My First Billiards Match

On Thursday 3rd February 2010 i played my first ever competitive Billiards match. The venue was Park Bridge Institute which is situated off Oldham Road which is in between Ashton-under-Lyne & Oldham. A nice venue with a real coal fire burning in the Snooker room which created a different atmosphere. For some unknown reason with me being new to this cuesport , i found myself giving a 70pt start. I think it must of been something to do with me being a decent Snooker player. I really enjoyed my experience playing my first Billiard match and im also enjoying mixing playing this game with my Snooker. It's a pity my mentor Peter Stanyer wasn't there to witness my first ever match. He had to shoot off to another match somewhere shortly after we arrived. I dont know how he fits it all in. He would of been proud of me on my debut match. We play our first Pairs match of the season this coming Thursday for another tilt at the title.

Carling Cup Result : Man.Utd 3-1 Man.City (Agg.4-3)

Sadly , we were beaten by our arch enemies Manchester United 3-1 on the night , so we lost 4-3 on aggregate. Im very dissapointed we lost at this stage as i was expecting us to progress to the final after our first leg performance. I've received some sarky & indeed abusive text messages off some of my Man.Utd friends tonight , cheers for that lads. We will have our vengance soon...

Carling Cup 1st Leg Result: Man.City 2-1 Man.Utd

After falling behind to a goal from one of Man.Utd's many ageing players , Ryan Giggs ( Sports Personality of the Year 2009) what a joke !!!

After there temporary lead , it was time to bring on the "Carlos Tevez Show" .

Once again it was our best signing for many a year that turned the tie in our favour with another two goals to add to his magnificent haul already this season. I think thats 17 goals upto now in just as many games. OUTSTANDING ! What a magnificent player Tevez is. My son is over the Blue Moon too as Tevez is Brandon's favourite player!

Lets make it a double over them in the second leg next Wednesday , then roll on Wembley. Villa or Blackburn in the final , should be a piece of cake...
