Westerby now on 4b an penult with the innings
03 Jan 2014 11:12AM (Tournament); 43 Readers
Westerby has gotten in and made penult, laying in C2 with Jim's Y ball on SB and 4b ball near EB.
Jim shoots and misses with the 4b ball into C2.
03 Jan 2014 11:38AM (Tournament); 35 Readers
Aaron has failed 4b off partner, with Jim's yellow on SB and red 6yd south of C2.
Aaron's ball cannot easily run 4b but can see partner which is north of the hoop.

Jim misses partner into C2 and Aaron has established a good break for his 4b ball, running 4b but not having enough room to get partner to rover for a peel. Partner is 1y NE of the peg, approaching penult off Jim's ball. Jim's yellow is still in C2.

Aaron has misapproached penult with blue, and has played off to 7yd north of C1. Jim has a 2ydr pointing south at the peg, with very little opportunity of a break. I think well see a leave here.

Still G1, players appear to have gone for lunch. Aaron penult (B) an rover (k) vs 5 (y) an 4 (b). R an Y have the innings

Westerby takes the first and G2 is underway. The balls have been switched I think as apparently black had expanded and was not do different to the others.
Westerby playing R an Y an has the innings. All clips still on h1
