The 2022-23 League Cup Final between BS Golf Club and Takeley Chipmunks was held at The Dunmow Club on Monday 6 March 2023.
The first two frames saw both teams knocking in decent breaks, a 27 from Phil Bull in frame one, and a 32 from Steve Toelkemeier in frame two. With Takeley winning the first frame, BSGC narrowly missed the opportunity to level the match at 1-1 and Takeley took a 2 frames to nil lead. Frame three saw Mike Scott steady the ship running out an 83-37 winner against Trevor Parsons. In the fourth frame, both John Wrentmore and Jorge Placido had opportunities on the colours, but it was Jorge who potted the final black to level the match at 2-2 and force the match into a nail-biting deciding frame.
Takeley’s Phil Bull took on Mike Scott in the fifth and final frame, and the scores were tied at 35-35 points a piece with four reds left on the table. Cat and mouse type snooker continued onto the colours with both players keeping it tight. The match in the end went down to the final black which Phil potted with a sigh of relief as the cue ball finished in the jaws of the corner pocket!
The match was played in a great spirit throughout, and on the night either team could have finished as winners.
Commiserations to BSGC and congratulations to the 2022-23 League Cup Winners, Takeley Chipmunks!
Many thanks to The Dunmow Club for hosting the final, and to our Tournament Secretary Stuart Turner for preparing the match table to the highest standard, and for refeering and scoring the final.
