Following a great weekend of pool in Great Yarmouth, Leicester Ladies were keen to get a good win at home to Humberside to match our best result of the season against the same opponents earlier this year. Humberside had a few hiccups before the match meaning some late arrivals, only nine players and a delayed start. This seemed to affect us Leicester girls as we got off to a sluggish start, only just scraping the first set 6-5. We bettered this in the second set, taking it 7-4, and seemed to pick up momentum at the end of the third with a great seven frame run to take us over the winning line, and collecting 16 out of 22 second half frames overall. It was a good and big result for us although some basic mistakes crept in and we were hoping for better against a team short of two players.
Samantha Biddlecombe played some awesome pool to win maximum frames, and was well deserving of the player of the match award. Julie Tailby also won four, with Stacie Ackland, Lucy Bell, Teresa Blair, Emma Senior and Michelle Brown all chipping in with three apiece.
The result takes us to second in the league table with one to play.  Notts have a game in hand and are likely to finish top with S Yorks second after the disappointing news South Yorkshire had beaten Notts 27-17 (no offense girls!), but we are in with a chance of pipping them with another heavy win away at Lincs in December and depending on how their results go… So come on girls let’s keep our heads up and go for it!!
