| 10:00 |
Slight teething troubles with the
wireless network means that I've missed the start of some
matches. However I'll try and pick it up as we go along. |
| 10:15 |
James had a supershot with black and Aaron went just
out of second corner. James missed, and Aaron hit the
double, but has not got a rush to hoop 1 |
Not started yet, they're still setting the hoops |
Rob went in a standard spot on the EB, Keith went 1
foot out of 2nd corner. Rob shot(?) at K's ball and ended
up in the corner. K shot and hit but failed hoop 1. Rob
has made hoop 1 and is now trying to pick up a break. |
Not sure about the start, but Kirby is now on a break
at hoop 5 |
| 10:20 |
Aaron failed to approach hoop 1, so retired to corner
4. James now has Aaron's break |
Hoops now set. Players practising |
Rob has just failed to approach hoop 2 out of the
second corner |
Kirby now approaching 1-back |
| 10:25 |
Turns out the CA office has windows with
the reflective coating, so my connection's a bit flaky at
the moment. |
| 10:30 |
James stuck on hoop 4 rolling out of IV, but Aaron
failed hoop 1. |
Still(!) practising |
Keith missed and Rob has just made hoop 4 with blue. |
Jonathan is having an NSL with Black on hoop 4. |
| 10:35 |

Finally started. Evans had a supershot with blue. Reg
went to the maximum distance spot on the EB. Marcus has
just hit the shot down the boundary |
Rob was hampered on his pioneer after running 5, but
hit a 5 yarder at partner which was still near 4. |
Ken missed the long lift with black |
| 10:37 |
Aaron is on hoop 3 with this laid 4 ball break that
James has handed him. |
Marcus made a slightly angled hoop 1, and is now
approaching 3 with no hoop 4 pioneer (the hoop 3 pioneer
was deep) |
Rob has just made 1-back |
Jonathan has picked up his second break fairly well,
and is making 4 off partner with all the balls placed for
a delayed TP |
| 10:41 |
Aaron's just made hoop 5 |
Marcus got straight 2-3 ft position at 4 but failed
it, trying to run to a ball on the boundary. |
Rob's for 3-b with all the balls placed for a spread
in a minute |
Jonathan looks like he has rushed partner too far to
do the first peel before 6, and hasn't got a great rush
either. |
| 10:44 |
Aaron's on 1-back, looking like he's going to have a
NSL with Black (the 1-b ball) at hoop 2 |
Reg has hit his 7 yarder and is now on hoop 2. |
Rob has had a very tight diagonal spread, Keith has
lifted the ball at 2 (Y) and is about to take the short
lift. But he's missed it |
Jonathan has failed hoop 6 and Ken has hit. He has
rushed to near hoop 5 so is about to try and roll off 1 |
| 10:49 |
Aaron is completing his NSL. |
Reg has just made 3 |
Rob has made hoop 1 with a tight break, but has
partner at 2 |
Ken failed hoop 1, and Jonathan shot from 2 to 1 but
missed. Ken has now run 1. |

James has failed hoop 1, Aaron is shooting from hoop
2 with Red (the 4-b ball), but misses |

Rob did the first peel quite deep (~1 yard off NB)
and then rushed into hoop 3 after 4, but has played a
good croquet stroke to get a rush back up the lawn on the
peelee |
Ken has made 2 and 3 and tried to approach 4 out of
the corner, but failed, so retired to partner on the NB.
Jonathan is now looking at his shot with Y from behind
hoop 4 |
| 10:59 |
James has all the balls for a TPO, and has just done
the first peel |
Reg has just made 2-b |
Rob is on hoop 6 but the position's a bit loose now,
he'll be rushing to it from 3 yards behind, and putting
the peelee out from further. |
Jonathan went in II with Y and Ken is playing with
the hoop 1 ball and getting the balls out into the middle |
| 11:03 |
James has just made 6 and is about to do the second
peel |
Reg has put together a diagonal spread with the hoop
4 ball (K) at hoop 2 |
Rob has used his loose 1-b pioneer to his advantage
by failing to put the peelee into position, and then
having a Wylie penult peel |
Ken approached hoop 1 from the Red which was on the S
boundary in front of it, and has just rushed to hoop 2.
He doesn't have a tight hoop 3 pioneer having rushed too
close to partner to stop the ball out. |
| 11:07 |
James has not done the third peel before 3-b, but it
does look like it is 2" dead straight in front |
Marcus shot at the ball by (1 ft away from) the peg,
but missed. Reg has rushed too close to get a ball to 2,
and is looking at getting a rush to the ball on the SB |
Rob has not managed the third peel before 3-b either,
and has had to swap his pioneers before 4-b |
Ken failed hoop 2, but Jonathan missed from near 3.
Ken has just ran 4 with a three ball break and got the
extra 2'6", but hit his return 4 yarder anyway. |
| 11:12 |
James has completed the TPO, and had two off, 1-b vs.
1. He left partner next to rover such that it was
difficult to approach 1. Aaron elected to take the 8
yarder as the balls lay and hit it. He approached 1 from
near the end of a-baulk but failed it. James has taken
position at 1-b |
Reg has just failed 3, with all the balls for a
standard TP around. Marcus now has a 1 yarder with his
hoop 1 ball. |
Rob has done the third peel straight, but looks
hampered. Apparently hampered enough to need 2 referees! |
Ken is on 2-b having dug out all the balls now |
| 11:17 |
James has made 1-b, and run away, Aaron got position
at 1 off the lift, James went on the SB about 10 yards
away. Aaron ran 1 and took position at 2, James didn't
get position at 2-b Aaron ran 2 and took position at 3. |

