🎱 THE OAK POOL REPORT — DALTON CAME FOR POOL… WE APPARENTLY CAME FOR A NIGHT OUT 😂

DALTON 6 – OAK 1

Not so much a pool match as seven individual lessons, six of which we apparently forgot to prepare for. 😂😂

Game 1 – Dan “The Bystander” 👀
Dan arrived ready to play pool. His opponent had other ideas. Barely let the poor bloke touch the table before packing him away.

Dan’s biggest contribution to the frame was watching it happen from a very convenient distance. 😂
❌ LOST

Game 2 – Joe “Pint Pending” 🍺
Shook off the rust and produced some genuinely brilliant shots. For a brief moment we thought we had a pool player on our hands.

Then his attention wandered back to the important matter of where his next pint was coming from.

Amazing shots. Terrible priorities. Same result. 😂
❌ LOST

Game 3 – Damien “No GoldenEye” Brosnan 🔫
The name’s Brosnan… Damien Brosnan.

Unfortunately, there was no GoldenEye and definitely no licence to pot. 😂

Tough opponent, a few chances came his way… and Damien very generously gave them straight back.

Pierce can sleep easy — there’s still only one successful Brosnan. 😂
❌ LOST

Game 4 – Jess “Please Be Gentle” 😂
Her opponent broke and proceeded to clear the table like Jess had somewhere else to be.

He narrowly missed the black, finally giving her one glorious visit to rescue the situation.

She didn’t. 😂

Even tried the old “take it easy on me” routine. He responded by taking it easy for approximately zero seconds.

Thanks for coming, Jess. 😂
❌ LOST

Game 5 – Wayne “THE TRAIN” 🚂
ALL ABOARD! 🚂💨

For once, Wayne the Train actually stayed on the tracks.

It was surprisingly close. Could’ve gone either way and Wayne battled right to the end, giving us genuine hope…

Then, right on schedule, the train pulled into Loserville Central. 🚂😂

Choo choo, better luck next week.
❌ LOST

Game 6 – Lindsey “HOW?!” 🤨
Played some absolutely blinding shots.

Played some absolutely diabolical shots.

At times it looked like she’d never held a cue before, then five minutes later she’s clearing balls like she’s off to the Crucible. 😂

But somehow… SHE WON. AGAIN.

At 5–0 down, Lindsey was the only thing standing between The Oak and a 7–0 public ex*****on.

Nobody knows how she did it. Don’t investigate it. Just take the point. 😂
✅ WON

Game 7 – Sean “Pool Player Loading… 17%” ⏳
First league game and the nerves definitely made an appearance.

There were some good shots, some questionable ones and enough glimpses to suggest there’s definitely a pool player somewhere deep inside Sean.

Unfortunately, last night he refused to come out. 😂

We’ll keep looking. 🔎
❌ LOST

🏁 FINAL SCORE: DALTON 6 – OAK 1

Six defeats. One win. Absolutely no dignity. 😂

Massive congratulations to Lindsey, who single-handedly prevented the words 7–0 WHITEWASH from appearing in the history books.

As for the rest of the team…

Maybe bring your cues next week. 🎱😂😂😂

🚧 UNFORTUNATELY, WE’RE CLOSED TONIGHT 🚧

Due to the road resurfacing taking place right outside the Royal Oak today, unfortunately we won’t be able to open tonight.

With the resurfacing work directly outside us, delivery drivers haven’t been able to get into our car park, meaning we’ve been unable to receive the deliveries we need for tonight’s service.

We’re also unsure what time the work will be finished, so unfortunately we’ve made the decision to remain closed for the evening.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your understanding.

Back open as normal tomorrow. ❤️

🎱🍺 ROYAL OAK POOL — THE LEAGUE IS BACK… UNFORTUNATELY SO ARE SOME OF OUR PLAYERS 🍺🎱

First league game of the season against Britannia A.

FINAL SCORE: BRITANNIA A 5 – 2 ROYAL OAK

Seven games.

Two wins.

Five performances that will now be used as training material under the heading:

“WHAT NOT TO DO.”

Let’s begin. 👇😂

🎱 GAME 1 — DAN “THE WANNABE” ✅

Dan’s spent years desperately trying to convince everyone he’s a pool player.

Last night, for one glorious game, he actually managed it.

SEVEN-BALLED HIS OPPONENT. 😳

Absolutely wiped the floor with him.

Dan walked away looking like he’d just won the World Championship.

Calm down, Ronnie. It’s week one.

1–0 OAK.

🎱 GAME 2 — JESS “THE UNDERTAKER” ✅

Cool. Calm. Collected.

No hero shots. No drama.

Just tap… tap… tap…

Slowly buried her opponent one ball at a time.

Job done.

2–0 OAK.

Two games. Two wins.

We genuinely started wondering if we might have a decent team this year.

Then Carly stepped up.

🎱 GAME 3 — CARLY “THE POT DODGER” ❌

Shoulda.

Coulda.

Woulda.

Didn’t.

Carly spent most of the game carefully ensuring that every ball remained safely OUTSIDE the pockets.

Some people play positional pool.

Carly plays conservation pool.

No balls were harmed or potted during this performance.

2–1.

🎱 GAME 4 — CRAIG “THE BARN DOOR” ❌

Somehow gets himself all the way down to the black.

One ball remaining.

Six pockets available.

Craig needed just one decent shot.

Unfortunately, he’d apparently used his yearly allowance getting that far.

Couldn’t hit a barn door if you painted a pocket on it.

2–2.

🎱 GAME 5 — LINDSEY “THE WARM-UP WORLD CHAMPION” ❌

Practice was sensational.

Pots everywhere.

Confidence flying.

Looking dangerous.

Then the actual match started.

We’d like to report Lindsey missing.

Last seen approximately three minutes before her game began.

If found, please return her to the Royal Oak before next week’s fixture.

2–3.

🎱 GAME 6 — DAMIEN “POND” ❌

Why Pond?

Because he’s certainly no Pierce. 😂

The younger Brosnan brother stepped up.

We were expecting 007.

What arrived was more Temu James Bond.

Pierce had a licence to kill.

Damien appeared to have a licence to miss.

NO TIME TO POT.

Coming soon to a pool hall near you.

2–4.

🎱 GAME 7 — CRAIG “THE DOUBLE DISASTER” ❌

Yes.

CRAIG AGAIN.

After his first performance, the sensible thing would’ve been to hide his cue.

Instead, we gave him another game.

Maybe redemption?

Maybe a heroic comeback?

Maybe he’d learned from his mistakes?

Absolutely not.

LOST AGAIN.

Two games.

Two defeats.

Craig personally supplied Britannia with 40% of their entire score.

Their captain has apparently asked if he’s available for them next week.

Stick to the kitchen, Chef. 👨‍🍳

At least you’ve got a fighting chance of finding the black pepper.

🏆 FINAL SCORE

BRITANNIA A — 5
ROYAL OAK — 2

Another week like that and team selection will be done by raffle. 😂🎱
