Too short notice to find a replacement. And I'm going away this weekend.
Rekoons might need to wait until next week for my scores. Apologies everyone.


I was also due to play yesterday, but got canceled as well.

Hopefully next week...

Turned up to play local big hitter yesterday, barman tipped me off how seriously he takes the game,he walks in and announces I've got to play with his balls.I said OK if you let me win,not a flicker of emotion nothing. Then he says,he needs 15 minutes to do his warm up.I said, we not playing for money, just a 3 frame scratch match.This guy made Davis in his prime seem like a hyperactive Ken Dodd.After a silent 5 minutes decide to tell him where to stick his cue,much to the amusement of bar staff.Hopefully playing barman Sunday

I think the score you got from Running Side is for match one. He hasn't given me the scores for his match with Juddernaut88

Wow, ok! Apologies Judders. I've edited out the results.

I think Running Side is playing today, so we should get his scores later this evening.

Yeah, my bad. I got caught between saying AcesInc vs Running Side and AcesInc Match 2 and came out with the worst of both worlds :emb:

Re: Snooker Island Grand Prix

Postby Running side

Just got in,sent scores to Chengdu, played OK ,barman unknown ability very steady player apart from not saying he forgot he was working the bar while playing. Made for a few interesting delays, never happened at crucible, 2 cheese burgers and 2 pints of Carling on 16 break,but still enjoyable.

I lost 3-2 I played okay. The last frame I neeeded a snooker with pink and black remaining. I managed to get it via a fluke and forced a black ball game. I missed the black ball completed. I'm gutted to lose in that manner after doing the hardwork.

Can I wait until next Sunday to play my next game? Much as I enjoyed playing barman twas a bit difficult to get into a rhythm with him doing bar duties every frame, my frame 2 potted 2 red blacks and fellow at bar shouting, if you don't come and serve me I'm phoning your boss.15 minutes later he was back all apologies, not his fault obviously doing me a favour, back to the table on a straight forward red with chance of a nice break, absolutely butchered red ,went in and ended up snookering myself on all colours,same felt good in the balls but still enjoyed the game, got someone who's available on Sunday if that's still in time schedule.

Er. Does anyone know a fella called Robbie O´Socksecset? I have heard he lives in London, and is one of titles challengers during the upcoming/on-going season.

Robbie O´Socksecset.

No reason why.

Can we arrange a match, I think it would be appropriate to dress up as pantomime dames, fancy it.
