John v Adam in a 2:6.  I was shooting pretty well, but Adam was
dominating, not surprisingly.  Down 0:3, in the 4th game Adam took a
safety hiding the cue between one of his balls and the rail.  The only
shot I had was to shoot the cue into the rail and hope it hit my ball.
Which in did, kissing it into the side pocket and leaving me nicely
setup on the 8 for the win.  Sweet!  Unfortuantely, despite having the
early lead in the next two games, I wasn't to get to the 8 before
Adam, taking the match and the night to the final game with both of us
on the hill.  I continued to shoot well, but Adam got back on a roll,
and ultimately won out, taking me down 1:6.  :(

So we won 2, lost 3.  Disappointing result, but not a bad effort
against one of our toughest opponents.  Great job by Craig and Rob,
both getting quality wins.
