Dwaynes just gotten himself 4ft infront of rover, makes it with a lot of wire but copes, hits roquet to end of A baulk. tricky to pegout here, partners on the peg but maybe 5 minutes ago dwayne finessed it into C

3, the other ball is 3yS of C2 on the boundary
20 Mar 2018 10:53AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
dwaybne rolls K to 7Y N of 4 and makes it to 8y from partner... unsure why a takeoff wasnt used throwing K towards C4 and setting up
20 Mar 2018 10:54AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
omg.... hes trying to peg out from C3... interesting
20 Mar 2018 10:54AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
in the womens claire failed to get going and alix somehow has gotten infront of one with a break infront of her
20 Mar 2018 10:55AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
dwaynes roll to the peg was unsuccessful. Y is now 6Y SW of the peg and has tapped R onto peg, with time just about gone not a bad tactic
20 Mar 2018 10:56AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
trow shooting with K at Y, misses to 10YN of C1 on WB
20 Mar 2018 10:56AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
Oh there you go that was turn after the bell... warranting somewhat justifying dwaynes actions
20 Mar 2018 10:57AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
the clips have been reb=moved before i had time to properly have a look but it appears troys cluppage may have been somewhere around penult/4b and 1b
20 Mar 2018 10:57AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
alix made one and missed something after 1
20 Mar 2018 10:58AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
claire has hit a 24 yarder from H3 to 4 at gentle pace, was middling the whole way
20 Mar 2018 10:59AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
finals play is on courts 1 and 2 with a y or x or something on court 3
an interesting coice seeing as 3 is by far the best court and 1 is in significantly worse condition
20 Mar 2018 11:00AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
claires taken off from R with Y near hoop 4 to C3, tapped blue and has croqueted it 4Y W of rover going to black near h2
20 Mar 2018 11:01AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
appears to be croqueting it behind h2 (Bs hoop) while returning to parnter
20 Mar 2018 11:02AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
so we have B 4Y W of Rover, K 2.3Y N of H2 and claires balls 4y N of C4 with a rush towards H2 for her H1 ball

