The Day Of The Jackal

In what was certainly the match of the season so far The Jackal, in front of a crowd of 3, finally edged out The Fist on the final black of the 4th frame after 3 hours and 20 minutes of gripping snooker. The first frame saw both players set out their stall to give nothing away, absolutely nothing. Ten minutes for the first pot. The Jackal found his attacking range quicker but The Fist replied in this chess like encounter. It went to the colours and was won by a great pink from The Jackal. The Fist came out more determined in the 2nd frame and ground ahead as The Jackal started to sweat, literally. It seemed the Jackal had been forced into submission but he potted great a brown, blue, pink and then produced the fluke of the tournament to win on the black. There then followed a mild celebration by The Jackal. The Fist showing a great temperament refused to lie down, and The Jackal buoyed by success changed his style to all out attack. The third frame was quicker and The Fist forged ahead , The Jackal fought back, but The Fist held him off on the pink to take it. On to the final frame. The Fist was immense but The Jackal scented victory. The Fist was close to victory playing great snooker but at the death The Jackal potted some great colours again. It was down to the final black and a fine pot from The Jackal sealed it. This great game showed the league is wide open and competitive. Believe me, this was classic drama.

Quotes :

The Jackal " can I go to bed now ?"
The Fist "I thought Carl would win, but I knew I had a chance because he is shit. I am just shitter"

The Hurricane Is Blown Off Course

Title favourite The Hurricane saw his title hopes suffer an early setback as he was whitewashed 4-0 by The Lockout. The first game was edgy with both players being cautious with thier positional shots meaning breaks were small and the frame went to the colours. At this point The Lockout, sporting a bright purple tee shirt, moved up a gear and with clinical precision picked off the colours one at a time to take the frame on the pink. The second frame was similar with The Hurricane edging clear without playing particularly fluent snooker. The Lockout needed all of the colours and he laid a brilliant snooker on the brown and then cleared the last 4 balls with a break of 22 in the highlight of the league so far. 2- 0. In the third frame The Hurricane opened up the game with a new aggressive policy which was working well as The Lockout seemed almost inept. But just as it seemed The Hurricane would move easily back into the match The Lockout again picked off the colours and then the Hurricane disastrously went in off the pink leaving the pink over the middle pocket. The iceman Lockout was not going to  miss this opportunity. 3-0. The fourth frame was a canter for The Lockout as The Hurricane ran out of puff and conceded on the blue.

Post match quotes :

The Hurricane "that's it, I've retired"
The Lockout "the title is mine"
