The A Team finish their Season with a 0-3 loss in the Final of the Jim Taylor Cup v Oracle at Fawley. Phil is drawn to open & faces Ben Rowland & Ben opens with a useful 30 break, but Phil plays tactics to ease himself back in & has a dilemma over whether to double the last red (on the cushion), but elects to play safe. Ben also knocked in another break, 28 & runs out winner, 30-69. Phil misses out on the Golden 1,000 by just 9 agonising points. Next up is Tom who plays Frankie Merola & neither can make the break away. In a bizarre turn of events, Tom lays a snooker which Frankie fails to escape from several times & subsequent 'miss' replacements end up giving Tom a free-ball. Tom nominates the straight brown & playing deep screw, chips the cue ball over it & into the pocket. Ref calls 'Foul, 4 & a miss' & the cue ball is replaced (he missed the ball 'on') for Frankie who is snookered (by what was his own failed attempt to get out of a snooker!). He also nominates Brown as free ball, pots it & goes on to win, 39-58. Nigel faces Ollie Hoeblyn in the 3rd frame & makes a good fight of it at the start, being virtually level on points. He drifts a red towards the middle, but sadly it grazes the jaw & sits invitingly for Ollie to take, eventually running out winner, 25-73 for the Cup winning frame. Unlucky A's, guess we'll have to console ourselves with the Premier League & John Evans Cup Double... but still seeking that elusive treble - maybe next year!

A Team win the John Evans Cup 3-2 v Oracle at RAF Benson! Cuz is drawn to open v Pom Merola & after a scrappy start, knocks in a timely 23 break. Pom comes back & looks set for an almost impossible clearance of the colours, only to over-cut the black, which Cuz drops in for a 59-53 win. Tom faces Ollie Hoeblyn & starts well, potting crisply (& getting the 7 points he needed for the 'Golden 1,000!). Ollie comes back at him & then lays a tricky snooker which turned the frame in his favour. Tom fights valiantly for a snooker on the last red, but Ollie pots it & wins, 53-91. Captain faces Ben Rowland & misses a couple of chances before Ben slots in a lovely 46 break. Captain takes 2 of the last 3 reds with colours before trying for a snooker when Ben turns on the exhibition shots for a 27-81 win to put Oracle 1-2 up. Dave plays Stu Fenwick & its a long tactical frame as the yellow ends up over the corner pocket surrounded by reds. He turns down several offers of a re-rack & toughs it out, ventually potting a lovely long blue in the green bag & holds for pink off the spot, (using ALL the pocket!) to secure the win, 59-44 to level the match & take it to a decider. Phil is the Anchor-man & knocks in an early 28 break v Frankie Merola, who fights back until Phil knocks in another break, a timely 25 to gap his opponent & then lays a snooker. After 2 failed attempts, Frankie concedes as Phil wins 79-28 to secure the Cup, following on nicely from his Premiership Title winning League frame. Well done A Team, at the Double! More of the same next week in the Jim Taylor Final at Fawley please. Same opponents!
