Bury 10 Fylde 6

Ater what seemed a long journey, approx. 1 hour 30mins, over the moors…..we have become too reliant on the Sat Nav, we finally arrived at Whitehead park. Thankfully it was a dry day, although cold.

It started off well with Ian on Fire he beat Richard Leach 14-4 in a blistering 45 minutes in the first round and Fylde were 3-1 up, so in a good position. In round 2 things were a little tighter, and the session was drawn 2-2, so fylde were still 2 games in the lead.

The tables turned in round 3, Barry went to “golden hoop” against Ken and lost 10-9, Ian kept up his blistering form beating Phil 14-1, Philip also lost by one point. It was now 6-6 all to play for. In round 4 Barrys game against Phil went to “golden hoop” and he lost marginally 8-6 and catherine’s game against Margaret was a very close affair again going to golden hoop, with Catherine having first chance to close out the game, but Margaret managed to rescue the situation and win 10-9. All 4 games were lost in this round.

All in all it was an enjoyable day and great to be back playing.
