usefull team the trades but cant see them pulling it off tonight! just think the elmer at full strength will have to much firepower. elmer to win 4-1 and claim the 1st silverware in there 7 month existence.

Can someone confirm what it's the best to tonight - I thought it was a longer match, but am not sure now! Anyone know for certain?

The KO Cup has always been a straight best of 7 knock-out, and I would be almost 100% certain the plate will be the same.

The league cup later stages has always been played to a different longer format.

One chance only. Thats why there have been so many winners of the KO Cup over the years.

Cheers Shaggy - best of 7 sounds good, should be a good night, but with a match tomorrow as well - best of 7 would be nice!

having won our league, beaten the warbank, farley loyalists a, the dukes, the maple tree, the thicket, the seamen and the imperials in various cup exploits this year - we fear nobody.....although to give a full balance we have also been comprehensively beaten by the eden, prop and bromley cuesmasters :elol: - so roll onto tonight should be a good game...may the best team win :kiss:

Good luck to the Farley Trades tonight, I reckon you'll do it. Both the Elmer and Trades this season have proved you are both in the wrong divisions. Playing from the same stable I hope the Trades bring home the bacon...

Now now mr Longshanks just because you only have your league standing left to play for :lol:

We're looking forward to tonight, we need the plate to keep the prospects of the treble alive for us. League, Plate, and Knockout, yes... If Carlsburg made winners they would surely make the Elmer Cuemasters :winner:

I've always thought this comp should be called the Knocked Out Cup

Not quite the treble is it? Division 4, losers cup and the League Cup. It would be a good achievement to win the Laegue Cup, but you won't.

Lonshanks 1+1+1 = 3, otherwise termed three, or 'a treble'.

Lets just count our respective trophies at the end of the season shall we? >=)

In fairness to Longshanks he knows what it is like to toil in lower league obscurity, being a Charlton fan and all.

Good luck to our stablemates tonight. Ted and the team have done a great job after strategically re-organizing before this season and leaving those made redundant to navigate their way around the crazy golf course up the road in the Langley. 4-2 to the Elmer for me.

Twas 3-4 in favour of the worthy winners. Whilst we had our chances, credit where its due. 1-0 down, 2-1 up, 3-2 down which culminated in a decider as it went 3-3. both number 7's there for a reason ( no disrespect!!!) the final frame was offered to both teams several times.........oh well. congrats to the the elmer squad. do we get a saucer to compliment our run? :idea:

I thought Big Jake would have been on by now. He is either in the middle of writing his eighteen page match report or he is lying in a ditch somewhere having over-celebrated winning the first leg of the much-coveted treble.

more than likely in a ditch somewhere! or maybe the cleaner found him crashed out under a table this morning....:drunk::drunk:

In fact there was a celebration yesterday night for an hour or so back at the Elmer (thanks Ted) - and very nice it was too. But we were careful not to be too over zealous... We're all focussed on the closing matches now - I'm sure there will be plenty of time for crashing under tables if/when we win the league though :drunk: :lol:

*winks* just saving my energy for the demolition we need to cultivate tonight.
