THE Dog's B's and Freddie Krugers met in the Super League of the Malvern Pool League at the Crown at Colwall on Sunday night.
Neil Prosser put the Freddie's 1-0 up when playing Martin Richmond, but then came Melvin Kitchin who plays for the Dog's Bs, who left Andy Jones with seven balls on the table. The young Ryan Mitchell then surprisingly put the Dogs 2-1 up. Kosta Kyte and Kenny Jones put Freddie's back in front at 3-2, which left captains John Farnell and Simon Kopsch to fight out the last singles. Simon played an excellent game but rattled the black. John tried to clear but failed and didn't even make Simon pot out.
With the score 3-3 and the doubles left to decide, Andy Jones potted a great black along the rail which left Jay Thorne and Ryan Mitchell shocked. Jo Paul and Melv Kitchin came on next in trouble 4-3 down but Kitchin produced the goods again clearing to make it level again at 4-4.
With the captains left again to decide, the tension grew, Simon Kopsch and Ben Lawrence should have clinched it but this time Simon missed the black. He still had a smile on his face as he watched John Farnell clear up to win the match 5-4 because he knew he had pushed them to their limits and hopefully this should mean they should go on to win the league as their last game is with an average team, the Anchor Inn.
Melv Kitchin is hoping to take the one trophy back to Colwall, though he must be one of the favourites to pick up Player of the Year.
