The Eagles 6-1 Rack Pack

Should see us through to the Quarter Finals and leaves a Week Three match against the Eden Cues to see who takes the top spot . .

---

It's 'Farley Eden', Daniel. :kiss:

No real shock with that result. Eagles notoriously always short of a few key players on a Monday night and the Rack Pack with little to play for in the comp. Roll over Rover.

---

You should just count your blessings that two teams qualify this year. :wink:

---

Sorry I wasn't sure if that was still the case what with most of your team practicing up at Rileys before matches these days . .

---

Farley '2 Hours a Week' Eden doesn't have the same ring.

---

Something the Red Deer players never do? :lol:

---

That's because the Red Deer is an absolute hole of a venue, hence why we practice elsewhere before our matches . .

As of next week our new home venue is Rileys Purley Way . .

---

:lol:

What table number have you been designated? 76?

---

I don't think we have got that far yet as we've been giving up home advantage to play there so whatever table we find ourselves on :lol:

---

So whats the new team name going to be next Winter?

Suzy's Eagles seems quite nice.....

---

I believe our initial intention is to play til the end of the season and work from there. The Deer is all well and good, but the reason we cant practice there is that the demand to play from the locals is great, and at times they have made it a chore to turn up there for all the comments and stares.

Whilst Suzys has many positives, you cannot replicate the advantage of playing in a decent boozer, and a place that gives you some identity.

---

We tried to find a venue in South Croydon for geographical purposes as the majority of our team are on this side of town or beyond.
We had high hopes for the Deer and the season started well for us, unfortunately, the management changed around Christmas time, and things changed for the worst.
Small things at first, but at the last home game, the table was situated about 5 feet to the left of the over head lights. . . And no-one there cared. . .
Since we are self funded and therefore owe them nothing, we decided to move our final few pieces of business to Suzy's.

Hannah has been kind enough to accomadate us, and we'll get together at the end of the current season and over the summer and take our venue situation from there.

---

not on a tuesday night...!

---

I'm sure most people in most teams hold a driving license. . . .

I'm also sure that Beer tastes better than J2O.

You can't have both unfortunately.

---

So do most of the Eden as they wouldn't be able to get to Suzy's for practice otherwise ;)

---

You little tinker you . . .

---

---

---

Warriors 2 - 5 Bloodhounds

Not the greatest night of pool you're ever gonna see but a cracking win for Palace up at Stoke.

This should be enough to take us through to the quarter finals!! Just trying to win the group to avoid the Red Deer!!:lol:

---

ELMER CUEMASTERS 4-3 BROMLEY CUEMASTERS.
deserved win for the home team tonight we had chances galore but failed to take hardly any so we can have no complaints. good enjoyable match heard the magnum force won 4-3 over the pats sp all teams can still get through or miss out so makes for an interesting final week.

---

The real McCoys 4 - Lending the name 3.

It was another cracking night of pool at the Elmer Lodge tonight. For centuries the sacred title Cuemaster had been bestowed on the very best pool playing teams in the world. The mere mention of the title 'Cuemaster' has for millenia sent teams running to far flung reaches of the country in an attempt to avoid their inevitable defeat.

Yet somehow by a strange miracle of circumstance our current league possessed not one but two teams each bestowed with the miraculous title. What was to be done? How was this absurd situation to be remedied? Fate sorted the specifics - and tonight a battle was fought to the death.

The two Cuemasters, Bromley and Elmer, met for the once in a lifetime battle. The right to decide who was really worthy of that miraculous name. On paper both teams seemed to have the requisite credentials, but which team had truly earned the name past down from millenia of Cuemasters, and which were bandishing the shield, hiding that dark secret, that they were frauds that they weren't the real McCoy?

Spectators had to shield their eyes from the luminous light that filled the room as the two teams stood to open the battle with the signing of the team sheets. Miles around the Beckenham area people were seen pointing westward at the strange glow that eminated from that glorious building - known localy as The Elmer Lodge.

It was no easy task to sort these two teams. The captain of the Bromley Cuemasters took to the stage first securing the first game for his team and sending the Elmer warrior - Gary Bacon back to his seat wondering what he had done wrong. Despite Andy Bentleys impressive start Casey fast earning a reputation as the meanest cue in the south, approached the table. The omens were good for the Elmer warriors as Casey grinned with a seeming forsight of the victory he was about to craft, deadly stick in hand he bent to the table. With a battle that would have made Napoleon proud he secured the second game for the Elmers. Elmer Cuemsasters 1 - Bromley Cuemasters 1.

