In the last 16 Samir Patel is on a break to 4b (giving contact) playing with Jeff Dawson against Reg Bamford and Ben Rothman, both Reg and Ben on 3b after a failed sextuple from Reg. Jeff still on 1. Reg and Ben game up. On lawn 6.

On lawn 10 Doug Grimsley and Brian Cumming have just started the third against Sarah Burrow and Dave Foulser. Scrappy start no one has picked up a break yet.

On lawn 3 the pairs of Mark Avery and David Openshaw, and Peter Trimmer and Nick Mounfield look we'll matched.
06 Jul 2014 1:01PM (Tournament); 1 Readers
Openshaw has a chance of a straight double versus 2b and peg and wouldn't be surprised to the clips rover and box v 2b and box at the end of the turn.

This is a quarter final still in game 1.

In the other quarter final going on lawn 11, David Maugham and Paddy Chapman have taken the first against Lionel Tibble and Luc Berthouze. Luc failed 1 with Lionel already on 4b and Paddy and Dave yet to start. Dave had one peel of a TPO and broke down but they got away with this and won after Paddy had completed the DP ( NZTPO).

Openshaw has as predicted only had one peel but he has got Mark's ball nicely in the front of rover before pegging two off.

Lawn 6. Reg is going to peg, Dawson and Patel having missed a 25 yarder

Lawn 3 Peter for 2b has missed the ball in rover from A-baulk to just N of penult allowing Mark to run rover and find a massive wired area next to the peg. Peter misses 2b and concedes.

Back to lawn 6 and Reg is making a lift leave. Ben is for 3b, Reg will be on peg, Samir on 4b, Jeff on 1.

Looks like a spread with Samir's ball at the peg.

Fulford and Death are waiting for the match on lawn 10. Death had a nice sextuple this morning.
06 Jul 2014 1:31PM (Tournament); 1 Readers
On lawn 6 Jeff has missed some kind of target from where he was and Ben should take the match from here.
06 Jul 2014 1:33PM (Tournament); 1 Readers
Sennds Jeffs ball to 4b leaving longish rush to 4b and ends up having to make 3b from 2 yards straight, but runs easily.

Raining fairly heavily a minute ago but it is just a brief shower.

I've only played on lawn 11 which was a bit slower then usual. The hoops were well set and putting up reasonable resistance particularly when compared with last year's opens.
06 Jul 2014 1:41PM (Tournament); 1 Readers
Sarah and Luc are both in play now.
