Stoke Snooker Club v Jesters Snooker Club (Swindon)

The Swindon and Gosport Challenge

Saturday 29th July 2006 saw the first half of the Swindon and Gosport Challenge at Stoke Snooker Club.

11 players led by Paul Rose representing Jesters travelled down from Swindon to take part in the challenge at snooker, darts and pool. Stoke Snooker Club was represented members of the Stoke Junior Section and members of the club.

In the snooker event we lost overall by 7 points to 4. Our winning players were Dean Freeman, Jack Robson, Sean Spillett and Lee Warner. Unfortunately I lost to Paul Rose in our game.

In the darts event we won overall by 7 points to 4. Our winning players were Sean Spillett, Richard Douglas, Dean Freeman, Josie Barrington-Smith, Lee Phillips, Tony Dearing and Andy McMillan.

In the pool event we eventually won by 6 points to 5. Our winning players were Lee Warner, Ross Booth, Andy Rigby, Dave Norman, John Deacon and the winning and final game of the afternoon was won by Andy McMillan.

Therefore overall we won by 17 points to 16 and for the first time since the challenge has been organised Stoke Snooker Club has won a match against Jesters.

We are all looking forward to the 'away' fixture which is to be held at Jesters Snooker Club on Saturday 19th August 2006.
