Knockagh Cup final is a repeat of last year
The Monday night prelim for the Knockagh Cup, the intermediate section of the Carrick Pool League, started well for the Colts winning the first two frames of the session, wins for Joe and Aaron.
Bubble pulled one back for the Blues, this was the story of the first session, a very even contest. The Colts went into the break 4-3 up.
Ryan Stewart made the score line even with a break and dish to start the second session. But Joe put the Colts back in front with a solid frame. The blues found a bit of momentum winning the next 3 frames, Matthew, new signing Rambo and Robin with the wins, 7-5 Blues. The Colts battled on winning the last two frames, Cujo and Dee taking the match to a deciding frame.
The decider was a tough frame with a big cluster of balls in the middle of the table. Ryan Stewart eventually found a shot and took out the clearance giving victory to the Railway blues.
A well contested, tight game which could have went either way. Best performance went to Matthew Hagan 2/2 on the night.
