I like to play in my sons pool team, Thats mostly so I get to see them, I don't know how the team and me evolved it just did. I'm probably the weakest player and don't get much of a chance to play I'm usually the reserve.

Last night we had to play a team that were top of the league. Every one of my team lost so they put me on last and I played the most amazing game..it was like magic,(despite someone shouting don't hit the balls till they take the black triangle of them!) I was shaking with nerves but my son whispered to me don't shake mum, the guy you are playing is shaking more than you he doesn't want to lose to a woman.

I doubled the black into the centre pocket and won, the other team were shaking my hand and remarked that it had been an exciting game...my team were jumping on me. I think sometimes you have to visualise success.
