This round saw ourselves up against the Blackburn Hotel at our place, and as is our attitude, we were going to make it a tough night at the office for them.  The night started off at a fair pace for us, with a few good games being played against quality opposition.  However, we were a bit rusty, seeing as how we had the previous fortnight off.  There were a number of guys playing excellent pool, and the mood was high with the expectation of another win for us

.  Come the halfway point of the night, we were slightly ahead, and we nailed the first 2 frames of the 3^rd quarter.  At this point in time we were travelling pretty well with a scoreline of 15 – 11 our way.  Our captain, Daniel Eaton, substituted himself out of the night, as he was not happy with the way he was playing.  As there were a number of our 4^th division players supporting us on the night, it was decided that we would bring one of them into the side, to gain experience, and also help bolster the side.  For a debutante to the side, Brendan Buckley did extremely well, fighting all the way in his first frame, which he unfortunately lost.  The second frame of his was a different matter, as he took this one, and did it well.  Even with his example, we were unable to push the advantage home, eventually going down on the night, 20 – 28.  Special mentions to Blair McKerley and Danny Searle for taking 3 of their 4 frames.  Even though Blackburn did have a few lucky shots their way, the 2 weeks off did nothing for our form prior to the Easter break.  All this has done is strengthen our resolve to ensure this sort of lead does not get withered away.  Because of this mindset, we pity Rack Em Up, as they are our opponents next week.  GO FAST BREAK!!!