Rob hit his hampered shot and finished +26tp |
Ken has had an NSL with the 4-b ball at hoop 4 |
| 11:25 |
Aaron ran 3 and shot at James, but missed. James hit
Y and rolled off 2-b but didn't approach 3-b. Aaron shot
and missed so James picked him up and approached 3-b and
ran it to the N boundary, and has just approached and ran
4-b. He has just finished +10tpo |
Marcus has just rushed to 4 |
I missed the opening in this game but it involved Rob
shooting with R at K, a 7 yarder fourth turn near hoop 3
with a ball Y in the background near hoop 5, U was
somewhere between 1 and 2. Rob hit the background ball
and is now going round |
Jonathan hit the lift with Y and made a leave. Ken
missed and Jonathan has just made another leave with

Drinks break |
Marcus is on 6, the break has been a bit scrappy |
Rob is approaching 3 from about 3 yards straight |
Jonathan is about to rush to 6 from behind 4 |

A lot of trouble with the wireless

infrequent. |
| 11:47 |
Supershot opening by James, Aaron dribbled. James
Dribbled. Aaron missed. James failed hoop 3. Aaron Failed
hoop 1, James missed |
Marcus seems to have failed 3-b. Reg is in with Y,

Reg has gone round the houses (rush to U, rush back
to K, rush to 3) and has failed 3. |
Keith's just made 2-b |

James hit his 13 yarder at R with U, rushed to 1 and
made it, but failed 2 having approached it out of the

is near 4 and U is next to 2 |
| 12:43 |
Aaron picked up the ball in I before, putting it to 6
going to the ball at 5, but came up a bit short and
missed his gentle shot. James is playing with the hoop 2
ball and has all the balls. |
Marcus has just had a reverse diagonal spread, but
instead of having the balls near the boundaries,
everything is is in the middle of the lawn (but still
wired/hampered). Reg shot from a baulk, but missed |

about to shoot at the double down the boundary |
Rob is about to peel penult after 6. |

games mixed up in the columns |

Reg is approaching 2-b |
Rob has made 3 and has taken off the lawn going to
the ball in IV from the NB |

able to attempt the second one after 6 and partner is now
going to 2-b |
| 14:28 |

playing for a DL. So Aaron has 3 balls near the EB about
level with 5, but doesn't like his target from the end of
b-baulk and is shooting from III. |
Reg has failed his second peel, and has just
approached 4-b |
Keith is now on 3 with a 4 ball break |
Jonathan is making 2-b |

Aaron's made 1, with K (the hoop 1 ball) at 2, U is
between 3 and 4. |
Reg hasn't done the penult peel, and is now for
rover. |
Keith's on 6 |
Jonathan's left R a little bit N of penult, so not
ideal, but he does seem to be peeling from 18"
straight. |
| 14:38 |
It looks like Aaron is fancying the TPO, but he's
just ran three by 3 yards, so doesn't have a lot of
control back at the peelee |
Reg has had a spread at penult & peg |
Keith has just made 1-b |
Jonathan failed the peel, but kept it right in front
of the hoop, so he's got a good chance doing it straight. |
| 14:41 |
Aaron hit the peelee too hard, but has left it behind
near 3, so maybe he'll have it delayed... |
Marcus missed his short shot with the ball from by
the peg |
Keith is on 3-b |
Jonathan played the straight peel well, and got the
peelee down to next to rover. He's now got a slightly

ball near IV. He now has all the balls. |
Jonathan Rolled off the lawn after hitting his
duffer. Ken is now going round, on hoop 4. U is still
near the WB. |
| 15:05 |

Reg is on hoop 3 |
Keith is on hoop 6 with the balls placed for a
delayed TP attempt |
Ken is for hoop 5 |
| 15:08 |
James has just had to hit his hoop 6 pioneer by
jumping over the peelee. He managed to land on top of it

with Y near 4. Jonathan missed K with Y |

yarder with the U and has just ran 1, and needs to do a
DP to get in the semis. |
Reg has just made 3 |
|
Ken has just peeled rover. But had to jump partner,
and just clipped it going through, he's rolled it back to
the peg through the hoop |
| 16:35 |

bounced back, rather than sticking in the jaws. |
Reg is on 6 |
|
Ken has left Jonathan a choice of a 7 yarder with the
forward ball and a 9 yarder with the backward, having

|
Marcus fingered off his lift from by the peg, but
missed it anyway. |
|

then retired to partner. Y shot through ending up in II,
but then Ken missed his 3 yarder at partner on the
boundary |
| 16:56 |
|

|

|
Reg is on 3 with a standard TP |
|
Ken got an angled hoop 1 attempt and failed it.

