With the lawns super fast a touch on a ball could send it three to four feet. Backward hoop approaches suffered. All six players found it difficult to keep breaks going but breaks there were from everyone. Perhaps the match turned on Martin's time turn lift shot where he hit a ball at the peg in the direction of his hoop (three). Then the difficult decision to play for the hoop paid off and he went to peg leaving three balls which Peter could not capitalise on. We fought like lions.

Thanks to Bowdon for a wonderful day.

This match saw the first triple peel on FCC's lawns. Playing in round one on the far lawn Lee completed his game against Abdul with a standard triple. David and Liz had a most interesting game that was decided by one point on the time turn. Fylde then won all the second round matches securing the win, but could a bonus point be scored? Alas no, as Liz playing a brilliant three ball catch up break had the miss-fortune to find three back in the way of her pioneer there, which brought her turn and the game to an end.

It was a perfect day, with sunshine and other members there to support the team. The lawns were as good as they get having been cut in good time for the match.

The machine gets sharpened up in the workshop with a well earned mug of engine oil.
