A good performance from all saw the seconds cruise to a much needed 18-5 victory against Abercorn. Will was on the rack against tough opposition from Bruce Russell. Bruce's deception had Will running like never before, and he easily took the first game, and then the second. Will dug deep in the third, to take it 9-7. The running had obviously taken its toll as Will finally succumbed in the fourth. 2-9, 5-9, 9-7, 2-9.
Mike put in a fine display against Ian Ross, and didn't give him a lookin. 9-2, 9-4, 9-3. Robert was on such good fighting form that his opponent was too scared to even show up. W/O
Alan was initially on the ropes against Steve Whitby, an unorthodox player who grabbed every chance to volley. Two games down, Alan stuck with it, competing fiercely to take the third and fourth. We were all set for a tense and nailbiting finish, but Steve caved in - Alan'scompetitive approach scored a decisive mental victory. 3-9, 5-9, 9-5,9-7, 9-0
Tony made a long-awaited return to the team after injury. There were glimpses of the old magic (beware mini-league 1) as he easily took thefirst two games from Bernard Starkey. A wobble in the third gave Bernard two game points at 9-9, but Tony kept with it to close out. 9-6, 9-2,10-9

So that's where Bruce Russell is playing these days.
It looks as if Abercorn have had 2 of their points taken away for their numbers 4 and 5 playing out of order.
Division 3 is shaping up to be a real close run thing. Plenty to play for between the three teams looking to finish 3rd and still nothing between a couple of the teams looking to avoid coming 3rd bottom.
Yes, B Russell (Sprout, as he is known in cricket circles) has fetched up at Abercorn mid-season. He lives near there now and I'm sure if he'd joined there earlier, they would be higher up the tables.
Yeah, we expected them to lose 2 points for their no. 3 thinking the match was on Wed and them realising it too late. Ironic to think #4 Stokesy went to the pin of his collar to win in five, only for the league seccy to say "you needn't have bothered, I'm awarding you the match 3-0" ;-)
Grange 2 are gunning for Mamma's - when is everyone away skiing? Sports club 4 are also in our sights.
Next season Rob should play Bruce in a Prefab Sprout comeback tour.
Pretty obvious and fair that the 2 points in match 4 would be forfeited.
Good banter, Prefab Sprout, I like it.
