K to E boundary
R to C2 (about 1 ft S of corner)
B shoots at R, misses to 1 ft S - no double.
Y shoots at K - a 20 yds + shot. Hits.
Y takes off from K, finds the jaws of H2. Retires into C1. Why didn't he just shoot at R in the first place?
B taps R, takes off to K which is a yard or two into the lawn. Doesn't get a rush. Takes off to Y in C1.
Rolls to H1, gets 2 ft in front and runs by 6". Isn't hampered on Y, rushes it just past the peg. Rolls Y behind 2 going to R. Sends R to H3 approaching H2. R goes halfway between H3 and H6, B has 2 yd hoop, straight. runs by 6" again. Hits Y.
Sends Y to H4, gets good rush on R. Should be an easy break from here.
B is making 1b with break under full control.
Looks like a spread coming up. R and K are at the peg as he makes 3b off Y.
Yep, good spread with R at the peg.
R shoots and misses to 1 yd E of C4.
K makes H 3 and rushes Y to H5. Takes off to R and sends it 7yds short of 4b getting rush on B to H4.
Sets up R and B at 4b before going to Y at H5
Light rain has started.
Peels B getting his rush to H6.
Leaves R at H6, takes off to B which he rushes to 1 ft to side of penult. Takes off and makes 1b off Y.
R is in a nice position 1 ft SW of penult. Sends Y to 3b getting a rush on B due N.
Cuts to 2 yds in front of penult. Peel attempt jawses. Rushes R 2 yds W of 2b.
Rushes R after 2b to short of H5, and just sends it to 4b without going to B.
Rushes Y to 5 yds to the W side of penult, and rolls to B. Rush peels B to halfway between penult and peg, takes off to R at 4b.
Positions B nicely about 1 yd in front of rover, going to Y at penult. Should be all over.
Irish peels at rover, from 1 ft dead straight. Black stays in jaws but can run no problem. Lamm takes the first +26tp
They keep the same colours.
R goes to E boundary.
K lays duffer tice, goes 1 ft past H6.
Y shoots at R from A baulk. Hits.
Sends R 7yds S of H2, rushes K to 3yds in front of H1. Approaches well, but runs to 6" through hoop. I'm called on to referee as he plays a sweep to K, 5 yds away. Clean, but misses.
B shoots at K/Y double, misses.
Y has 6 to 7 yd shot at both K and R.
Opts to play R, and hits Y.
R makes H1, and sends K to H3 going to Y at H2. B is still in C2. Runs H2 to boundary and considers shooting at R but opts for the safe 1 yarder at Y instead. Rushes 6 yds off the line and goes back to B in the corner. Plays a reasonable split to K, gets a good R but B is nearer H5 than H4.
Sends K to peg after H3, getting rush on Y which he takes to H5. Should be easy break from here.
R fails to run 2b, leaving K on h2 and R/Y at H1.
Lamm lifts B (I didn't see where from, but presumably near 3b). Hits Y and sends it 2 yd N of H1. Makes H1 and rushes R to W boundary opposite Y. Easy break from here.
Lamm is approaching H5, break under full control.
Rain has eased off now. It never got heavy enough for the players to don waterproofs.
Lamm looks to be setting up a spread, with R and K by the peg as he makes 3b off Y.
Yep, spread with R at the peg.
Landrebe lifts Y, shoots from B baulk....
....misses into C4.
K rushes B a bit close to R, and ends up with a rush on R due N, which he over-cuts to 5 yds behind H1. Takes off to good position and runs. He has the 3-ball break now with Y still in C3
Under-rolls, sending R 8 yds short of H3, and a longish rush which gives him a 2 yd approach. Runs H2 by nothing, not sure if he can hit B.
Opts not to try hitting B, and plays to N boundary behind H2.
R shoots at B and hits.
Rolls B to halfway between C2 and H2, getting no rush on K. Taps it and rolls it to 2 yds off W boundary opposite H1. Looks like he is wired from Y across H4. Sends R off 2 yds N of Y.
B shoots at K. Misses into C1.
R taps Y and takes off to B. Sends B to H2, getting a good rush to 2b. Rushes only half-way there, but plays a good approach.
