Freeth wobbles Y with R 3rd turn
13 Jan 2019 11:26AM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Both players had chances to take the first but it was Greg who eventually did, long way to go yet though
13 Jan 2019 11:28AM (Tournament); 10 Readers
Freeth takes off to U and croquets it 5 yards SW of h2
13 Jan 2019 11:30AM (Tournament); 11 Readers
Smacks off EB with a rush pointing in the vicinity of U, Bryant will be shooting from B baulk
13 Jan 2019 11:31AM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Looking at a possible double from end of B baulk... doesn’t really have it. Shoots from corner and misses into corner 4. Looked very well hit
13 Jan 2019 11:33AM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Freeth rushes well to h1 and approaches well from 1y SW, this will be a good break to settle the nerves hopefully after game 1
13 Jan 2019 11:37AM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Freeth is through hoop 3 and will be picking up the ball in C4 momentarily
13 Jan 2019 11:41AM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Snicks a 3yard return after 5... getting good at that. Has 4 ball break
13 Jan 2019 11:47AM (Tournament); 15 Readers
leave is looking like an NSL
13 Jan 2019 12:01PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Not sure if he has the h4 ball ideally placed. Should be good enough to force a long shot?
13 Jan 2019 12:02PM (Tournament); 10 Readers
Bryant checking his target from A baulk...
13 Jan 2019 12:03PM (Tournament); 10 Readers
Apparently it’s good enough
13 Jan 2019 12:04PM (Tournament); 11 Readers
Lifts blue from near hoop 2 and will be taking shot at R and Y which are quite in lawn
13 Jan 2019 12:04PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Misses the most in lawn ball to EB between peg and 6
13 Jan 2019 12:06PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Hamish checking if K at h4 will rush to 1
13 Jan 2019 12:06PM (Tournament); 11 Readers
Apparently it does. Josh taps Y onto R and takes off to U... rushes it to near C4
13 Jan 2019 12:08PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Approaching 1 from 1 yard east
13 Jan 2019 12:10PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Lovely wee take off and makes h1
13 Jan 2019 12:11PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
No rush anywhere useful but plays a good croquet stroke loading 3 getting a rush on partner out towards hoop 2
13 Jan 2019 12:12PM (Tournament); 12 Readers
Hits the rush to no man’s land... can’t send it to 3 so just takes off to loose h2 pioneer
13 Jan 2019 12:13PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Bad rush on said pioneer gives approach from 2y east slightly south
13 Jan 2019 12:14PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Creams through hoop 2 to the line
13 Jan 2019 12:15PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Well, creams may be a bit extreme for Josh
13 Jan 2019 12:15PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Loads 4 and gets nice rush on partner towards 3... will have a chance of peel after 3
13 Jan 2019 12:16PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
“He’ll find a way to turn it into a straight double” -Hamish
13 Jan 2019 12:18PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Peeling from just under a yard with slight angle... plays it straight and hampers himself on 3!!
13 Jan 2019 12:20PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Should have swing through back of 3
13 Jan 2019 12:20PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
But that was unnecessary
13 Jan 2019 12:21PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Obviously didn’t want to play it with any pull but he’s regretting it now
13 Jan 2019 12:21PM (Tournament); 13 Readers
Looks very hampered actually
13 Jan 2019 12:21PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Fault
13 Jan 2019 12:21PM (Tournament); 17 Readers
Don’t know if fault was actually called or not but he played it with mallet nearly vertical and probably hit it 4 or 5 times
13 Jan 2019 12:23PM (Tournament); 17 Readers
Freeth did actually get the peel so clip update
R for Penult
Y for 4
U and K for 1
13 Jan 2019 12:24PM (Tournament); 16 Readers
Bryant, playing U makes h1 after rushing from h4 area well. Has all the balls ideally placed and I’d suggest he’ll be peeling R
13 Jan 2019 12:27PM (Tournament); 17 Readers
Having a go at penult peel before 3 from 2y straight
13 Jan 2019 12:30PM (Tournament); 20 Readers
His escape ball is nicely positioned for it so why not
13 Jan 2019 12:30PM (Tournament); 19 Readers
Peel is into middle of wire but rushes perfectly to h3
13 Jan 2019 12:31PM (Tournament); 18 Readers
That one pulled more than he expected... as most peels have done this week
13 Jan 2019 12:33PM (Tournament); 20 Readers
Will just be peeling after 6 now will update once he gets there
13 Jan 2019 12:33PM (Tournament); 19 Readers
Peel R by 2 yards after 6
13 Jan 2019 12:40PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
Sorry for delay, had issues with internet
13 Jan 2019 12:54PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
Bryant got rover peel before 3b
13 Jan 2019 12:55PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
Pegs josh off leaving a ball in corner 2 and a ball in corner 3
13 Jan 2019 1:03PM (Tournament); 7 Readers
Josh fails to roll to h4 from corner 3, Bryant has just made h1 after josh cornered after a bit of cat and mouse
