CA North Of England Championship

Currently one all b of 5 first Aiton 26tp second Avery 17tp

Avery in play on this cold dreary winter like august bank holiday in game 3.

Hass just croqueted y off in c3 making his contact leave. End of turn.

Aiton u k is across c2

R is mid lawn e of peg

R for 3b all other clips on 1

b takes contact with u and thick take off sends u to side of h2 4yds away going to c3

Roquet k, take off to red just overruns rush line to h1

Rushed to n of h1 by 5yds

quality take off gets to slightly angled h1

made and roqueted R. Rushed to w boundary

r placed at h3 but no rush to h2. R dangerously near y in c3

croquet to h2 is not good. Near impossible angle declined. K runs away into c4

r shoots at y in c3

misses. Story of the day so far for Avery.....

keith is considering what to do like a farmer looking at sheep with a crook

tempted to shoot at what is probably a slight double in c3

u is directly behind h2 by say 4yds

u is for h1

u declines shot plays to peg high e boundary

R plays leaving y out a yard, gets rush s but comes on 8/9 yds n of c4 ball

u sent to 3yds off h1. R has no rush to 3b.

Looking at h2.

K sent to h2. This will be a squeeze

tried to get in front of 3b same shot but it is not a gimme. 1yd angled.

could finish hampered after hoop unable to return to partner.....

leaving the quad chance goes back to y off n boundary

to avoid any double

u to c4

y has cut rush chance to establish a break

cut to 6yds n of h2

rolling r to h2 angled rush to h1

k rushed to 5yds nww of h1

got in front but angled. Fails h1

Y has finished nearly on wire doesn't look like it will run.

its wired from k 5yds ne of h1 and also from r pioneer at h2

lunch break

K returned to partner in c4

y shot at these missed.

k got going blobbed h3 leaving double

Avery hit in with r and has wired k from u at h3 vertically leaving k 5 yd hoop laid up at h1 with rush to h1

I be just had a fine lunch finishing with plum crumble warm custard and cvltted cream ....yawn

culted cream is the trendy version

k shooting at y

monster shot to take on. 2feet off

y picked up k. Break established.
