๐คฃ BRUSHES, BLUES & BOOZEโฆ WITH A BUILDER THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE! ๐คฃ
Tonight at Plaza Snooker & Pool, weโve got a cracking Round 1 clash featuring four blokes who are probably better at their day jobs than they are at pool! ๐
๐จ๐ KEITH HARDING & CHRIS ELKIN
First up, weโve got Keith Harding, a former England international pool player! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
These days Keith is a painter and decorator, so heโs swapped representing his country for painting peopleโs lounges!
Heโll be hoping to give the opposition a proper whitewashโฆ although knowing Keith, heโll probably need three coats and still blame the lighting! ๐จ๐คฃ
Alongside him is Chris Elkin, a former firefighter turned driving instructor! ๐๐
Chris has spent his life putting out fires and dealing with dangerous situationsโฆ which should make him perfectly qualified to partner Keith!
Heโs now teaching people how to drive, so hopefully he can teach Keith how to find the right angleโฆ and not take six attempts to get into position! ๐
๐งฑ๐บ MICHAEL BANKS & PHIL ALLEN
Standing in their way is Michael Banks, a builder by trade!
Michael will be looking to lay the foundations for victory, build a decent lead and cement his place in the next round.
Although if his pool is anything like some buildersโ timekeeping, we might still be waiting for him to finish the first frame next Tuesday! ๐งฑ๐คฃ
And finallyโฆ PHIL ALLEN! ๐งโ๐ฆฐ๐บ
Philโs ginger, which is unfortunate enough, but to make matters worse, he canโt handle his ale either! ๐
Two pints and heโs anybodyโs. Three pints and heโs telling everyone he loves them. Four pints and Michael will be ringing Chris to bring the fire engine back! ๐๐คฃ
Philโs hoping to pot a few reds on Fridayโฆ although thereโs a good chance the reddest thing in the building will be his face after his second pint! ๐บ๐ฅ
SO WHOโS COMING OUT ON TOP? ๐
๐จ Will Keith paint a masterpiece or make a complete balls-up of it?
๐ Will Chris cruise into Round 2 or end up with six points on his licence for dangerous positional play?
๐งฑ Will Michael build a commanding lead or spend the evening filling in the cracks in Philโs game?
๐บ And will Phil make it to the deciding setโฆ or will the Madri have him seeing sixteen balls on the table by 8pm?
One thingโs certainโฆ if Michael and Phil lose, Michael will have to carry the team home. Literally! ๐คฃ๐คฃ
