Flukes Schmukes. . . . It's pool, and luck plays a massive part. You're always going to cheer a fluke when it happens in your favour, every team does.
The big Taboo is cheering your opponents bad luck, such as an in-off. That's a no no.
Strange pockets on the tables last night, nearly every rail shot jawwed, no matter how sweet they were hit. Swung a few results for sure, but overall think it evened itself out.
Nerves were rife in both camps, but it was still good quality pool, only two or three fudge fests, out of 21 frames, thats not bad.

The Oakfield were fantastic in defeat, a fine team who will be back on this stage sooner rather than later. Hats off, I really do have a lot of time for these guys.

Pawleyne MOTM was Darren Ball. 3 from 3, taking massive scalps along the way, and winning the decider under intense pressure.
Every player done thier bit though, and I'm immensely proud of the team this morning.

I'm delighted for everyone associated with the Pawleyne, we'll celebrate long and hard over this one.
Realistically, the division 1 title, and the league cup are never going to be won by anyone other than the top 2 or 3 teams.
So it's the KO cup which remains the holy grail for teams beyond that, and at the 4th time of asking, and after much heart break, we finally crept over the line in a final. . . .

I am the fella who recently got run over by a train. . . .

I'm chuffed to bits!!
