WESTMORLAND 8 FYLDE 8

Fylde: Ian Theakstone (c) 3.5, Nathan Baker 5, Philip Bass 8, Geoffrey Lipshaw 10.
Westmorland: Elain Newman 6, Mike Hayward 4, Dave Edwards 8, Mike Hodgson 8.

A glorious day to be at Levens Hall with many visitors taken pictures of us playing a very English game. Fylde started off with wins by Ian against Dave by 14 - 5 and Nathan in a tight game with Mike narrowly winning 8 - 7. Philip losing to Elaine 3 - 13 and Geoffrey to Mike H 2 - 13.

The next round was only a win from Nathan against Dave 14 - 4. Losses by Ian to Mike H 7 - 9 Philip to Mike 4 - 14 and Geoffrey to Elaine 7 - 9.

After a grand lunch in their cafe we continued our 3rd round,this proved not to be our best as only a win from Ian against Mike H 14 - 8 was made. Geoffrey losing to Dave 7 - 14 Philip against Mike 6 - 14 and Nathan to Elaine 8 - 10. This made the score 8 - 4 to Westmorland with just the last 4 games to play, Ian beat Elaine 14 - 11. Nathan beat Mike H 14 - 0 and Philip playing an excellent tight game against Dave to win 11 - 10. So it was down Geoffrey to level the score,after a long neck and neck game it came down to final few shots, time had gone with Geoffrey now playing at 9 all, the next hoop was crucial but after lining up and with an audience of Fylde players wishing and fingers crossed,he made it and then proceded to make the next hoop not touching the sides. He then came off and it was Mikes final turn with baited breath we stood and watched as he missed his shot. Yes !!!!! So Geoffrey won his game all 4 to Fylde.

Southport 10 Fylde 6

Southport: Carol Lewis (1), (c), Melanie Foster (3), Margaret Flemington (10), Fran Maher (10)
Fylde: Ian Theakstone (3.5), Philip Bass (8), Nathan Baker (9), Catherine Bass (10) (c)

Both Philip and Nathan had triggered lower handicaps following their success at Home against Chester the previous week. Nathan managed three wins, including an impressive peel of his Blue ball at Hoop 6 in Round 1 before pegging out. Ian narrowly missed out to Margaret 13-12 in Round 1 and had the only win in Round 2. Philip and Catherine held their nerve to win one game each at Golden Hoop against Fran. In his final game, Philip miscounted the score and, thinking he was one ahead on time, split up the balls. It was actually level. Melanie won at Golden Hoop. Round 1: Philip bt Fran 4-5. Nathan bt Carol 0-14. Margaret bt Ian 13-12. Melanie bt Catherine 14-6.
Round 2: Melanie bt Nathan 14-7. Carol bt Catherine 10-7. Ian bt Fran 10-12. Margaret bt Philip 14-3.
Round 3: Nathan bt Fran 6-13. Margaret bt Catherine 7-5. Carol bt Philip 10-5. Melanie bt Ian 14-8.
Round 4: Carol bt Ian 14-8. Melanie bt Philip 9-8. Nathan bt Margaret 5-14. Catherine bt Fran 6-7.

Phillip has the lawns to himself.
