Unpredictables 8-2 Eagles
A scoreline that no one predicted...and it all started so well for the Eagles...Mev Ali broke, went in off, and Metin Tomris cleared...1-0 Eagles. Ollie O'Boyle was on the black in frame 2, but jawed a double, leaving Chris Knock with a mountain to climb..but after potting most of his balls he managed to lay a snooker. Ollie failed to get out of it, and left a foul snooker to boot. One pick up, three pots, 1-1.
Frame 3 was no break and dish, but Francois Tertullien did manage to leave Shaggy with 7 balls on the table...and the bad run continued when Graf Bishop beat Andy Esgrove, and birthday boy Micky Samuels beat Sean Kelly...4-1 at the end of the first set.
One miss from Metin gave Mev the chance for a precision clearance to exact revenge for the first frame...5-1. A tactical exchange saw Tom Telford play a forward thinking df to try and put Chris Knock in trouble, but Chris df'd back to put the squeeze on Tom...Tom's attempt to retrieve the situation potted one of Chris's balls leaving an easy finish which Chris promptly messed up...but got out of jail free with the position and completed the job to make it 6-1.
Eagles were looking a bit shellshocked, so Tony Nuttman did an Alex Ferguson by saying "The last two are the hardest to get"...Fran v Shaggy again for frame 8...just before it started Mick Saunders commented to me "can lightning strike twice?". My reply - "he'd have to break dish"...so Fran promptly did...albeit with a fortunate kiss to keep position on his last ball...7-1 Unpredictables.
Andy Esgrove beat Micky Samuels to keep a faint hope alive, but a couple of wayward shots from Ollie let Graf in to finish the job..
A very enjoyable match to watch, with some top class pool on display from both sides...and all done in under 2 hours!! |

The scoreline is very harsh on us, as some of the run that went against us was incredible. . . Summed up in Fran's Break&Dish when he had his head in his hands cursing himself for a poor shot, only to look back and find himself absolutley plum on his last 2 balls.
Was it Fate? Maybe. . .
However, run or no run, The Unpredictables took their chances, and the best team won.
We can have no complaints, especially in the 2nd five frames, as we had a couple of glaring chances only to miss.
Will be a very good final to watch. The Prop have been consistent all season so makes for a cracking final.
Well done lads, and good luck for the final X

Bit like man ure isn't it Spud? Treble chasers end up with one pot only, unless they blow the championship as well. |

AHAHAH Someone's had their Shreddies thias morning :-)
Of course we were treble chasing. . . .
But so were you guys, and the Prop, and the Unpredictables, and the Patriots. . . .
Just goes to show how difficult winning a treble actually is !!!
I'm sure someone of a finer vintage than myself can confirm this, but I think the treble has only ever been done twice in the CDPL history. |

 That's the nicest thing you've ever said on here - EVER!
I'm going to print this thread and show it to Mick.
Always a scary prospect coming up against the Eagles, especially over distance, but sometimes that helps... I had butterflies all day yesterday and although it showed a bit  towards the end of both my games, I thought I played pretty well. Not many people can say they got 2/2 against Shaggy!
The Eagles will deservedly win the league so a big thank you to them for giving us a sniff at the cup.
