Stafford Sunday travelled home from their latest Interleague away trip with a feeling of what could have been. A 3-2 deficit was turned into a 6-3 half-time lead before the winning line was in touching distance as the score reached 8-5. But a late surge by the Just Power Plus Baize team saw them claim 4 of the last 5 available frames to salvage a 9-9 draw that even seemed to take some of their own players by surprise. Putting in good shifts on the night for the Stafford team were Dave and Mike Barker with 2 wins apiece.
Stafford Blaze travelled to Cannock hoping to build on a run of two successive victories against a very experienced Cannock team. Skipper Lee Haidarovic had a near full number of players to choose from with 13 of the 14 active players available for selection. Making their debuts were Mark Billingsley and Paul Loughhead. The first half was a pretty even affair with debutant Mark Billingsley securing an eight-ball clearance alongside wins for Ben LeMaistre and Alan Sim making the score after six frames 3-3. However, poor finishing cost the Blaze the next three frames as what should have been all wins turned into three losses. Thus the half time score was 6-3 to the home side. Numerous changes were made at the break with Spence Trow, Will Edge, Paul Loughhead and Lee Haidarovic coming in for Tom Tonna, Ant Whitehead, Justin Mackereth and the unfortunate Scott Billingsley. However, this did not change the outcome as only Alan Sim (second win of the night), Spence Trow and the fortunate Will Edge getting wins to make the second half score identical to the first 6-3. Meaning a 12-6 victory for the Cannock team which overall they did deserve, even though the score line may have flattered them on reflection. Man of the match – Alan Sim. Next up the local derby between Stafford Blaze and Stafford Chasers which could be interesting......
Stafford Chasers claimed a 14-4 win after Alsager B failed to field a team for their recent match.
Stafford Sunday remain in joint 3rd place in the Interleague table with Stafford Blaze holding onto 12th place and Stafford Chasers climbing off the bottom. Individual player statistics from the Interleague matches can be viewed on the Interleague Averages page.