| 17:03 |
|

in this quarter final. |
|
Jonathan's just making 4 |
| 17:07 |
|
Reg has made 5 with the other balls at 6. |
|
Jonathan has just made 6 |
| 17:10 |
|
Reg has just done the second peel after 6 |
|
Jonathan is making 2-b and has left K floating near
4, so I guess it is another NSL |
| 17:13 |
|
Reg has just made 1-b |
|
I think that Jonathan and I have just remembered that
he is for 2 and a NSL isn't such a good leave. It's
looking more like a spread now. |
| 17:14 |
|
Reg just attempted the 3rd peel before 2-b but hit
the outside of the wire |
|
Jonathan's just made 3-b |
| 17:16 |
|
Reg is about to try the 3rd peel before 3-b |
|
It's looking more like an OSL now, Since Jonathan
christed off K near the peg a couple of yards from
position. R & Y are about 3 yards apart just outside
IV. |
| 17:19 |
|
Reg has done the 3rd peel and is now for 4-b |
|
Ken missed the short lift with U (which was at 2) |
| 17:21 |
|
Reg has made 4-b |
|
Jonathan has rushed well to 2, and has made it. He
now has all the balls for a standard TP |
| 17:24 |
|
Reg is about to make rover |
|
Jonathan has done the first peel and is on 4 |
| 17:26 |
|
Reg has pegged out +26tp (3-1) |
|
Jonathan is for hoop 5 |
| 17:29 |
|
|
|
Jonathan is on hoop 6, but peelee is not behind the
hoop |
| 17:32 |
|
|
|
Jonathan is for 1-b and Partner is now going to 2-b |
| 17:36 |
|
|
|
Jonathan has made 3-b but didn't get a forward rush.
He's put the blue 6 yards past penult, but did get close
to peelee, but it's still not tight. |
| 17:40 |
|
|
|
Not a good peel attempt. The peel didn't go through
and he didn't get a good rush to 4-b however he has
played a good approach and has run the hoop |
| 17:41 |
|
|
|
Jonathan has waltered off his straight peel attempt,
and has ran penult by 8 yards. He's ow got a choice
between a 2 yarder at his rover pioneer, or a 6 yarder at
the ball at penult. He's taken on the two yarder |
| 17:44 |
|
|
|
Jonathan's made rover. He's now putting together
another OSL, which is the best he could have done in the
circumstances |
| 17:49 |
|
|
|
Ken is considering the "triple target" from
B baulk, and has decided to take it. R&Y are only a
foot apart, pointing at K, so they're not adding much to
the target. It's about a 16 yarder to K, and he's hit it
centre ball. |
| 17:52 |
|
|
|
Ken got a cannon from R&Y, and has rushed R to
about 2 yards to the side of the hoop. He's slightly over
approached, tried to jump and failed it. Jonathan can't
see it, so he's taking on a 10 yarder at K near hoop 4,
but he's missed |
| 17:57 |
|
|
|
Ken dribbled K back towards U, but Jonathan hit with
Y (the peg ball) at R near IV. |
| 18:00 |
|
|
|
I guess U can't run 1, as Jonathan is looking at
putting K somewhere near 2 and going back to partner |
| 18:03 |
|
|
|
K shot at U, which is possibly right in front of a
wire. He missed. Jonathan has rushed to about 5 yards to
the side of penult, and is now playing a square split to
put Y towards II, however it has hit penult and is now
just in the middle of the lawn. R has hit U and is going
to move K towards IV. |
| 18:07 |
|
|
|
Jonathan scattered yellow, so R & Y are now about
12 yards apart on the NB |
| 18:10 |
|
|
|
Ken shot K from near IV at U by hoop 1 and missed.
Jonathan shot Y from behind 2 at R in front of 3 and
missed |
| 18:11 |
|
|
|
Ken's approached to 1" at a slight angle, gets a
referee out, and finally runs the hoop. He's now rushed
to near hoop 3 |
| 18:14 |
|
|
|
Ken rushed to behind 2, but hasn't taken off far
enough. So he's running away to I. Kirby's shooting Y
from III at R behind 2 |
| 18:17 |
|
|
|
Jonathan's missed. Ken took U at K, and has missed
joining up in I. |
| 18:19 |
|
|
|
Jonathan hit his 7 yarder at Y and is now taking off
to the balls in I. He's left himself a 7 yarder, which
he's hit. |
| 18:22 |
|
|
|
He's slightly underhit his rush to penult, but only
slightly. He's approached it OK, and has had plenty of
wire to only go through by 6". He has played a good
shot to rush K to 4 ft out of I, so he now has a chance
of rushing U to rover |
| 18:24 |
|
|
|
Jonathan's rushed well to rover, and he has made it.
He has got a rush back up the lawn and has rushed to
behind 2. A good take off and he has a rush to the peg.
Which he has rushed to 4 ft from the peg. Kirby +25 (3-1) |
| 18:30 |
Well, this is me signing off. I'll see
what I can do tomorrow, although there is rain forecast,
so I'm not sure about having the laptop outside. Also the
power cables probably aren't weatherproof. But I'll see
what I can do. Dave
