Newport Open Weekend

NOW22 Final by Andrew Gregory

Mark Avery v David Maugham
Single game, SuperAdvanced.

29 May 2022 1:14PM (Tournament); 9 Readers

Maugham made the first hoop, but Avery has had the first break.
Maugham is now on a TPO.

29 May 2022 1:16PM (Tournament); 9 Readers

Maugham has done all 3 peels of his TPO.

Thanks to Alison for loan of laptop. Easier than my phone!

Apparently I've landed Mark in it for telling you it's superAdvanced.
The Manager wanted a best-of-3 Normal final, but Mark's wrist hurts.
So single game SuperAdvanced was the agreed compromise.

29 May 2022 1:26PM (Tournament); 11 Readers

The TPO is complete.
Maugham: Red peg, Yellow 1.
Avery: Blue 1, Black box.

29 May 2022 1:29PM (Tournament); 11 Readers

Maugham leaves Yellow on East bdry, level-ish with hoop 4. Red goes to 2nd corner.

29 May 2022 1:31PM (Tournament); 15 Readers

Avery Blue wanders over to Red to have a look.
Now he's by Yellow. Rolling up to 1. Good shot! 5' hoop...

29 May 2022 1:34PM (Tournament); 12 Readers

...rejected!

29 May 2022 1:34PM (Tournament); 12 Readers

Maugham Yellow shooting at Red (20 yards)...

29 May 2022 1:35PM (Tournament); 13 Readers

...hits!

29 May 2022 1:35PM (Tournament); 14 Readers

Maugham Yellow plays big pass-roll out of 2nd corner. Red misses hoop 2, ends up 3y N of peg. Yellow is nicely on Blue.

29 May 2022 1:37PM (Tournament); 15 Readers

Yellow is thru 1 but no rush. One good croquet stroke here and it's almost all over.

29 May 2022 1:38PM (Tournament); 13 Readers

Maugham has established a 3-ball break.

29 May 2022 1:39PM (Tournament); 12 Readers

Just 7 players here this weekend, so it's an all-play-all block. Maugham and Avery are both on 5/5, with 5 TPs each!

29 May 2022 1:40PM (Tournament); 11 Readers

Avery has won the last four Newport Opens, but he needs to find a stopping bisque pretty soon.

Maugham has reached hoop 6 on his potentially winning turn.

29 May 2022 1:45PM (Tournament); 12 Readers

Slight falter at 1-back means Maugham has to pull out another big croquet stroke. Which he does.

29 May 2022 1:47PM (Tournament); 11 Readers

Maugham did ever so well at the start of the TPO, doing the first peel after 3 even though Avery had cornered on the previous turn.

29 May 2022 1:50PM (Tournament); 12 Readers

Maugham is 4 yards from his rover pioneer. Copes.

29 May 2022 1:52PM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Three-yard peg-out...

29 May 2022 1:54PM (Tournament); 10 Readers

David Maugham wins the Donald Cornelius trophy.

29 May 2022 1:54PM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Please consider Newport for next year. It'll be the weekend before the Counties as usual. The fiddling with the Bank Holidays this year has led to a few regulars away at Bowdon or Nottingham, but we should be near full strength next year.
Still, having only 7 players has meant no double-banking!

29 May 2022 1:58PM (Tournament); 10 Readers

That's all folks.
See you at the Counties.
Cheers, Andrew
