Its going to be a defensive spread rather than the 3 ducks
09 Jan 2014 9:33AM (Tournament); 35 Readers

Rover ball is in c2, H1 ball on the WB level with 5, Y (h4) peg high one yard off the EB an peg ball a yard s of rover ball. Think he wanted that a bit closer

Robert hit with yellow and took his H4 ball to 4b with an attempted NSL, which turned into a fairly standard OSL.
09 Jan 2014 1:39PM (Tournament); 64 Readers
Chris took his shooting gallery from B Baulk and hit Robert's ball in C4. Took a direct rush to rover from C4, which ended up 3yd directly East of the hoop.
Approached to 1-foot at 40deg and failed the hoop, bouncing back slightly, open on Robert's H1 ball.
09 Jan 2014 1:40PM (Tournament); 66 Readers
Robert managed to get a rush to H1, which he failed off partner. Chris' peg ball is near C4, and Chris took the shot with the rover ball which was sitting at H2.
He hit this and rushed to rover. Again got angled position, but with a reception ball and a deep ball, he powered it through so hard that it hit the reception ball halfway up and jumped high in the air.
Chris now pegging out to take a fantastic win.
