Week 2

So I failed to get the Mid Week report in but hey here are the predictions for week 2 on a Friday (if UK), Maybe late on Saturday (If USA) and if your Kerry it will probably be a Sunday lol. Week 1 went pretty much according to plan. PFN defeated TC 4-2, UO and EPC shared a 3-3 draw. MP smashed MIB 5-1 proving this MIB team is no where near the team for WPC and MLP! Freedom beat SPS 5-1 but SPS blew 2 chances to have a 3-3 draw. Finally DS beat TCC 5-1 and SS lost to BP 4-2!

The controversy is of Jack being DQed for apparently not changing his name on IPA ladder before he started playing. This to me is a bit silly or a big mistake by Tim. Tim says he was sure he didnt change it but Jack of course says otherwise. I think I will give Tim the benefit of the doubt this week and say Jack will need to bounce back in Week 2!

This week is a little harder to predict as there are two matches of the weeks and 2 gambles of the week, shall we take a look? Of course lets go!

Red Group

Match of the Week

Extreme Pool Competitors vs Straight Shots

Both teams should have done better in week one. Chris is the Captain of SS for this season, and should have got a win against a average BP team that rose the the occasion and shocked a SS team that is going well in Inter Leagues of late. The big loss of Steve after only one week to UO is a shocker as Nigel had been talking up Steve as a big signing along with Chris, formally of Lucky Shots. EPC will need to bounce back after they call a unfair DQ but I think Tim was RIGHT to DQ. EPC need to bring 6 to the table this week as SS usually dont lose two matches in a row!

Score: 4-2 SS

Shock of the Week

Ultimate Outlaws vs Freedom

Yes it is the Shock of the Week and with Steve's move to UO confirmed they are looking like they could have a great chance of breaking into the top 3 this season. Players like Bud, Dave and now Steve will prove to have what it takes to bring down the strong Freedom team that were lucky to win against SPS last season. They have players that they had last season in Ash and Adam. But also a new core of regulars like Hope, Dwyane and Ella. Ella is a big addition for Freedom as I think she is one of the best Female players in Yahoo Pool. This is going to be one of the shocks of the season tho and UO is going to take it.

Score: 4-2 UO

Simply Pool Souls vs Brit Pool

Last week SPS were simply unlucky and BP stepped it up a gear big time to see off a SS team who are looking for a championship again in IPA. SPS will look to bounce back from there unfortunate 5-1 defeat to Freedom, where they missed 2 easyish 8 balls that would have drew and Derek (dallas.cowboys) had Adam beat but for a unfortunate leave on the 8 lost. This will be one hell of a match with Me facing my old team in BP. I left on as good as terms as possable but SPS will want toi get off the mark.

Score: 4-2 SPS

Blue Group

Match of the Week

Shock Special

Pool Fiction vs Dead Strokes

This is the first real test of my crazy prediction of Dead Strokes beating all and winning the IPA Regular Season. In there way is a PFN team who can sometimes struggle in the early weeks. DS rolled over a TCC team that many thought would have a chance of running with DS. I didn't obviously and I got my Prediction spot on! Dead Strokes will have to be on there game this week to defeat PFN and with PFN playing a very strong team last week in Ogges, Mina and Pita to name just 3 then this has the makings of a big match!

Score: Yes I am crazy 4-2 DS

True Champs vs Magic Pool

This match should be a very quick as MP has a array of talent and will use it to 1 by 1 defeat a weak TC team.

Score: 6-0 MP

Money In The Bank vs The Cue Controls

This will be a pretty close match as MIB don't have the WPC and MLP players to really put up a challenge in IPA this season, TCC on the other hand is a improving team and although they will have to go up a notch this week I think they can. This will be close.

Score: 3-3

Have fun gl and enjoy
