Cambridgeshire County Pool Teams plough
into Suffolk
Match day three of the Intercounty Pool League
gave Cambridgeshire a home fixture against local rivals Suffolk at their
Cambridge venue.
Unlike their football team the Ipswich based
County went home with little more than a win in the youth section.
The 'A' team lead by captain Dale Parson started
the ball rolling with a 24 frames to 20 win. Jonathan Middleton of Cambridge
taking the man of the match award for what Dale said ' was the most clinical
performance he'd seen for a long time on a pool table'.
The 'B' team took the spoils by the same margin
with an exceptional performance by Trevor Pauley who won all 4 of his frames.
The Ladies took a closely fought match 23 frames
to 21 having led 19 to 14 going into the last session they made heavy weather
of the win but an inspired Julie MacKintosh from Cambridge secured the win
with the very last frame of the match which also gave her a 100% record for
the day. Ladies Captain and City Cueist Carly Smith said ' the matches
against Suffolk are always a tight encounter and it's great to be on
the winning side of a great match as we seem to have been on the wrong end by
the odd frame
too many times against them'
The Youth team were unlucky to fall to a 20
frames to 24 defeat although Peterborough Player Jamie Stokes did his best
with a faultless 4 from 4. He Said in defeat that ' 'we have many players in
their debut season and for a little bit of good fortune the result could quite
easily have been reversed'
All in all the positive results from the weekend
have put all the teams in great positions in the league with our next fixture
at home on May 18th versus Essex they all have the opportunity to close the
gap on the top teams and make a real push for silverware.
