Wish Me Luck

Good luck mate

And dont despair if you dont make the England pool team, you must be in with a shout for the cricket team ;)
 
Thanks for all the well wishes folks.

I've just got back a couple of hours ago and thought I'd update this before I try to catch up with the 1500 (:eek: haven't you people got anything better to do!?) posts that have been made in the last 4 days.

My trials started well. Put on the tv table first match, and won 3-2 from 2-1 down, not playing my best but just enough to get the job done.

Then it all went downhill. I lost my next 3-2 after having a thin cut down the rail to win at 2-1 up, then my third match was against a very good player that had previously been in the England squad and although I didn't do a great deal wrong I lost 3-1.
The last match my head had gone down a little bit and I went for everything and lost 3-0.

The team event went a lot better. We beat Cleveland 23-14 and Buckinghamshire 23-13 in the groups, Bristol 23-18 in the semi & Nottinghamshire 23-15 in the final.

The only downside was having to wait about an hour and a half for a ladies match to finish :eek: before they would start the presentation and we could all get away.
 
I wouldn't say I held my own (or even did myself justice) but I certainly didn't disgrace myself. Even more so considering 2 of the people I lost to went on to qualify.

Over such few frames it's pure pot-luck [excuse the pun], like playing matchplay over just one hole.

Well done... you can be on my team at Woodhall! :D
