Fletcher hampered after h3.. looks pretty trivial though

07 Jan 2014 9:44AM (Tournament); 56 Readers

One peel done, had a tough shot at H5 but no problems. I've just been informed however that he has stuck in H6

07 Jan 2014 10:02AM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Is Chapman playing with his h2 ball??

07 Jan 2014 10:03AM (Tournament); 56 Readers

he is, goes to partner and sends partner to 3, good rush to h2

Doesn't get the peel after 3, setting up for a delayed

07 Jan 2014 10:10AM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Runs rover with a return rush to the peg

07 Jan 2014 10:11AM (Tournament); 54 Readers

Above comment wrong lawn! Chapman doesn't get the peel going to 6, straightens it up an will be attempting going to 1b. Pioneer for 2b is near the peg though so will he abort?

07 Jan 2014 10:13AM (Tournament); 56 Readers

Nope he's going for it

07 Jan 2014 10:13AM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Change of plan, aborts, I think thats a pretty sensible decision

07 Jan 2014 12:41PM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Chapman ooking at the shot through h4 at balls on the EB.. looks about 9 yards

07 Jan 2014 12:42PM (Tournament); 63 Readers

Nope, changes his mind, heads up to have a look at the ball near H2 - was an NSL not an MSL sorry! Heads to c3.. changes his mind.. heads to a baulk..

Pioneer for 6 goes to 6 after 4.. heads up to it.. on the right line but 3y short
