did to qualify....
With your defeatest take on the league cup format Patrick, maybe a season or two playing in Division 3 is what you all need to realise that once upon a time when Division 1 was 'weak', you used to be a part of it.......... |

 Alex,I look forward to monitoring your forthcoming performances in the League Cup. I acknowledge that you are now the definite favourites to lift the cup. If this were to happen,it would bring me further happiness and satisfaction because I can say "we beat them earlier in that competition". I would be extremely proud of that achievement. The very best of luck in your endeavours. I think that you will need plenty !! |

There seems to be an air of jealousy coming from pondlife p.c lately,
Could it be because they never made the 2nd stage of the league cup.
Seems to me and probably other site users when they don't make the grade they pick on the Eden for achieving what they always fail in.
Us edenites may lose battles but we will always win the war.

2004 Summer Knockout Cup semi final - so just once actually. And to date clearly the highlight of the Pond's pool achievements.
Semi final wins only become significant let alone worth mentioning when you go on from that victory to actually WIN the final....
Otherwise, its just embarrassing to bring it up.

Arthur, I do feel that the word"jealous" is way off the mark.I certainly do not envy you at all !! It seems like only yesterday that your mob were about to disappear into the obscurity that you so richly deserve. Unfortunately,you stole a few players from a fellow tenant at the Farley and now, all of a sudden it would appear that a renaissance is about to take place. Even a re-appearance in the summer league is being proposed, albeit in the bottom division. What a let-down for the old Dukes players who were persuaded to join the Eden in order to play in the 1st division. I believe that they may have a case against Alex for false representation.   |

O.k pondlife we were going to fold the team under the old format because we could have struggled for players in the summer.
Then a proposal was sought for and found for a new format,the new format meant it is now possible to maintain the Edens good name in the league, so we also decided to sign a couple of players to strengthen our team and to replace players we no longer had.
All the players we have signed did so sign of their own free will and Mark Bannister de-registered Rab Harkness so he could play for us. to M.B
As for playing in a lower division in the summer that was our fault as last year we did not field a team for the summer.
A presidence as already been set regarding ex 1st div 1 teams who could find themselves playing div5 or 6 pool in asmuchas they got shuffled up to div 2.
I would be very much surprised if this did not happen for us.
It doesn't really matter what div we are in in the summer as we will tear teams apart at the seams.
