EDGEFOLD No2 QUICKLY BACK IN THE GROOVE IN LEAGUE

MARTIN BARWICK

THE T & M MOTORS SNOOKER LEAGUE sprung back into action following the Christmas and competition breaks, and Edgefold No2 were quickly back into winning ways with a 3-2 home victory over Belper Royal British Legion.
Mark Newby secured the opener on the black for the Legionnaires but Reece Johnstone (21 break) equalised before Martin Barwick with a 60-12 verdict put the home side ahead.
Scott Brooks took the next 72-37 to ensure overall success before Newby and Steve Bullock took a tight doubles frame to reduce the arrears.

Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 and Tansley Potters lie joint second at the half-way stage, five points behind the leaders but both have a game in hand after the teams had contrasting fortunes this week.
Tansley defeated Edgefold No3 4-1 with Joe Neville suffering his first league defeat after Roy Taylor came from needing two snookers at one stage to snatch it on the black but Radford Neville amassed 99 points in the next and the Hawkins, Joe and Steve, also hit back strongly for 3-1.
The pairs also went the way of the hosts with Neville (R) and Hawkins (S) doing the business.

The all-Alfreton derby went the way of the No1 team, who defeated their higher-placed No2 counterparts 3-2.

Brothers Des and John Smith soon had their side 2-0 ahead with scorelines of 72-60 and 76-43 respectively before Jack Lowe and Ben Monk pulled their side level at 2-2.
However, the in-form Smith duo were back to take the doubles leg 73-37 and upset the title challengers.

Bolehill No1 won 3-2 at Clay Cross Brotherhood No2 with Colin Marchington and Ricki Slack (24 break) putting them two up before John Roseman (29 break) pulled one back.
Ian Doe made it 3-1 with Callum Greenfield having some cursed luck with several unforeseen in-offs before Roseman (Clay Cross Brotherhood sponsored player of the week) and Andrew Bailey reduced the deficit in the doubles leg.

Crich Comrades upset last season's champs Edgefold No1 3-2 with Nick Berry and Paul Hubbard each scoring convincing wins before Rob Muxlow and Duncan Harwood pulled the Matlock side level.
However, Berry and Hubbard continued their excellent form in the pairs contest, taking the frame by 80-34.

The other contest saw Clay Cross Brotherhood No1 overcome Bolehill No2 3-2 with Graham Jones in fine form, notching breaks of 25,22 and 22 as well as amassing 98 points in his singles leg.
Dale Shaw and Mick Bunting were successful for the vanquished but Jones teamed up with Tony Blant to seal the deal in the doubles after Ian McKay, playing a second frame under the extra handicap due to player shortages, had levelled at 2-2.

In the Classic Gas Bodyshop Billiards League, Tansley Potters defeated Whitworth Institute 11-7 with Joe Neville notching a run of 34 and Steve Hawkins also successful.

FOUR TEAMS PROGRESS IN EMPHATIC FASHION IN CUP

COLE SMITH, convincing win

THERE were some outstanding performances in the opening round of the Captains Cup Team Aggregate knockout competition with all four victorious teams scoring quite wide-margin victories with Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1's 306-233 defeat of Belper Royal British Legion actually proving the tightest of some not-so-tight ties!
That was still largely due to a 54-28 doubles victory from Wayne Shooter and Mark Newby when they trailed by 99 points in the final frame however, so its safe to say the home team were not overly sweating on the outcome.
Steve Bullock had given the visitors the advantage with a 48-32 verdict in the opener, but John Smith (80-52), Cole Smith (93-29) and Andrew Haggarty (73-50) all ran up big scores to put the home team well in the driving seat and on the road to ultimate victory.

Clay Cross Brotherhood No2 scored an excellent win as they took all five frames off last season's league champions Edgefold No1 and thus a 364-260 aggregate victory overall.
Callum Greenfield secured the opening frame 71-46 and then Andrew Bailey repeated his recent singles knockout win over Duncan Harwood, this time 86-53.
Matt Large took a tight third frame 67-55 and by the time John Roseman (25 break) sealed the fourth 68-45 the writing was on the wall.
Roseman then teamed up with Lee Shaw to complete the nap hand in the concluding doubles frame by  a narrow margin.

