Riley Cuemasters 9-1 For legion
a great result for us last night but in fairness the legion were a bit unlucky and perhaps could have taken 2 maybe 3 frames more to make the score more respectable!
despite the result i didnt think we played that well but so far we have had a real positive start to our season! so happy days.
good luck to the legion 
we may need a bigger boat..! |

Shark would have to agree there mate.
The legion certainly did not get the run of the balls last night. Couple that with a few missed chaces from them and we get a great result from a quite average performance.
Scores could easily have been 6-4 or even 5-5.
Unlucky guys but I am still gonna back em to qualify from the group.
That has set us up incredibly well in this group and we will be targeting turning over the Betters Halfs to all but seal the group early after such an emphatic opener against the 2nd best side in the group.
Onwards and upwards

MESSAGE to Berty !!!!!
"TALK IS CHEAP" & "ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS"
I'm real happy that you have pre-warned me and stated your intentions on the site for all to see. I will certainly post the result for all to see.
Did your result last night that you speak so loud about come about because the Legion could'nt raise a full squad.
Speaking of squads, so far in the opening of this new season I have been playing junior team mates so that they too can learn some experience at this level. But for our walkover against your side I will bring out all my BIG GUNS just to teach you how the job is done so very easily.
At such an early stage in this competition you state that you will back the Legion to qualify. Am I to assume that you are placing yourselves in 3rd place. I sense that you are already having a fear of The Better Halfs by way of you finding fit to mention us in such a simple thing as posting your result.
Just remember that a match consists of 2 halves, your team and my team. The winner would be known has The Better Halfs.
Who are we, who are we, The Better Halfs.
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
FACTS.
I did'nt hear you mention that you are top of the table at the moment due to the fact that you were the first team in this group to recieve your free 10 points by way of your bye. We have a long way to go before we have ours.
2 Matches into the competion and you have already diffused 2 of those free points by way of us only being 8 points behind you. We will keep on pressing forward to diffuse more and have the pleasure of receiving our free 10 points the week before we meet with you guys.
Thanks for your comments and the warning and we look forward to meeting up with you next year for what I believe will promise to be a real good "SHOW TIME" |

Wow someone rattled your cage. Yeah I agree the legion were probably the weakest I have ever seen them and it was a shame to see to be honest. I know little to nothing of your team so can't really comment about you so that is why I have asumed the legion are the second best team in the group, that coupled with the fact they beat you in the opener. Fair play to you if you qualify and there is a long way to go as you say so we shall not count our chickens but 19 out of 20 points aint a bad start!. It really does not bother me where you finish to be honest as long as it is behind us which I think is what will happen...Just an opinion mind.

Berty in reference to your post when we played the legion it should have been a draw or 6-4 to us i would like any legion players to clarify this if any of you come onto the site....? i am not taking anything away from the legion as i have been a croydon player for some time and cross there paths many times before i know as a team what they are capable of....!
and as far as knowing nothing about the better halfs does summer k.o cup finalists mean anything to you? |

Fair play mate I am not trying to put your team down at all I just don't know anything about you. Did you change you team name at some point?
At the end of the day you have to base your predictions on something so I based my prediction of the legion going through on the fact they are an established ex division 1 side that beat you in the opener.
When I mentioned turning you over I just meant that we would aim to beat you, if we manage that then considering the other opposition in the group we are going to have to mess up badly to not finish top. By beating the legion 9-1 I basically meant that you are going to have to catch up the 5 point defacit against the legion somewhere along the line to finish above us as we certainly will not look to drop points against the lower sides.
Anyway I hope you get the results together and the last match in the group is a shoot off for top spot |

lol i dont think berty meant any dis respects to your team! in fact i know he didnt!
i for one had never heard of the better halves until this summer when you had a very good cup run and congratulations in doing that as its always nice to see teams outside of the top division doin well!
i hear you have marco(5 bellies) angel playing for you now! i hope he is buying you all lots iof drinks!
lol good player tho
obviously we know the legion a lot better so when the draw was made naturally we looked upon them as our main threat and probably yourselves next!
you cant take no game for granted against anyone so personally the only game we will be concentrating on is the next one!
good luck anyways
we may need a bigger boat..! |

I'm Lovin it,
and all because of a certain individual.
Look at the amount of posts and views this group has. Guess it's good for our league web site. I think I'm gonna take a trip down to Maccy Dee's now. ( I'm Lovin it .... Get it !!! )
For those who wish to quote grammar, we are The Better Halfs. Go ask the dictionary to give us a space between Half and Halves. Ask for a long time contract because we do exactly what it says on the tin and will last a whole lot longer so we should be there for quite some time. Maybe we should change our name to Ronseal. That sound real good but it does'nt fit between halfs and halvess
Does anyone know where we can buy one of those big timer clocks with dramatic count down sound that they have on Countdown ? I know that there is one in Riley's of Lewisham but it's all quiet there. I'm gonna go ask Riley's where they got it and maybe pick up a little grammar along the way.
Naaaaaaa ... think not, we'll just concentrate on winning the group.
Who are we, who are we, talk to me, talk to me, get in the hole. Gosh ... The Better Halfs have just won again.
And we're still lovin it. |

I would have thought going 7-0 down in a final is a bit of a battering if I am honest!
