I'd just got my cue back after having the tip taken down by a couple of mm so I was a bit aprehensive as to how I would play with it. It turned out I got on really well and found it easier to cope with than I thought I would, I had to concentrate on my shots a bit more but that can only be a good thing!
This week I had Sonny first match. It was always going to be tough as he is one of the top players in our league, although he made a few mistakes and I SHOULD have been 3-2 up if it wasn't for my own missed pots. I ended up losing 6-1!
Dougie was next up and I was hoping to get a few on the board to be honest, but Dougie wasn't missing a thing and stormed into a 5-0 lead! I thought I was down and out but managed to nick the 6th frame although the white was hanging over a pocket to go in off the black! I then took the next 3 frames to claw it back to 5-4 but Dougie played a good shot to get his bad balls out in the 10th and took the match 6-4. I must admit I was quite happy with the result after thinking it would be a white wash!
I've got 3 matches next week v Sarah, Lee & Danny... I have got to try and get a win on the board!
