A Secret Match with Mr Fleming isnt a secret any more !

Hey All,

thought i would share this, one of our very own Gerard Soriano played a 100pt game against Pat Fleming on the evening of Sept 30th right after Gameshow and he thought he could keep it all a secret. Good lookin out by Eddie Culhane who let the cat out of the bag and let me know about it.

This match wasnt Player Review Live style, it was just a simple production with Eddie doing the Commentary !

Wow

Steve, thanks for posting the video. It just goes to show, that a player can win a match without having a run over 25 balls. No defense either.
Pat was really off his game but it happens to everyone. Gerard ran 20 balls, after Pat missed a break shot when the score was 69 to 68 or 69.
I could not tell what ball he was playing position on with every shot. It looked like he just was playing "area position" with the cue ball. Whitey was running every where.
In the beginning of the game. The first or second shot. Pat caught the cue ball as it fell into the pocket. Man O Man. Did I ever get in an argument when I did that in a friendly game (I thought) and my opponent called me on a 16 point foul. I am glad that Gerard did not call that useless foul on Pat.

Secret match

Not so secret.
I stumbled on this match last week when I was looking at the Sigel match.
Unfortunately, my connection at home is not so good and I couldn't watch it there and haven't had time to watch it at work. He ran 200 a while back I think.

Yeah I believe it was 208, Eddie spoke about it during the commentary. And I remember when Gerard had posted about it some time back .

Gerard is the fellow who had never before run as many as 100, but jumped all the way to 205! That was four months ago.

I watched his game with Pat. Although both players made several significant goofs, the game was still a pleasure to watch. I really enjoy watching 14.1 played at that pace by good players.
