Bucks Mens 'a' Versus Glouc Mens 'a' Match Report!
The match started a little late as we waited for Peter to deliver the team sheets
, we missed our tem chat and overall it was a more sombre start to the day.
It was not the best of starts with only a win from Steve Appleby from the first five games, a bit more noise and support from the players started a little comeback with wins from Paul Anderson, returning captain Liam Harty, John Hardaker and Sean Gourley keeping us close at 5-6 after the first 11..
To the second 11 and with wins only coming from Terry Davidson, Dan Morgan, John Hardaker and myself meant we slipped to a 4-7 loss in this section and 9-13 down overall but the atmosphere started to change and noise levels went up as we romped to a 9-2 win in the penultimate 11... Notably another great win from John Hardaker to take his tally to 3 from 3, a great performance so far. That left us in front for the first time in the match at 18-15, needing only 5 more to edge the win.
The first 6 games were shared three a piece with wins from Terry Davidson, Steve Appleby and myself, 21-18 it was.Enter Liam Harty who played a lovely clearance and take us to 22-18 and a 3 from 4 for the joint captain. Next on was Mr Hardaker, the only player left that could get a four from four, started a bit slow then John got his chance and potted some great shots leaving a thin cut on the black to the middle bag from the bottom cushion, missing this pot would have definately lost him the frame. He kept his cool and ran it in slowly, an excellent shot from john who went on to receive a well desrved man of the match. With the win secure at 23-18 the last 3 games went to gloucester although Sean's last game should have been ours.
Anway, with a final score of 23-21, bucks 'A' chalked up their first success of the season, the first of many and congrats to Steve Appleby, Terry Davidson and Liam Harty for all winning 3/4.. Also Dan morgan, Paul Anderson, Tony Haggarty and myself for 2/4 and a massive well done to John for his 4 and man of the match..
A lot for the squad to build on, was a great day overall with the mens 'B' team also winning with the same scoreline. Well done to David and the team.
What can you say about the Bunnies ( leave it Dane) recording 2 wins in a row with a massive 36-8. Congrats Ladies and indeed to all the squads for a bucks treble, may we have many more. Finally, a big thanks to Gloucestershire for a great match played in good spirit, especially the gloucester ladies in their first season...
Up the bucks, keep it up and i'll see you all for our next game at home in Buckin March.
