An important home win against a decent Kent side and generally a good performance, though we could perhaps have hoped to win by a slightly wider margin.
We shaded the first set 6 v 5 and then put in a really good second set, winning it 8 v 3 with a run of 7 consecutive frames, for a 14 v 8 half time lead.
Kent then came right back at us, winning the third set 7 v 4 to halve our lead to 3 frames. They then won the last set 6 v 5 but London had already done enough for the win, Chris Hobbis securing the 3 points in frame 39.
Another good 3 out of 4 for Chris in his second match for the A's, consecutive 3 out of 4's for Jack Pople and a welcome 3 out of 4 for Robbie Robb after a difficult couple of matches.
Man of the match goes to Joe Prince for a very good, composed 4 out of 4.
