Dorset B 15-29 Bristol B

At Legends, Dorset, 11th April 2010

 

Match Report – Well done my B Team that’s as good a result as we could have wished for considering the amount of drop outs we had Sunday. Dorset came flying out of the traps winning the first 4 frames, in fairness they dished 3 out of those 4, but we managed to still win the 1st set 6-5 with some great stuff. We improved in the 2nd set with a 7-4 win & were showing signs of pulling away from a Dorset team who were either playing above themselves or they had a very bad day against Wiltshire last month. The 3rd set saw us playing even better winning this won 8-3 although you had to feel a little sorry for Danny who told about everyone in the UNIVERSE that he had been dished off his break Twice J!!!! So we were going into the 4th set with quite a good lead and saw us keeping up the standard winning it 8-3 unlike previous years where this set used to be our nemesis, it might be the younger players like myself having more stamina than the older ones J!!!!!

 

Man of the Match There are a few candidates this month James Lane, Rob Winstone, Marcus Foster, Stu Scotland & myself all getting 3 from 4, but there were Two 4 from 4’s & that was Dave Fox who came in as my wildcard i'm glad to say & Charlie size 12’s Southcott who played immaculate pool, so my MOTM has to go to Charlie with some awesome play, thoroughly deserved mate!!!!!

 

Next Match – Home to Cornwall which is a massive game for us, they have beaten Somerset convincingly already so we need to be on our game. If we play like we have then we stand a great chance of getting something out of the game, but like I have said before FOCUS, no COMPLACENCY & TEAM SPIRIT will get us through this, so come on my B Team its ours for the taking

 

 

Please note:-

 

After witnessing player after player drop out throughout the week it has left me a little bemused with some players commitments, I am disappointed that we only had 12 players in our team yesterday. I know you all had your reasons & that’s fine but if we are only going to get 4 or 5 games out of certain players in the season then you have to question yourselves???? If you feel like you are not going to commit then can you let me know ASAP as there are countless players itching to get into the team who will turn up monthly! This isn’t a gripe, but to only have 12 players out of a squad of 30 doesn’t seem right!!!!!!!
