The QClub hosted The Greenisland Colts
The Colts got off to a flying start with young Jack Carson giving the Colts a Dream Start with a Reverse Dish.
A vintage performance from the canny old fox Robert
(The Hawk) Hawkins levelled the match. Colts galloped to a 4-1 lead with wins for Aaron Watters, Harry Warwick & Andy Galloway. The last two frames before the break were shared with Ian McCalmont and Aaron Watters at 2-5 the Colts were one away from a bonus point. Jack Carson duly provided in in style with a break & dish potting all seven yellows only to hang the Black over the bottom pocket. In his next visit he found himself snookered but came off the top cushion to pot the black to take the frame Colts 2-6. Colts fancied a big upset was on the cards but the Q Club had other Ideas. The fightback started with a Break & Dish from the Robert Hawkins. Aaron Watters thought he’d won the tenth frame when he potted a hard Black in the corner only to see the white fly into the middle pocket, handing the game to Q Club’s Tyler McKee. Wins for Ryan McKillop, Robert Hawkins & Ryan Scott gave the Home Side a 7-6 lead. Andy Galloway stepped up for the Colts and produced a much needed big performance to level the match 7-7 and share the points in a great pool match.
Best of the night for Q Club: Robert Hawkins 3/3
Colts: Andy Galloway, Jack Carson, Aaron Watters 2/3
