Recording of last 2 weeks Zoom strategy calls
I intend to continue these calls with a different theme each week. The intention is to get your decision making muscles and strategic minds thinking for next year as well as having a bit of fun and meeting each other virtually.

Competition reports
Let’s have your reports on the weekend. Did you WIN OR LEARN? For me, I was filming this weekend at Auch and learnt a LOT about French strategy and how they can be exposed sometimes. During the week I played twice with a local guy who is a bit of a lost case. No one really wants to play with him as he is so erratic it’s crazy. I won both meat competitions with him as it was a deliberate idea to bring out my best game. It forced me to play as close to 100% as I could in the shooting position and whilst we had 1/2 easy ish games the others were epic battles in the dark. Once I had the jack I threw it into the nightmare places that no one goes! Next to the string in case I needed to shoot the jack if he dropped 3 points…..I had to do this multiple times. And whilst it’s only a 3 game competition for meat it’s highly contested and I won lots of respect for my strategic play, accepting my partner and my utter determination NOT to lose. He was happy as he has not won anything for ages and went around telling everyone how great he was 🤣

Well played Kevin , you read the opposition correctly and played your game accordingly. lost my league triples to a 12/13 game and the doubles to 13/11. Overall our club Handcross lost 0/5. But we all put up a great performance,all games around 11 or 12, but on the night the other team managed to gain the win every game , we beat them last time at home at Handcross Sussex 5/0 but we should have played better. Lessons learnt for next time we play them on their home ground Worthing West Sussex.

@Kevin ORourke I think we let them see our weakness, we had one team player with a shoulder injury and they could see she was struggling at 8 or 9m, so as soon as we lost the Jack they were in . Next time if she is struggling we should alter the order of play as she was the first pointer. Also their shooter Dave Sutherland was hitting 95% of his shots. Our shooting was only about 70%. So our shooting needs more practice too.

Grenoble 2002 Worlds
I'm playing around with a new tool I'm considering. Please watch this clip and let me know your thoughts on the following. 1. Would this sort of content interest you where I break down tactics, strategies and match footage. 2. Was it ok or could I have done better? 3. Do you think the wider public would want something like this? https://youtu.be/9MGTowqS85o
