Game Week 2: A Meeting of Generations
Game Week 2 brought a Castle Ward whitewash, two drawn matches and several frames decided by only a handful of points. It also gave us a moment that says a great deal about our league.
At Cube & Triangle, Glen Ayris, still competing at 93, faced Jayden Hunt, the youngest player in the league. There are 77 years between them. Jayden won their frame 87β60 as Rack & Arrow PC took the match 5β1, and later made a 32 break. Glen a true gent of the local game, and it is wonderful to see him at the table this season.
Castle Ward recorded the weekβs only 6β0 win against Rack & Arrow L*D, with Ben Rickards contributing a 35 break. Moorlands & Railway beat Rack & Arrow SJ 5β1, but the scoreline included a particularly close frame: Matt Lee edged Steve Jakes 81β78. Matt also recorded the weekβs highest break, a 65.
The two 3β3 draws came in the Hykeham B versus Hykeham C derby and Rack & Arrow DM versus Rack & Arrow PB. In the Hykeham match, Steve Bailey beat Daz Edwards by a single point, 57β56, while Michael Rudd made a 25 break. Nick Macauley made a 33 for Rack & Arrow PB in their draw with DM.
Belvedere Showboats and Hykeham A also shared the points, finishing 3β3. Joe Marum recorded a 25 break for the Showboats.
Those one-point and three-point frames show just how close the play can be. It is still early in the season, and there will be plenty more chances to see how the handicaps work across the league.
