Intermediate Hcp: Mike Langdon 3-0 Wayne Smith

[Mike Langdon]

Pre match I spent 5 minutes telling Wayne how poor I've been playing of late. I break off, Wayne misses red and I knock in a well constructed 41 break!!!

2nd frame is very close. Wayne leaves me a long straightish pink for the frame...the pink rattles and drops the cue ball follows and rattles and stays up which kind of summed up my night, everything ran my way.

I played pretty solid stuff in the final frame building up a 40 odd point lead. Wayne knocked in a 17 break to get back into it but just wasn't on his game tonight and couldn't get going.

so into the final I go :-) Hopefully I can go one better than my runners up a few years back!

Hard lines Wayne...thanks for the match

Nice one Mike! A final at last, and a chance, with your luck, and flukes, to win it.

Well done!

Nice to see a committee member in a final. Just deserts for a hard working league secretary. Only wish i could have done better in my time. Still onwards and upwards. My team down here are in the quarter finals of the cup, and with a good handicap could get through. Here's hoping.
