Block F Anna Miller is in game 3 against Paz Gonzalez de Aguilar. Anna 3-5 down
05 Feb 2019 5:53PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
But she was in the jaws of hoop 9, so should equalise
05 Feb 2019 5:53PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Block D Bernie was nonplussed about the qualification format, so is taking matters into her own hands in the 3-for-2 clash and had a 2-0 lead, but was in the jaws of hoop 3 - ran it nicely down to in front of hoop 4, so should be 4-0 by now...
05 Feb 2019 5:54PM (Tournament); 15 Readers
yup- Bernie leads 4-0. Winning puts her through.

05 Feb 2019 5:57PM (Tournament); 14 Readers
Paz has had a pretty gentle go at hoop 10 - the Atkins Quadway hoops decline. She should have a chance to try to knock it through hoop 10 if red is in front.

Why can't they get the lawns right??? - Virginia is back on lawn 5 playing her critical match against Sonya

Apparently the players agreed, however it's poor form in a World Championship when they have just the one game to play.
