The Hurricane Blows Away Mr Angry

A crowd of one witnessed this match of two hours and fifteen minutes. The Hurricane was too strong and won 4-0. The first frame was slow with neither player finding a rhythym. It was summed up when Mr Angry did 'A Badger' - he played the green when he should have gone for the yellow when the game got to the colours. Mr Angry hung on grimly but suffered a devastating blow when The Hurricane performed another 'Badger' - a fluked doubled black to take the frame . 1-0.  The second frame saw the lowest scoring possible , as both players refused to pot two balls consecutively, as a sign of respect for Terry Griffiths. The frame dribbled on until The Hurricane, playing slightly better, won on the blue. 2-0. Only 49 points in total were scored in the frame. The third fame was almost another replica with The Hurricane just outscoring Mr Angry up to the colours and being 19 ahead with just 18 left on the table. But Mr Angry, knowing Lockout was paying him a £1 to get at least a point, would not give in. He got the snooker required but The Hurricane sunk a great pink to clinch the match 3-0. The last frame was an exhibition by The Hurricane of how to destroy your opponent. 4-0. A great result for The Jackal.

The Hurricane - Lockout don't go out in the dark, I am right behind you.

M Angry - If I lose to The Jackal on Monday I will chop off my bridge hand and never play snooker again.




Lockout Stuffs The Badger

After a long Easter break both players looked rusty. The match of two and a half hours (including dinner) in front of a crowd of one saw Lockout emerge 3-1 victor. The first frame was slow but whereas Lockout offered a little , The Badger offered nothing. Despite a few Badger specials near the end Lockout easily moved to 1-0.  At this point the players went for dinner. Sausage, eggs, beans and chips. The Badger showed great speed here and cleared the table in 3 minutes ! The second frame was as the first with The Badger still in hibernation. Lockout moved through the gears to leave The Badger in his wake and it was 2-0. It looked over and in the third frame Lockout went into the colours in a great position. But finally The Badger stirred and potted the last 5 balls in 2 visits , winning with a doubled black. At this point Lockout went for a long, long toilet break. Whatever he did in there, it worked. He demolished The Badger in the final frame. Badger's only accurate shot was to knock his cup of tea clean off the side table with the extended spider. Onwards for Lockout, Backwards for The Badger.

The Hurricane is Brewing

In a hastily arranged practice match against the Local Boy , The Hurricane went shot for shot against his practice partner and claimed a 3-3 draw. Both players potted well with The Hurricane showing confidence with several 4 and 5 ball breaks. Local Boy said ' I scored a 40 and 22 in one frame but it wasn't enough. Since his rehab The Hurricane looks more focussed and can pot with the best of them. He is obviously the clear favourite for the title'.