There was some high scoring in the contest between Bolehill No1 and Tansley Potters, with the visitors overturning a large deficit in the opening frame to run out comfortable winners at close of play.
Ian Doe was in fine form first up as he fired in a 90-22 salvo which was replied to in like for like fashion by Radford Neville in the next, compiling an excellent 38 break en route to his own 84-27 success and earning him the Clay Cross Brotherhood sponsored Player of the Week mantle.
Joe Hawkins then delivered his biggest ever win in his short league career to turn the tables quite dramatically in the next with a 97-18 victory that was always going to be hard to come back from.
Father Steve continued the momentum by taking the last four balls for a 73-34 win and despite a black ball win for the hosts in the doubles leg, it was academic by then with Tansley triumphant overall 329-226.

Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 saw off Crich Comrades 330-256 on School Lane with young debutant Kai Hopkins getting the ball rolling in fine style with a 75-56 win.
Carlos Zaragoza ramped up the pressure with a 68-23 success but John Magill then pulled the hosts back into the contest with a 68-38 riposte.
However Jack Lowe's 74-45 scoreline steadied the ship and he then teamed up with Paul Sainsbury to make sure with a 75-64 doubles success.

Just one match in the Classic Gas Bodyshop Billiards League saw Bolehill Institute defeat Mayfield Institute (for whom Keith Gregory notched runs of 39 and 31) 11-8.

Captains Cup (Team Aggregate) first round: Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1 306 Belper Royal British Legion 233; Clay Cross Brotherhood No2 364 Edgefold Matlock No1 260; Bolehill Institute No1 226 Tansley Potters 329; Crich Comrades 256 Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 330.

BREAKS GALORE WITH JACK LOWE'S 81 TOPPING THE BILL

JACK LOWE ... personal record break

THERE were breaks galore as players used the holiday period to ramp up practice and produce some of the most prolific scoring of the year in the associated competitions running alongside the league.
Top of the pile was a magnificent 81 from Jack Lowe of Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 in edging out team-mate Carlos Zaragoza in the singles handicap, comfortably his highest in competitive play and vindicating the rapid improvement he has made since the end of last season, having already overtaken his winning tally for the entire season before half-way this time around.
The Bob McCartin Six Red Cup saw a semi final and the remaining quarter final played out to start the new year and it is Edgefold No1 who await their final opposition in the final after defeating Tansley Potters 4-1.
Richard Ferguson took the opener 45-33 and although Radford Neville equalised on the black, wins for Duncan Harwood and Steve Burton put the Matlock side on the cusp of victory.
And Ferguson teamed up with Rob Muxlow to seal the deal on the black in the first of scotch doubles legs, before an academic win for the visitors reduced the arrears to 4-2.

Still playing their quarter final round were Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1 who entertained Bolehill No1, and the visitors looked in good nick, leading 3-1 after the conclusion of the singles legs.
Des Smith put the hosts into an early lead but wins for Colin Marchington, Ricki Slack and Simon Zoppi soon turned things around.
However,  Cole Smith laid a great snooker on pink in the first of the scotch doubles to set up victory, then potted match ball in the next before seeing Phil Longden slam in a fabulous long black in the decider with everything resting on it for a 4-3 comeback win.
The home team's tremendous battling spirit thus saw them taking pink and black to win each of the pairs legs in ultra-tight finishes and earn a trip to Clay Cross Brotherhood No1 in the semis.

There was also one T & M Motors Snooker League clash, but it was a big one with Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 defeating leaders Edgefold No2 3-2 meaning they now sit just four points adrift in second place with a game in hand.
Paul Sainsbury convincingly took the opener 71-37 though Scott Brooks levelled in similar tone with a 72-45 riposte.
Leading 45-0 early doors, Martin Barwick then inflicted the first league defeat on man of the moment Jack Lowe but only on the final black after a thrilling comeback fell just short 77-70.
Lowe was then drawn out to play again with the hosts a man down and he put his table time to good use to earn a 101-25 success and level at 2-2.
And it was Lowe (who on balance receives the Clay Cross Brotherhood sponsored Player of the Week mantle) and Sainsbury who steered the home side's ship home as they secured a 64-31 win in the deciding pairs frame.

