MIB vs FR review...

First up, Petey for FR followed by the always starter in Sid for MIB. Sid starts off right away with the usual run from break, he slows up on the 5ball and fails on the resulting shot. Petey is left with a clear table run but he wonders where to start :-?. Eventually Petey picks his red and slides it above the 6ball top middle. Soon after Petey hits 14-12 combo and clogs his run up. Instead of trying a bang Petey chooses to snook under the clogged green. Sid attempts to stick Petey with no shot in return but in his valiant effort he fails. Petey is left with a challenging cut he fails as well, partly to some yahoonigans. With yet another easy table to finish Sid breezes through 3 balls and leaves himself with a window to make his last. He attempts but over cuts in top middle. Petey then takes his turn and ruins yet ANOTHER run, attempts to snook and fails. Sid finally makes his last ball in top middle and closes 8 in bottom middle. 1-0 MIB after a disastrous game by both players.


2nd match, FR calls Ashie and Pommy calls Joey. Ashie busts up table with break, He tries to run but can not finish. Joey snooks and Ashie Nails a beautiful bank combo, after that he sinks the cue on the following shot leaving a open table which is easily finished by Joey. 2-0 MIB, this is starting to look like a shellacking ladies and gentlemen.


3rd match, FR calls Dwayne followed by a MIB SI-machine call. Si with the break, is a scary site for FR. Si doesn't drop anything on his break and Dwayne snooks. This is Si though people, he starts off a impossible looking run. Cleaning the table one ball at a time tell a collapse on orange leave. Dwayne takes the open table and runs with it for a short time. Drops half his balls before leaving himself with only a snook option. With the horrid leave by Dwayne Si tries to snook back but falls a sliver short and gives up the dreaded BIH. Dwayne finally finishes it out taking down the Champ of Champs. 2-1 MIB, lookie lookie, FR aren't officially dugout of the ditch but things are looking brighter. This match could easily be 3-0 MIB or 3-0 FR plenty of failed chances by both parties.


4th match, FR calls Hope and in turn MIB calls Brandon. Hope uses her break to tap it up (after a RR issue on a early 8 break). Tapfest is the result tell Hope sees a window she can fit through but fails shot resulting in a similar fail by Brandon. Hope means business after her near miss and slowly but surely clears table. 2-2 DRAW, wow, I surely didn't predict this but what a way to start the season!


5th match, FR calls Ebs and MIB calls Matt. Snookfest, a repeat on this game or is it...? Ebs snooks and Matt has none of it. Matt opens table and runs shortly after his breakout. Matt clears table with what looks like ease. 3-2 MIB, and the soon-to-be champs step back up to the plate and crack a home run.


6th match, Tim is called for FR and Mike is called for MIB. Mike smashes break and fails to pot a ball. Tim tries to run her down and trips up. After a failed run on an open table by Mike he decides to play it safe and snook. Once Tim gives him a chance to runout table again he does. FINAL 4-2 MIB


This was a lot closer than I had foreseen. FR will be a challenge this season if they can show with the team they showed with tonight. Good Luck all in your matches this week. MIB, you squeaked by this time.
