Results from tonight:

Warbank 11-5 Better Halfs

On paper this looks like a thrashing, but look a little deeper....

Warbank - historically a 1st Div team, bags of experience, been together a long time...

Better Halfs - fairly new into the league, a few of them played for the Flippers a while back....

Make no mistake - the Better Halfs team acquitted themselves VERY well tonight, and a few of their players were genuinely upset at losing.

The quality of pool I saw from both sides was of a very good standard, and IMO, all that let the Halfs down was their lack of big match experience.

Their chance WILL come again....

Farley Eden 11-9 The Jolly

Eden took an early lead, and looked to be cruising at 5-0 up...but Chris Bensalem's team have taken on his trait of never knowing when they are beaten....5-0 became 6-2, which then went to 8-4.....even at 10-6 they kept battling....

The final will be interesting.....
