The billiards tornement

I went to the Derbyshire Billiards Handicap tournament last sunday in the North East Derbyshire snooker club. When I got there I found out I had to play Bill Morris. I had to get to 90 to win the match so I tried really hard to reach my goal but Bill Morris was on top form and played really well. I unfortunetly lost to Bill but he deserved it(well done Bill :-]). My dad beat Bill in the next round which put Bill back in the plate.

In the plate I got drawn to play Bill again!!!!! This time I easily beat him.

Next I played Frank Sharrat who kept swearing if he missed a shot which got worse as I beat him quite easily as well. After the match Frank was angry and said to the organiser(Mark Hird) "Women and kids should not be allowed in the game" he said some more bad things and walked off. He must have really hated losing to me.

At this point I was through to the semis and I played Graeme Sutton and it was a hard match but I got fully focussed to get into the final. My potting was getting better and better and I could see the cannons and in offs as well.

In the final I played Les Cooke - who was 77 years old - he is a very good player and it was very close too but there had to be one winner and right at the very end I focussed so much to win THE PLATE and I won £15 for it.

My dad picked me up and carried me around, he was so happy and proud. I really enjoyed the day and especially the win! My first adult tournament win. :-]