20 Mar 2018 11:18AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
Alix for h4 under control
20 Mar 2018 11:18AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
alix fails 4 out of nowhere and CB looks to have a tough break to nut out. could have been in a lot better position for her there but shes done well... rushing partner to 1 with h2 and 4 loaded
excellent shot, 4ft at slight angle
20 Mar 2018 11:22AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
dwayns got himself a break after a bit of interaction, through 2 with 3 loaded and a ball just out of C4
20 Mar 2018 11:22AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
claires played a couple of nice shots and has a standard tp infront of her
20 Mar 2018 11:23AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
claires loads are all within 2 foot of hoops and having a 5th turn under her belt this tournament odds are she might finish
20 Mar 2018 11:24AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
4b is peeled with everything in place
20 Mar 2018 11:26AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
dwaynes through
20 Mar 2018 11:27AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
, possible dslwith ball order although he may try and force an nsl as they are a traditional favourite of his. especially on these remarkably easy adelaide lawns
20 Mar 2018 11:27AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
claires not gone to partner after 4, but gets the rush out of 5
20 Mar 2018 11:29AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
yep dwaynes got himself ready for an nsl
20 Mar 2018 11:29AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
claire puts in a decent 1b load and has a rush on partner, cant see from here if its wide of penult or right infront of it... well know when she trys to peel it
20 Mar 2018 11:30AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
grovels through 6 calls a ref
20 Mar 2018 11:30AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
dwaynes placed R in nsl position 2y off yardline at max distance on WB
20 Mar 2018 11:31AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
has a rush out of 2b
20 Mar 2018 11:31AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
doesnt do much with it, awkward 2/3rds roll coming up
20 Mar 2018 11:31AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
no rush on Y to 3b, approaching from 4ft directly westclaire manages to hit red but its not peelable
20 Mar 2018 11:32AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
dwayne trying to place Y in nsl position from 4.5ft directly north
20 Mar 2018 11:33AM (Tournament); 4 Readers
grazes leg and is 2inches to the side
20 Mar 2018 11:33AM (Tournament); 4 Readers
i missed how claire did it but red is somehow in the jaws of penult... must have been a cracking roll
20 Mar 2018 11:34AM (Tournament); 4 Readers
dwayne finishes leave with a rush for U and both balls 7Y N of C4
20 Mar 2018 11:35AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
a lot of yellow exposed on the leg
20 Mar 2018 11:35AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
but troys lifted it!
20 Mar 2018 11:35AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
shotting from A baulk with the ball that was previously placed at hoop 4
20 Mar 2018 11:36AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
no way that was rushable to 1 either... interesting choice
20 Mar 2018 11:36AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
hits though... good shot
20 Mar 2018 11:36AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
i missed what happened with claire but r is 1.5y e of penult.. perhaps it was on the leg?
20 Mar 2018 11:37AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
runs a slightly angly 3b... clearly the quickest hoop on the lawn, and has a rush into c4 which she takes
20 Mar 2018 11:37AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
i mean 2b^^
20 Mar 2018 11:38AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
load for 3b is only 4y away from c4... needs a one in thirty odd stopshot here
20 Mar 2018 11:38AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
4b load is 17y S of 4b
20 Mar 2018 11:39AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
troys got himself something not bad looking, approaching 1 from 5ft west with y
20 Mar 2018 11:39AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
claired run 3b and has a 1 yarder on 4b load rushing W or a 4y shot on reciever rushing south
20 Mar 2018 11:40AM (Tournament); 1 Readers
takes the rush W and loads rover getting a rush to penult, will be running 4b off partner... the question though is, is R for penult or rover? ( as the commentator im dissapointed i dont know)
20 Mar 2018 11:41AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
makes mincemeat of 4b, rushes partner to 3yS of penult, taking off so its clearly only been peeled through 4b
20 Mar 2018 11:43AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
troy for 3 in a tidyish looking 3 ball, will pickup the 4th before h4
20 Mar 2018 11:44AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
claires grovelled through rover but it looks straightforward for her to play through to hoop
20 Mar 2018 11:45AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
troy safely through 3 but plays a poor croquet stroke putting r to 5 going to u, has to hit K which was his load but rushes it directly to U so should be aight
20 Mar 2018 11:46AM (Tournament); 2 Readers
claire setting a rsl, puts black out nicely but not a great rush on U... nearly pegging herself off in the proccess
not playing for it... perhaps wired through the peg?
20 Mar 2018 11:48AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
dsl*
20 Mar 2018 11:48AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
setting dsl without ball in centre wired from anything
20 Mar 2018 11:49AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
takes of back to blue... nice and dicey
20 Mar 2018 11:49AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
troy for 5 under controlish again
20 Mar 2018 11:50AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
claires done well to wire U just near the peg, not a bad leave
20 Mar 2018 11:50AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
R for penult Y for peg
U for 2 K for 4

shoutout to steve jones for being one of those few readers (one of the other readers may or may not be a player, fingers crossed my request for them to cease and desist has been followed). But as for your dribbling reply to supershot against a certain player scenario i see it as a much of a muchness. youthful courage will probably allow him to shoot with confidence at anything so im giving him the longest shot i can allowing the best chance to miss... only my opinion though.
20 Mar 2018 11:55AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
alix has missed into C4 and claires approached penult well with partner at rover

the womens final is Bo3 and the mens is Bo5, could just about be swapped at the pace they are getting through the games
20 Mar 2018 11:58AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
claire hampered after rover , looks like she can play it normally but with a short backswing
20 Mar 2018 11:58AM (Tournament); 3 Readers
troy played a horrendous croquet stroke loading 2b going to 1b load and missed an 8 yarder, dwayne misses the 6 yarder
20 Mar 2018 12:00PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
claires coped with her hapmered stroke and has a straight forward pegout to become womens championtroys hit with R (h1 ball) and is likely setting a leave
20 Mar 2018 12:01PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
lanm honey pegging out on C3, possibly ofr the match of the z or y or x or whatever?
20 Mar 2018 12:01PM (Tournament); 4 Readers

20 Mar 2018 12:02PM (Tournament); 3 Readers
