Castel-Nuovo gave Smith very little chance in this frame and was constantly making double figure breaks in taking the frame comfortably.

R Kirk 34 v Zeb Ahmed 66
Ahmed producing his normal brand of fireworks based snooker in this convincing win. Kirk getting very little opportunity amongst the balls but firing in some great pots during the frame.

Chris Willett/John Bakewell 30 v Wayne Martin/Danny Castel-Nuovo 73
Martin and Nuovo having a little too much experience for the city hospital lads in this one-sided frame.
Some fantastic potting by Bakewell towards the end with a terrific Brown and Blue that showed the potential quality of these players.

Good win Wayne! Looks like you sailed to victory!!! I tell you what mate, those Oakleigh Lodge lads were tough yesterday! Not a bad side if I had to be honest to be getting the max start! Jason Bettridge winning against a 30+ break at home! They will feel robbed not winning yesterday with that start and with that team!!!

[Rob Wallace]

Thanks for that report Wayne it was certainly a tough match but a few of our lads said they enjoyed playing against some 1st div opposition even in defeat.

Steve - all those scores are correct according to my sheet.

Cheers
Rob.

Thanks Rob.  I'm glad your team enjoyed playing top class players for a change.  It's a sure-fire way to improve you know!  :thumbup:

509 is not a bad score either.  Now that you've got Pegasus out of the way, if you can score around 600 in your next two matches, I reckon you could make the semis of either the KO Cup or Plate for sure.

Just tell your team to score as many points as they can....