Makes 2b and rushes K back towards H2. sends it 3 yds WNW of H2, getting a rush on B which goes to the boundary in front of 3b. Takes off to Y which is a yd or so off the yd line. Gets rush to 3b and makes it long, leaving a 5 yd shot/rush back to B. Hits it well, rushes behind B.
Sends Y a yard out of C4, rushes B to N boundary behind H2. Rolls to 1 yd due E of H2, getting rush on K due W. Cuts to boundary in a position which must be almost wired from B. Obviously trying for a cross-wired leave. Rolls K only a foot or so off boundary, I assume to be sure of the cross-wire.
R shoots back to 2 yds wide of Y on S boundary. Y is off boundary, so will have no useful rush.
B plays to just S of C3.
Y hits R to somewhere just off the end of A baulk. He is looking at laying a wired rush to H2, wired from K across H5. Changes his mind and takes off to K, moving R off boundary by 2yds, behind H4. Hits K almost into C2, takes off to H2 1 foot in front. Runs to boundary and has 5yd shot back to K which he hits.
Takes off back to R, too short for rush to H3. Taps R and takes off to B in C3
Goes off lawn next to B in the take-off.
B leaves Y 2 yds out of C3 towards H3, going to K. Rolls to W boundary level with H2, possibly wired from Y, and leaves rush towards H3. Y is shooting at B/K so obviously not wired. Hits the back ball K. Must have had a double.
Sends K out 3 yds E of H2, rushes B off S boundary behind R. Gets B to H4 and rush to H3.
Good rush, makes 3 and has a 2 foot peel attempt going to K near H2. Peel goes 6" through. No rush on K, rolls it to H5 leaving 3 yd rush on Y.
Sends B just N of H6 going to K at H5. Gets rush after H5 to E boundary opposite 4b. All looks like a standard TP from here.
Jawses R after making H6. K is a bit deep towards N boundary in front of 1b, and consequently B only goes just over peg-high on approach to K.
Sends K as a good 3b pioneer, rush-peels R which only goes 2 yds through. Plays god roll getting R 2 ft in front of rover, and a good rush on B.
That was supposed to be a good roll, its wasn't that godly.
Makes 2b, gets a good rush on R to peeling position 1 ft in front of rover. B is a bit short of 4b, by perhaps 5 yds. Peels R going to 3b.
Makes 3b, and gets rush on B to 4b with R at penult. Should be easy finish from here.
Landrebe finishes to level the match -26tp, +15tp.
Lunch break.
They keep the same colours. Missed the first few shots - Lamm is on third turn, and has just approached H1 off K with R 4 yds in front of H2. Makes H1.
B runs H2, 3-ball break still looks untidy with K near H6. Sends R 10 yds short of H4 getting his rush to H3. Makes H3 and rolls from opposite H6. Gets a reasonable rush to H4, beginning to look tidier now, should go round.
Just made H6, with 3-ball break under full control.
Finishes break under control. Sends R to max length position by W boundary, but maybe 4 yds off the yardline. Lays up with rush for K on E boundary.
Rush was left pointing to mid N boundary, which gives Y a double from B baulk. Misses to 2 yds S of K.
K hits Y and sends it 7 yds S of H3. Rushes B to 4 yds SE of H2. Takes off to R and gets good rush to H1.
Runs H1, and rushes R to H4. Takes off to Y leaving R 2 ft in front of H4. Rushes Y to B and sends it back to H3 with good rush on B to H2.
Makes H2, gets rush on B pointing at C4. cuts it 7 yds S of H3 and rolls to peeling position 1 yd S of 4b but a bit to the E.
Peels B with a rush on Y towards R at H4. B is 1 yd through 4b. Standard TP from here.
Jawses B after H6, leaving a rush on R to NE. Y is 2 yds E of 1b.
Makes 1b with a good R at 2b. Sends Y a little short of 3b. Rush-peels B which goes 2 ft to W of rover.
B is jawsed in rover going to Y at 3b. R is a good pioneer at 4b.
Sends Y to penult and rush-peels B before going to R at 4b. Should be all over now.
Somehow manages to rush B into jaws of rover trying to make sure of his rush on R which was a little S of the hoop. Sends B on through hoop going to R. No problem, but leaves a longer rush to peg out than he needed. Copes.
Lamm wins +26tp -15tp +26tp
