WOKING C are still unbeaten since September 30th – despite only managing a 3 – 3 draw on Thursday in the Byfleet League at home.
They played on their own stomping ground at Woking Snooker Centre in Surrey, but they came up against an improved Hersham Sports and Social B.
And Woking C’s star player Peter Butler, who made the highest break of 63 earlier on in the season, lost his 100% frames won record for the very first time.
Captain Ivan Astin was disappointed about the evening and told SnookerZone: “Played terribly last night.”
He added: “I lost my two, but Adam won his. I just gave too many away.”
The night started sluggishly with a long-drawn-out first couple of frames, as Adam Hill began the evening with a win on a brilliant long pink at the end in frame one.
It was then another scrap of a frame in frame two – but Hill managed to pot the final black to see Woking C into a 2 – 0 lead.
However, Astin looked nervous on his turn and said he had had little time to practice this week, as he again got drawn into scraps with his opponents, who picked off small breaks.
In the second, a very competent player picked off yet more scraps and won the frame.
The league match was live-streamed on Facebook.
Astin added: “Not a great night for us really, but luckily we have the cushion at the top. It’s hard though as I feel I let the side down.”
The side are still top now with 51 points.
There is one more match before the break for Christmas against Walton Comrades B, away.
Woking C have so far had out of 12 matches, won 11, lost one, and drawn one and one BYE.
The league will return on January 6th for five more games.
