Lockout Snares The Badger

Another great game at Mill Drove in front of a crowd of 2 saw Lockout snatch take the final frame to claim a 2-2 draw. The match of two hours and forty minutes  (2 hours shot time for Lockout and 40 minutes for The Badger) seemed to be heading the way of Lockout (14 break)early on as consistent potting and safety eased him to the first frame whilst The Badger (sporting matching hair and shirt) struggled to find his range. The second frame was almost in the bag for The Lockout but The Badger dug in with safety to claw his way back and then finished the frame with a barrage of barnstorming pots and outrageous flukes to win on the pink. Lockout looked out on his feet, not surprising considering he makes Terry Griffiths look like the RoadRunner with his speed of play. The Badger then destroyed Lockout in the third with another master blast of potting (14 break). It now looked over but Lockout (12 break) came back with an iron expression and less swearing to cruise through the last frame with The Badger helpless.

Another great night.
