Says "THE

With the exception of the CCC-Recreio First Division match, which has been postponed as most of the Recreio players are still in camp, there will be another full programme of Cricket League matches this week-end. Pick of the games will be that between the Optimists and RAF at Chater Rond this afternoon. This will be the last first-round match for the two teams and ʼn defeat for either will leave the losers well behind the pack.

TODAY'S GAMES
(World Professional Snooker Champion)
The diagram I left you with last week shows the balla reasonably well placed for acoring points. A little practice from this position, however, will show you how to acquire the touch for getting the right speed.
The picture shows the cue- bali,
facing a straight red into the right-hand top corner pocket. This is the correct ball to take fret, but make sure you strike the white ball on top to enable you to get a nice position for a pot on the black into the top left-hand corner pocket from
position XI. For this stroke
shorten your grip on the butt of the cue; strike your cue-ball below centre and stun it off the black for the red into the left- hand corner pocket.
From Position marked
X2 shorten grip on the butt of the cue and strike your cue-ball well below centre and delicately deliver a sharp action; your cue- ball should remain in the same the red that which occupied before it was potted.
You will now, have an ideal engle (X3) for potting the black into the right-hand top corner

From position marked XO a delicate stroke is necessary on the last red to leave your cue- ball in perfect position (X7) for potting the pink into the left. hand-centre pocket. For this stroke play your cue-ball high to bring it off the left-hand side cushion across the table for the
yellow. The pink is then, of course, placed on its own spot, and with all the colours on their respective apols continuity of the break is assured.
