Still going...

Today i was set to practice but got a call from a friend asking if i wanted to play him. Today is third day in a row i have been playing snooker, and it's great to be playing so much.

I took the first frame, allbeit in poor fashion, nothing compared to 24 hours earlier when i got off to a flyer. He was well out of practice as he hadn't played in around 2 months. I also took the second in unconvincing fashion.

He made it 2-1 as we scrapped out the third frame, i had picked up my game but he managed to scrap it out well. I then came back and made a solid break, scoring highly i made a 23 to make a score of around 40 within 5 visits to the table. something i have been doing well this week, notably around the black spot cutting in a fair few balls.

He made it 3-2 although i was playing well he seemed to rack up a fair few points. He then made it 3-3 with some good play, i played really well but he seemed to make up the points. hey it's a funny old game. He actually won today 4-3 after a great comeback, although neither of us knew how. I'd potted well, and to make it 3-1 I potted well on the final few colours and felt confident, which i still do.

Think i'll be playing monday next week, so could be able to get in 2-3 sessions next week, which would be great. i'm on a role at the moment and playing winning snooker. I'd say at a risk that i'm playing as well now as i was before my break, which is great to see and hopefully i'll be earning soon so i can buy a decent cue. Currently i'm playing with a hybrid of my current cue, an old butt end and a tip which i prepared in 15 minutes and glued on at a rush in just under 2 hours before using it. Stranegly it's making me play the best i've probably ever played!

lets see what next week brings eh?
