Tour 1:
24/25th March, Morley
Main: R1
Plate: R2
I was very much looking forward to my first tour event, drawn against Louise Etherington who had narrowly beaten me 3-2 at England trials earlier in the month. But it was apparent from my first frame at 9.30am that I wasn't in my usual form, missing pots and safety by some margin. We both struggled in a few of the frames but Lousie took the match 5-1 and deservedly so.
My first round plate opponent hadn't turned up so I wasn't called out to play again until 7.30pm, although I was confident I would play better than the morning session. Unfortunately I didn't do much right, going in off at least half a dozen times and losing 4-0.
I came away very disappointed as everything has been going right for me at County so far this season and I didn't do myself justice at all!! I have a 12.30pm start at Tour 2 in Peterborough against Dawn Woodcock to work towards now in May.
Congratulations to Sue Thompson for coming back from 5-2 down to win the main event 7-5 against Collette Henrickson, it was a great match!! Also well done to Rebecca Osborne who took the plate prize against Michelle Rooney after being 4-1 down.
