Ups and Downs

Just in case anyone didn't know (I didn't), according to the official website the promotion and relegation has changed this year and it's 3 up/3 down. So by my reckoning that's that, we're Div 3 next season.

Bill Preece Memorial Cup (Pairs)

Congratulations to Messrs Cole & Edwards who are through to the quarter finals of the pairs.

Quarter Final: Wednesday 18th April

Military Club No.1

D Cole & M Edwards v A & J Dallow

End Of Season Meal

Yes, it's that time of year again. Good Friday (April 6th), at Razbari, Whitecross Road. The averages, the spoon and rumour has it the Golden Boot?

* Table booked for 8.30, meeting in the Brit 7-7.30 for appetisers.

The Streak Continues

Not a winning streak, the other kind. Both sides struggled to get going but a 99 leg from Lost Heads made all the difference. The alley didn't want to give anything away with every pin hard earned. Last game next week, away at home, and not quite safe from the drop yet...

Thanks Dave

Captain Bob was under great pressure to avoid relegation this season

Whitecross Loss

As someone who carefully picks which games I deign to attend, I missed this one. A magic wardrobe that opens out into an enchanted skittle alley. Or something like that. You can tell I've had no information about this one can't you?

CSI: Hereford

The date: Friday 9th March 2012
The place: Addison's bar, Hereford United Social Club
The motive: Unclear
In what appears to be an unprovoked attack, the captain's first ball (reports from the scene have not confirmed which leg), was intercepted. Authorities are currently working on a 'lone footman' theory. The perpetrator has been identified by at least 11 eye witnesses but cannot be named for legal reasons. Under questioning he was evasive and appeared embarassed. This is unlikely to save him from what is expected to be a lengthy period of piss-taking.

Bill Preece Memorail Cup (Pairs)

Round 5: Wednesday 21st March

Hereford Snooker Centre

D Cole & M Edwards v A Brooks & M Thomas

300

Nothing to do with the clothes-light historical(ish) epic of the same name, but a score we failed to hit once more. Another poor night, this time out at Credenhill where we just couldn't seem to get the rub of the green. I think the near zero chance of a cushion penalty may have been off-putting. That's one wide alley.

A Good Start

First night at the new alley and a promising start. Good omens handed down by Mr Edwards as he chucked the first ball down for a flopper. Some took a little longer to adjust (no finger pointing here). All this and Butty too.

Ooof

Not a good night at the Buck, including probably the lowest score for a leg this reporter has ever seen. Dire.
