It should be a good experience for you, and I get the feeling at some point you'll bag us a needed win.

Yeah the experience of playing on these tables is just amazing. Im getting more and more used to matchplay and have started bringing my practice game to the table.
But getting used to these tables again is going to be tricky!

Enjoy, I'm not going to be down there this weekend, but have a great time. SWSA is a brilliant venue. Reffed my first century there.

You may have reffed your first century but I've had a 147 made against me.

More info on start times etc can be found here
http://www.southwestsnookeracademy.com/ ... -Info.htmlI thought I would be a lunchtime starter but as it turns out I'm 9:30am so that means I'm going down tomorrow night after work and staying in Gloucester. Looking forward to playing on the evil Star tables again because my game is in much better shape than it was last time.

I'm playing in the individual event at 9:30am on Friday but I'll probably get my bottom kicked as my opponent is in an A team from another team. Jake is also playing at 9:30am so we can't watch each other, then Oli Brown is playing at 2pm and Ben and Reanne are playing at 4:45pm so they'll probably turn up later. The first round of the team event is 7:30pm. Any suggestions on order of team?

Wait the list says that Gareth Allen is in the team and that Reanne is in the West Midlands team. Is that a mistake or have you been secretly ditched?

Also that's Ryan Evans, not Reanne Evans
I don't think she's had a sex change although if she did that's a logical new name

OK. For the record both Ryan and Reanne are in the list. Ryan is number 80 and Reanne is 117, and they are both listed as West Midlands. Probably just an old list though

Oliver
Kyren
Ben

You wouldn't play me?
It's gotta be strength at the back, or am I bluffing for any teams that may be reading?
