Stuprint East Cornwall Pool League

The White Horse Snakes were jubilant after a thrilling victory over Butchers Arms A in the final of the Robert Frizzel Consolation Cup, held at the Highwayman. The match was finely poised after the opening round of singles with the scoreline tied at three apiece, with wins from Rob 'Rattlesnake' Kettles, Pete Toull, Alan Walker, Martin 'Anaconda' Andrew, Kevin 'Python' James and Ken Crowle.

There were mixed fortunes in the doubles with Kev James going in off the black to gift Gavin and Sally Dimmick the game, but the luck then evened out when Alan Walker did the same, awarding Martin Dunn and Martin Andrew the game.

The turning point came when the Snakes' finest Rob Kettles and Lee Cooch defeated the Butcher's best pairing of Pete Toull and Ken Crowle to put them one ahead at 5-4. The Snakes then went into overdrive, taking all six singles games in the final round thanks to Kevin 'Python' James, Martin 'Diamondback' Dunn, Rob 'Rattlesnake' Kettles, Martin 'Anaconda' Andrew, Adele 'Boa' Burns and Lee 'Cobra' Cooch to lift the cup with the final scoreline 11-5.
