This week's fixture brought another loss and dispite such a great turn out the week before only 5 players turning up to play. This was originally 4 before Lucas and Dye managed to break into a house and carry Callum out with pool cue in hand in order for him to play. This weeks game was against the recently renamed 'Shakespeare' which normally consist of giants but after their recent shake up it seems like only 1 of them now remains. The barman was a right moody bastard and we were glad when our single winners didnt have to visit the bar again. This week marked the return of Sam Higginson as a singles player ( in more than one way ;) and even though he lost impressed greatly and came very close to winning, the winners of their singles were the Vinall brothers and Freddy after giving us all a scare when he hadnt turned up until all the singles had been played due to 'work commitments'. Having gone into the doubles tied 3-3 we lost all 3 and a 6-3 defeat did not reflect how well the defiant 'B' played. Dye also won a tenner on the football card having successfully picked west ham as the winning side after Team Captain had eyed up the same team but plumped for Burnley instead...
The Shaky 6 - 3 The Six Bells Bicester
Highlights: A spot on Quagmire lookalike, Callum 5ft 5in beating their giant 6ft 4in, Dye winning a 10er on the card.

26th of October 2009 will forever be a dark day in the history of the mighty and now renamed 'Six Bells, Bicester'. Having had the best turn out ever with a record 11 people turning up to cheer on the now only funteam left in the Division. Patrick truby was back to his former best in cheering on everyone and getting very overexcited, but we loved this dedication and means he is surely in the running for promotion to team mascot above the ever reliable but normally wasted simps. The singles went poorly with only Flames and Callum showing any true form. Callum on his debut was not fazed by the partizan crowd behind him along the sofa's and duly taught the boys how to play!
Doubles were highlighted by the single greatest shot ever seen by Matt Dye...although the white also went in! and having brought the game back from 4-1 to 4-4going into the last frame the newly renamed Ladies team eventually triumphed thanks mostly due to this one class player who wiped the floor with Freddy then owned the doubles.
Six Bells Bicester 4 - 5 Ex Servicemans 'Misfits'
Highlights: The sheer volume of numbers, Flames taking a drink off a girl, Dye's arse crack, Jamie bringing the old homosexual ways back!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This week brought a bye week where the majority of the team were looking for a week off. But the stalwart Capitano decided to arrange a "Friendly" against our older but not necessarily better counterparts, the Six Bells A team. Scores were tied 3-3 after the singles with the B team proving that they can more than hold their own. However a monumental fuck-up by Michalak in the 2nd game meant that dye was left to pot 4 balls out of 6 and the A team just proved too strong and prevailed with the win, nice one Michalak haha! Final score of 5-4 with Flames and Lucas clearing up in the final game. All was ended with a bit of friendly advice and a game of killer but even under the prospect of winning some money Joe "I swear I'm not gay" Harris was still throwing his toys out of the pram with what was described as the moodiest bitch to play pool. Cheer up!!
Recent Score: Six Bells B 4 - 5 Six Bells A
Highlights: Flames getting ruined in killer going out on his first 3 shots, Lucas still trying to figure out where his hair has gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Guiding hand of captain Lucas "No Hair" Vinall, The B Team have recorded their 3rd win of the season and broken the B teams record of wins in a season from 2 to 3! Recent signings include Freddy Michalak and Flames who have not only provided us with someone to laugh at, but might make us not finish bottom this year. Thank god we still have Joe "I swear I'm not gay" Harris to maintain the fearsome reputation of the Six Bells!!
Recent Score: Six Bells B 6 - 3 Ex Servicemen's Ladies '?'
Highlights: The strange old lady outside getting aggravated with us because we stood in the way of the door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The most recent result for the mighty B team was a historic 5-4 win over arch enemies; The Star!!! Freddy was visiting his 'home' for the first time after defecting to join the 'Mighty B' after the sum of two pints and a packet of plain were agreed between the two sides late last spring. Since then he has impressed although failed to shine last night losing his singles. Last night was mostly about the 'lesser' known players of our team standing up and being acknowledged finally, Dye and Simpson both with two wins from two and simpson playing arguably the shot of the century in order to secure his singles frame. The light hearted banter between the two sides continued which ended up with some rather loud and distasteful music played by the young whipper snapper and mean pool player Flames. We can safely say that even though at the start their captain sang along to some Slipknot, Flames blew him away by playing various songs from 'metal' bands such as Children of Bodom and Machine Head, which undoubtedly showed his superior music knowledge.
Recent Score: Six Bells B 5-4 The Star D
Highlights: Lucas lost, the jukebox was free and the barmaid was smokin' hot! We were all more than happy to give her our glasses to her to wash up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Departure of Joe Harris -
A statement was issued from the Six Bells B Captain stating that the departure of Joe Harris was on his own accord, and that at no point was he dismissed from the team.
The team wishes Mr. Harris all the best and good luck for the future.
Due to the departure of the memorable Mr. Harris, the Six Bells B team line-up consists of:
- Lucas Vinall (C)
- Jamie Jones
- Matthew Dye
- Matt Simpson
- Riezl Siret
- Josh O'Brien
- Sam Higginson
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Read all about it, read all about it! the formidable 'B' won its 5th game of the season and with the points gained from the 7-2 victory managed to shoot up the table to a provisional 8th place! Dye being in a recent run of good form was put on first but came up against a surprisingly good (and very ugly) kid who wiped the floor with him! Dye did have a chance to seal the game but thanks to a MONUMENTAL FUCK UP! lost. Dye was the only singles loser of the night with everyone, including team mascot matthew simpson sealing a victory on the black, winning.
The doubles were set out as usual with Flames and Jamie yet to form a solid partnership as first doubles. After there defeat it was left to the more established doubles pairings of L.Vinall/M.Simpson and the now legendary M.Dye/Freddy to seal the game.
The six bells have a bye next week and so 'training' will be on at the normal time
dont forget your laminated copies of the rules for the week after when we are away to the nightingale!
