Jolly 4 - 6 Hot Shots
Enjoyable game and some high quality finishes from both teams, 1st chance taken in most frames
4 lots of 7-balls i think, could have been 5-5 but for a missed black,
quality told though, well played, see you in the League Cup!!

well played the eagles last night were solid throught out! we had a chance in the 1st frame but then apart from that we only really had chances in the 3 frames we won as the eagles pretty much took control in all the others and never really gave us a look in! enjoyable match tho and look forward to our league cup meeting,

Farley Eden 4 - 6 Bloodhounds
Another excellent victory as we try to pull off the great escape for the second season in a row. I know the Eden had a slightly weakened team, but then we were without two first team regulars as well.
Nice to see Ramsay get 2 out of 2 (cheers for the lift home), and Nelio was as consistent as ever (even if he tries to make his finishes as difficult as he possibly can).
I was absolute pants this week - sorry boys!
In reply to Dotcom's thread - The Power was actually their best player on the night and comfortably won two out of two. It was weird not to hear the Eden roar much, but I guess credit has to go to our boys for some of that!

I think Teach's summary is pretty spot on. Yep, we were a couple of players short last night & will be even more so again next week at the Unpreds but thankfully we have a large squad of players to call on unlike most teams. I don't think we can argue with the end result and the better side won on the night. At 4-1 down after the opening set and then 5-2 down - we nearly pulled out the draw. We had a sniff in a couple of frames but chances went begging. Likewise, we won a couple of frames off the back of mistakes
Ramsay and Nelio produced some solid performances for the Hounds, and I can see the Hounds staying up. Nobody is too good to go down in this league but the Hounds have that little bit more than a few of the other relegation sides.

The Patriots 5 Pond Q's 5 Another boring score draw. The Patriots will be far happier than us with the final score as they were 5-3 down at one time. I understand that it was quite an enjoyable evening . I was at home watching the mighty Arsenal destroy WBA. The Gunners got what they deserved. Unfortunately,we didn't !!

No problem for the lift home cheers Teach and ThePower
p.s dotcom grow the fuck up, it's only a game of pool. People plays pool just for a laugh and get a wee break from their wifes/girlfriend and have a pint or two and enjoy themselves...
Wifes/girlfriend plays bingo to get a wee break from their boyfriends/husband simple as that

I reckon that puts the Egos back on top by a point from the Pats and the Prop, with Hot Shots 3 behind those two. Plenty of twists and turns left in this twisty turny championship thing though.

It's certainly hotting up in Div 1, and as it is panning out at the top and bottom - both the title and the relegation will surely go to the wire.
All ready you find yourself looking at the last two or three fixtures. At the summit of Div 1, I believe its the first week the Prop have been replaced at the top of the table? 4 teams still have a chance with 10 games to go. Never had that scenario for years and years.
At the foot, the Legion had a disaster this week and look in real trouble and are now 9 points from safety, whilst the Slates needed to find a win desperately but a repeat of one win in their next 8 games or so won't keep them up. Pond and Hounds keep clawing out the results and the early season form from both these sides may have left them with too much to do? Jolly and now the Cuemasters have entered the relegation fringes. Jolly have not got themselves out of the bottom half all season and can't buy a league win at the moment.
Going to be a good couple of months pool in Div 1 thats for sure.

Underneath that pleasant exterior he is actually a complete barsteward, hence his very apt nickname, 'the shark'. He'd bite your legs off for a fiver.

My intial post was before the Slates v Legion result came in!!
I think you are better equipped than a few of the other teams to beat the drop. Better equipped more so mentally as you've been there and importantly you survived. Legion & Pond in the past have got themselves into this position and not got out of it. Slates & Jolly aren't winning games reguarly and if it carries on that will, in the end, open the door for the current bottom 3. Next week is huge for the Pond & Legion as they meet.
I still reckon it will come down to the last week. Prop v Eagles in the final week. Sick. Could be a title decider. Relegation - I reckon two will all ready be down come the last game, and there will be as many as three teams in the hunt for the other drop zone position.
But Teach, I still think you'll stay up. But then, it down to me fella! ;)

It is refreshing for a change to see such an open title race and that coupled with the fact that the bottom will be as dramatic as ever makes the end to this season particularly interesting.
I think the only difference this season is that you do not have as many changes in positions from week to week with no bonus points. Wheras before you might make 5 points up on another team around you with the current format that is more like 2 or 3. With that in mind the teams in the bottom 3 will not want to be more than 6 points from safety come the final 3 weeks to have a chance of staying up. It is very tight at the bottom and i would say the Jolly V the legion in the final week will be a decider for both sides as to who gets the drop and potentially the Bloodhounds would have to beat their neighbours in the final week to stay up in another interesting final fixture. Whilst the Pond might need to get a result against a Cuemasters side which at full strength is tough to do. I will go with the following as the final table:
Eagles
Prop
Hot Shots
Patriots
Underpedicts
Cue Masters
Eden
Slates
Bloodhounds
Jolly
Legion
Pond q's

You have to love Berty's occasional entrance onto the site and his comments. He does get the odd prediction right. Of course, you have to say pool retirement is clearly showing signs of his time out of the game, aka prediction: Cuemasters to finish above the Eden? Jog on son.
Not once have I got my best 5 out this season and we are still mid-table!
And change that Location: Coney Poo and Poo - sounds better. ;)

important we got our 2 points back that we were deducted for a missing results card! the tables very tight at the top and the bottom and the way results have gone in previous weeks its all very open at both the top and the bottom. the legion, the pond the jolly and the hounds at full strength can take points off anyone in the division so certainly neither us,the eden or slates are by any means safe from the drop zone . at the top its just as interesting with the patriots missing a golden chance this week to take outright top spot! it will prob go to wire but i take the eagles to just pip the prop with hot shots taking 3rd!. at the bottom its harder to call the legion and pond need to start picking up results fast, and with the jolly and the hounds renowed for grinding out results i can see them staying up with maybe the slates getting drawn into the bottom 3.
