WEEK 12 - Tuesday, 04/05/10

And so we found ourselves at the Lucky facing off with the Number 1 team in the zone.

The new tables at the Lucky seemed different but ok. It was the white ball that seemed to be the problem. And any problem for anyone was a bigger problem for us than for them, given the difference in skill levels.

In any case the Number 1 side gave the Cobras a 62.5 point start at the top, with the Cobras retaining the 7.5 down the bottom thanks to Hooters.

In the first round they set the tone for the match. No point talking about bad luck or missed opportunities. Suffice to say that we all lost between 5 and 0 and the margin was cut to 31.

In the 2nd Pick won his game and CB narrowly lost his, but convincing wins in the other 3 games meant the margin was only 5 after 2 rounds.

The 3rd was more one way traffic, with CB's black ball loss the best for the Cobras and the Breaks ended the 3rd round 21 points in front.

Diddy won his 4th round game and Pick narrowly lost on the black, but this still left the Cobras trailing by 36 as they headed into the 5th and final round.

The Breaks kept the foot on the throat as they surged for that critical 50 point win and got there with straight wins in the 5th, with 53 the final margin.

And so the Cobras suffered our 3rd loss as a team, taking us to 75% win/loss record with the 2nd placed Commandos still to come at home next week.

Lucky Breaks 241 - Eastern Creek Cobras 188.
