They're off.

Soo plays Y to supershot position, 4 yds past rover.

Chapman shoots at it with K from C1.  Misses to just past the peg.

Lamm plays R and shoots at the double.  Hits K and sends it W of the peg getting his rush on Y to H1.

Lamm has picked up the 3-ball break well.  He has just made H3 with no forward rush, but plays a reasonably good roll.

Lamm continues with his break, although it looks a bit messy.  His 2b pioneer was very short, but he gets a good rush on it, at the expense of leaving his 3b pioneer short.

He puts K 4 yds behind 3b getting a long rush on Y, which he takes to the S boundary.  Approaches for an angled 3b hoop, and runs.

Lays a spread, but with K sent to the 6 yds W of the peg, and laying the rush on R.  No need to have put it that way round as far as I could see.

Aaron shoots U at K from the end of B Baulk.  Misses by nothing, into C1.

Soo rushes R to H6, and splits it to H2 getting a rush which he takes to 1 yd N of C1.

Soo makes H1 and rushes back to S boundary.  Gets U out to 5 yds off S boundary and a rush on K to R.  Sends K to H3, makes H2 with a rush to C1.

Rushes to N of the corner, and consequently only manages to get R out to H1 as he rushes U to the N boundary in front of H3.

Gets R down to 4b before he makes H4.

Soo sets up R and U at 4b before making H5 off K.  K goes to 1b after the hoop, and he peels R before H6.

Splits R to 2b after making H6.

Rushes R to penult after 2b, but it goes too long.  Sets up R and U before going to K at 3b.

Soo jawses R before making 4b.

Soo puts U to W of peg and rush-peels R.  K is perfectly positioned 2 yds S of penult.  Sends R to 1.5 yds N of rover and rushes K back to penult.

Soo peels rover from 2 ft in front.  Y sticks in the jaws.  Finishes to win +26tp.

They keep the same colours.

Chapman sends K out to supershot position.

Y plays to E boundary, level with the peg.

U shoots at Y from A baulk.  Hits.

Aaron makes H1 with a 3-ball break established, but no forward rush.

Aaron continues his break, and is just approaching H6.

Aaron has just rushed K onto the back of 1b, and has an awkward take off for the hoop.  Copes.

He runs 1b with K close behind, and rushes it in the hoop stroke to an awkward position just E of 2b.  Sends it 3 yds N of 2b before making the hoop.  Sends Y after the hoop towards W boundary max length position, and gets a rush on K to 3b.

Gets an angled hoop at 3b and jumps it through.  Hampered shot after the hoop on K.

Hits K no problem.  Lays up 3 ducks.

Lamm shoots from A baulk, hits Y, the middle of the three balls.

Puts Y to 6 yds N of H2, and gets a rush on U to H1.  Makes H1 with no rush.  Sends U to 5 yds NW of peg, going to K near W boundary still.  Sends K to H3 and gets cut-rush on Y to H2, which he takes well.

Lamm has his break now, but isn't looking at the tpo.

Lamm goes to 4b, lays a spread with K at the peg.  U is on the line between H1 and H2.  R/Y with rush on E boundary.

K shoots from A baulk, hits R.

Paddy gets partner to H3 before making H2.  Approaching H3 off partner with everything for a standard tp.

4b is peled after H3, but after H4 he rushes U into rover, trying to get a position to send it back to penult.

Looked a bit messy there for a while, but Paddy is trying the peel at rover before 3b.  Not sure if it went through.

Yes, U must be peeled.  It is rushed N after making 3b.  Should be all over for this game.

Paddy finishes to win +17tp and level the match.

Game 3.

They keep the same colours.

Soo plays Y to supershot position, 5 yds N of rover.

K shoots from C1, misses to well past the peg.

R shoots at K from the end of B Baulk.  Hits.

Rolls K to peg, and gets poor rush on Y.  Not a good shot.  Snicks Y and takes off for H1, too short.

R retires to C4.

U has a double with Y/K which he takes from A baulk.  Misses to N boundary 10 yds out of C3.

Y shoots at R in C4.  Y to K looked reasonably short to me.  Hits R, so it was obviously the best choice.

Takes off to U.  Toys with the boundary, but its on.  Splits U to H2 going to K.  Gets his rush to H1.

Soo is on a 3-ball break, just made H2.  R is still in C4.

He gets a forward rush out of H3, and picks up R before making H4.  He has a 4-ball break now.

Soo plays a tidy break.  He has just made 2b and looks to be laying a spread.

Yep, U is 2 yds off the W boundary, K is at the peg.

Paddy lifts K and shoots at Y from A baulk.  Misses.

Lamm doen't like the shot at K, which is a bit long to get an accurate rush afterwards.  Ignores K and rushes Y to U.  K is mid E boundary.

Rushes U to 4 yds behind H1.  Takes off for a 1.5 yd hoop.  Runs.

Gets U to H3, and makes H2 with a rush to H3.  They have some discussion about how to proceed.  Y is rushed tight onto H3.  He plays a take-off to K, and manages to get Y close in front of H3!  Hits K and plays a thick take-off back to U.  K is now 2 yds off the boundary opposite rover.

He hits U to 1 yd NW of H3, and plays a cannon onto Y.  The cannon works well, and he runs H3.

Puts Y in front of 4b and rushes U to N of K.  Gets U to 4 yds E of H5 with a rush on K to H4.  Makes H4.  Rushes K back to Y and puts it into the escape position for the 4b peel, then rushes Y back to H4 before sending it back to 4b, thereby getting a good rush on U to H5.

Makes H5 with a rush towards mid E boundary.  He cuts it a bit further N than that before sending it to 3 yds past 1b.  Gets a good rush on Y and peels from close in front.  Y only just goes through.

Gets a rush out of H6 to just past 4b, and sends K back towards penult and rushes Y to C2.

He makes 2b and get a rush on Y which he takes to well W of penult.  He sets it NE of the hoop before taking off from K to U at 3b.

He makes 3b with no forward rush.  Rolls U to nicely behind penult, has a 1 yd rush on Y.  Puts it in front and peels it through by about a yard.

He gets Y 1.5 yds in front of rover before making penult.

He irish peels from 2 ft in front.  Looked like Y stuck, R cannoned it through and stuck in the jaws itself.

Finishes to win a quality match +26tp(S), -17tp(C), +26tp(L).

That completes this test.
