In match one, I played in the B Team and played the maximum four frames. I played well in a couple of them, but I was pretty ropey in the other two. However, I got lucky and won all four.
In match two, I was promoted to the A Team and I played pretty well, but I missed chances to win two frames that I would normally have put away. I comfortably won the other two frames, though, with the final one coming at a critical time when the team was 20-22 down.
At my best, I am a good county A Team player. But I'm still feeling my way back into it a bit, so I'm not at my best. I'm also having to relearn match pacing, how to stay focused during the day, and how to keep a consistent approach and rhythm.
I am putting some proper time in, though, and it will pay dividends at some point this year. With my foot injury looking medium to long term, I need something to focus my energies into that isn't too strenuous.
It's good to have this long-term love. It's like spending time with a good friend you haven't seen for a while.