Testimony to the valour of the great Elmer side, a certain Mr David Rimmer took on an army of barbaric football thugs as he shouted (and yes this is true...) "Can you all be quite! Don't you know there is a pool match going on in here?" - In true warrior fashion, so as not to deny this courageous man any of his glory the Elmers stepped to one side clearly distancing themself from this valiant man and his army of football cheerers (numbering no less than forty in number, it should be realised!) To the relief of both sides standing at the table, Dave decided to let the rabble off, the stares subsided, and the match continued.

It ebbed and flowed until finally battle weary and bloodied the true champions stood proud. They had secured victory from the imposters and won a result that will forever reverberate in the annuls of Cuesports.

Elmer Cuemasters 4 - Bromley Cuemasters (title on loan) 3.

An amazing victory for the division four side that are recently abolishing any that dare step in their way. With the untouchable powers of the Cuemaster shield now forever rightfully theirs, who can stand in their way?

The Bromely Cuemasters however it must be said, possess qualities worthy of their champion team for which they are so well regarded.

The battle they brought to that table will forever be remembered in Beckenham lore. A team as gracious in defeat as any ever encountered.

The Elmer Cuemasters have now settled surely, any questions as to the proper lineage of the title. The battle now over they have fought so hard to win, the Elmer Cuemasters once again adorn themselves in the shield that is Cuemaster. A team united. A team victorious.

(special thanks go to the Bromley Cuemaster Captain - for not shunning me at the bus-stop, as the dark bitter wind blew all around me, but instead - for pulling over and driving me home - you don't get much more gracious than that!)

The team of warriors : Gary Bacon, Casey Everit, Ricky Cook, David Rimmer, Marco Angelo, Gary Moylan, Andy Barnsdale - and of course, -Ted Freeman, a never ending source of inspiration and drive to his team - are taking a few hours to enjoy their victory - before they get back to the table and prepare, once again, to break another teams dreams.

---

you have far to much time on your hands big jake!

---

:lol:

---

any body know how the Prop got on against the Hot shots

---

I was wondering that . . .

---

I think Big Jake needs a drug test.

---

Addicts 4 Farley Eden 3

went down to the wire last night, with all games close

very competitive, but we took our chances well

cheers lads

---

I'm pretty sure that the Prop were 3-0 down then won the next 4 to make it 4-3 to the Prop. I think they had a double header and were playing a league game after but not sure of that result

---

Hot Shots 3-4 The Propeller

---

Well played to the Addicts last night - they came back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 then we got back to 3-3 & they win the decider...

They took the chances, but we seem to have lost our form (Of beating Hot Shots/Ego's) well behind - Looks like we have to beat the Ego's to go through :roll:

as it will be no surprise to me if we see a 7-0 win for the addicts in the last..... :?:

---

It was indeed 4-3 to us, we were 4-1 up and probably thinking one foot in the next round but fair play to our fellow Eagles residents they fought back well to make it very interesting for next week, squeaky bums time as Fergie would say. :winking:

---

absolute classic made my day reading that except for the result of course.i think when ever theres a finals night big jake should be paid(in beers of course) to report and write an essay the next day on the site:lol:! once again well played the elmer boys last night our team just did not turn up.:(

---

It went all the way to 3 -3 and the imps lost the last .:no:

---

I think our group is now as follows

Bloodhounds 9
Imperials 8
Legion 7
Warriors 4

Legion v Warriors
Bloodhounds v Imperials

Although the Warriors would need to beat us 6-1/7-0. I make it that all 4 teams can still go through.

EG :- Bloodhounds 3-4 Imperials & Legion 5-2 Warriors

Final table

Bloodhounds 12
Imperials 12
Legion 12
Warriors 6


With The Bloodhounds beating the legion, The Legion beating the Imperials & the Imperials beating the Bloodhounds.


How the f**k would you sort that out. ;)

---

Surrey 193's 7 - 0 Pawleyne Arms. :D

---

Having just recieved the league cup tables - and double checked them on line - could anyone explain how come Hot Shots have managed to 'DRAW' 2 frames ??

They lost 4-3 to The Prop, and beat us 6-1 the game before!! :eek2:

---

The D stands for deducted. Presume another late card.

Cheers Shaggy :ohmygod:
