Don’t forget that next weekend is our Workparty weekend! If you have an hour to spare please do drop in some time between 11 and 3, Saturday or Sunday - our work parties have been responsible for keeping the grounds looking ship shape the last couple of years. We’d like to thank everyone who has contributed so far, and look forward to meeting up and getting stuck in, next week!

From the snooker Correspondent
Week 4 match report

This week saw RSC take on Darlaston Cons at home. The opponents were unbeaten this season so the team knew they were going to be a tough challenge.

Matt had a tough game against a tricky opponent. The game featured some tough safety play and excellent potting. In the finale of the match Matt sunk a superb long blue leaving a tough forced pink across a cushion to go up the table for the black. The pink unfortunately rattled in the jaw leaving his opponent to win the frame by just 8 points.

Ian played a very proficient potter who had a very favourable run of the balls. He fell behind and despite his valiant effort to peg back the required snookers he was not able to do so.

0-2

Our wonderful sub Shane was playing someone with a 100% record this season. His opponent scored well and controlled the game and despite some smart play, shame was on the wrong end this week.

0-3

At the same time Mike was in an intense and unusually long battle against a very tough player. Our RSC man managed to build an early 25 lead but his opponent hit back hard after some good run of the balls. Getting into the colours Mike had a narrow lead but unfortunately missed a brown which would have left his opponent needing snookers. The opposition player took advantage leaving just two balls on the table. A long safety battle commenced with neither player taking too many risks. Eventually Mike potted a super pink and then missed a black. His irritation showed. Both players had a number of attempts at the black before the final mistake leaving Mike an easy chance into the middle.

1-3

Finally it was left to Captain Jason to prove again his consistency in what has been an excellent season so far. The match lacked real fluency and our leader was frustrated with missed chances. Occasionally he was heard to mutter “oh dear” and the like under his breath. This game became tense with all eyes watching the battle under the skillful referring of Matt.
When the chance arrived Jason took blue to black and a winner score of 49-37.

Final score 2-3.

Analysis.
None of the team felt they played their best and felt frustrated that they had the chance to win overall. However they came back from behind again and snatched valuable points leaving them in a good league position. Jason is 4/4 so far this season.

Next games
Mike and Jason play a doubles match at home on Monday 28th so the match room is in use from 7pm.
On Thursday the team travel away to Pelsall Social A.

From the snooker Correspondent
Week 3 report

This week the team took the long journey to Kingswinford to play the top team in the league at that stage, Kingswinford Club.

Without regular Matt we had a new face playing in Shane. The first few shots showed what a good cue man he is with solid safety and a couple of lovely pots. Then something rather unusual happened. His opponent Joe Hawks made as fluent a 54 break as I've ever seen. Without a missed positional shot the break could have been higher. Such an excellent break is rare in this league. It felt like he usually plays in a much higher league but our captain was assured this was not the case. Shane showed his composure and picked up points at the end of the frame.

On the other table Luke produced a solid performance to beat his opponent. He was disappointed that the score margin was not higher.
1-1

Mike played his opponent and for 75% of the game he dominated, despite his opponents obvious ability. He was the first to admit the last few shots were poor with a missed pot to win and poor safety shot on the brown. The game was left to the black and his opponent made no mistake. 49-48 loss. I suggest that this game is not mentioned if you chat to him at the bar🍻

Ian returned to winning ways as I predicted last week. His opponent was safety minded with a ‘steady’ pace which might have put off a less experienced player. A comfortable 58-33 win for Ian
2-2

Jason again was left to take the team over the line. He played fluently against a good opponent. The captain dominated the scoring and as usual his safety and tactical game was rock solid. A comfortable win for Jason.
3-2 win for RSC

So RSC have won three out of three in this challenging league. In the early stages of a season the league positions are fairly irrelevant but I've attached the table regardless. It is pleasing to see that this fine team have adapted to the standard of this higher league so quickly.

This week
This coming week sees two games, both at home.
On Monday the team take on Forty Four Club B in round 1 of the Challenge Cup.
In a slight change to the schedule the league match with Darlaston Cons is now on Thursday.
The big match room will not be available from about 18:30 each of these evenings but the other two tables will still be available. There will be bar service on both evenings but please be patient as Mike will be playing, occasionally refereeing and also managing the bar.

From the Snooker Correspondent
Week 2 report

This week the team played their first home game against Dudley Ex Service.

The match tables had been expertly prepared by Mike, Jason and Luke, with all balls carefully polished.

Matt and Ian got the leg underway.
Ian played an uncharacteristic loose game, with a few lapses in potting and safety. I can honestly say he also had a terrible run of the balls with his opponent getting away with misses so many times it became amusing. These things happen and like the fine player he is, Ian will bounce back.
Matt played a strong opponent. The game had long bouts of quality safety play and some excellent potting. Unfortunately it was decided by just a few missed balls and on this occasion Matt came out on the wrong side of the result.

0-2 down

Mike and Luke were up next with Mike determined to put right his defeat the previous week.
He played an experienced player whose style was more safety than attack. This suited the RSC man who potted effectively and generally kept the game tight with typical tough match snooker. A comfortable 67-15 win.
Luke on the other table was imperious as he totally dominated all aspects of the game. Total control and a win of 67-2.

2-2

As per the previous week Jason took on the final game decider.
The game was a good one to watch with Jason being effective in the balls and playing some of his typical cunning safety shots. He took control of the match and there really was only going to be one winner 67-28

Result 3-2 winners

RST are settling into the new season and showing what the word ‘team’ means with all players supporting one another. It is great that again they didn't panic and came back from two down again.

They have a busy few weeks ahead with them taking on;
Kingswinford away on the 17th
Forty Four club C at home on the 21st in the challenge cup
Then another home league game on the 23rd against Darlaston Cons

Jason is taking on a tough opponent in the Secretary Cup on the 14th.

Get in touch with Mike at the bar or email the club to become involved.
Best of luck to the team

Week 1 match report

The new season started during the first week of September with the team now promoted to division 4.
Captain Jason has modest ambitions for the new season. He told me that he wants the team to enjoy themselves and secure their place in this tougher league.

The first game was away at the Goodyear Pavilion in Wolverhampton.
Mike and Ian immediately saw the difference in quality of players as both lost to some high class play. Mike was unfortunate in being set in an almost impossible snooker trap where the miss rule really counted against him. Ian performed well but only one tactical error left his opponent the chance to steal the frame. This left our men 0-2 down.

Matt and Luke both took centre stage with each producing tough match snooker. Luke taught a tense first half of his frame before setting his opponent a vile snooker. After which he really took control and won the frame 88-51.

Matt was in imperious form demonstrating his silky smooth cue action and good control in the balls. He won his frame 61-14.

2-2

Finally Jason took on his opponent in his own typical fashion with tough safety play and impressive long potting. He produced a crushing 60-14 win

It says something about this team that from behind they do not panic and never attribute blame.

Winners 3-2
What a fantastic start to the season! 🍻

🏆Opportunity to club members🏆

The team are looking for a few players that can occasionally fill in as reserves during home (usually Wednesday) and away matches (usually Thursday) throughout the season. Sometimes we know weeks in advance that we are short a player but on other occasions it might be relatively last minute due to illness. An indication of standard is the ability to make a 20 break.
If you are interested then please make yourself known to us through the club email or speak to Mike at the bar on a Tuesday or when you see him in the club. Some members of the team generally practice on a Tuesday evening in the club if you want to drop in.
Thanks