In the Classic Gas Bodyshop Billiards League, Bolehill Institute narrowly defeated Whitworth Institute 10-9 with wins for Jim McCann and Ricki Slack respectively.

ANDREW THE SHOOTOUT SPECIALIST STRIKES YET AGAIN!

ANDREW HAGGARTY ... speed king

CLAY CROSS BROTHERHOOD took centre stage as a new venue for the annual Christmas Shootout night but as sure as night follows day, again it was Alfreton Palmer Morewood's Andrew Haggarty who confirmed himself as the ultimate Yuletide specialist by taking the Eddie Lomas Trophy for an incredible FIFTH time as well as lifting the Alan Hopkinson Trophy for a second time, having also done the same double back in 2016.
An excellent turnout of 26, only two short of last season's record breaking entry, convened upon Broadleys for the trio of quickfire handicap knockout competitions, comprising of six red singles and scotch doubles handicaps and the popular speed test of clearing of the colours in head to head rounds (also handicapped).
Andrew Haggarty was clear favourite beforehand for the speed event having already tasted glory in 2016, 2017, 2021 and 2022 and his chances were enhanced after receiving a bye in the opening round with his opponent having to leave early (maybe he had heard of his reputation!)
After this wins over Ricki Slack, John Smith and Jack Lowe saw him to the final against  Alfreton No2's Paul Sainsbury, who himself had come through with flying colours defeating Brian Fullard, John Roseman, Ian McKay and Callum Greenfield.
But in the final showdown, experience counted and the cool approach of Haggarty won the day with something to spare, making it a fantastic nap hand in the event as the owls began to hoot Christmas tunes outside.

The victor was already floating on cloud nine, having taking the main singles event earlier in the evening, where he came up against local favourite Lee Hage in the final.
Haggarty had defeated Reece Johnstone, Duane Parsons and Matt Large to reach the big stage after receiving a first round bye while opponent Hage had come through against John Smith, Duncan Harwood, Rob Muxlow and Steve Bullock.
Hage held the advantage with pink and black left but a fine long pot from the Alfreton cueman left it resting on the final ball, and despite a perfectly adequate safety riposte from the home town player, Haggarty cut the black sublimely into the corner pocket from long range to cheers from his supportive team-mates.

COLE SMITH and SCOTT BROOKS, pairs champs

A great day for the Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1 team was rounded off when youngster Cole Smith partnered Edgefold No 2's Scott Brooks to victory in the George Mills Trophy for the scotch doubles.
Wins over the Jack Lowe/Steve Bullock, Ricki Slack/Conrad Spencer and Roy Taylor/Alex Fisher combinations saw them into the final up against local boys Callum Greenfield and Andrew Bailey of Clay Cross No2 team.
The latter pair had overcome Rob Muxlow and Martin Barwick plus Reece Johnstone and Brian Fullard after a first round bye.
However, Brooks and Smith took control on the colours in the final showdown and leaving their opponents needing a snooker on pink and black, they eventually entered the winners roster for the first time each in this event.

Thanks to everyone who turned out to make it the night it was, once again plenty of stamina was required as ever, plus a big thank you to Clay Cross Brotherhood for hosting and Duncan Waring for his excellent organisation.

Happy New Year to all players and officials of the League and may the force be with you in 2026!

Alan Hopkinston Trophy (6 reds individual handicap): winner, Andrew Haggarty (Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1), runner-up, Lee Hage (Clay Cross Brotherhood No1).
Eddie Lomas Trophy (clearing the colours, head to heads with handicap): winner, Andrew Haggarty (Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1), runner-up, Paul Sainsbury (Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2).

DUNCAN'S GREATEST HITS ARE TOTTING UP ON CAMERA

DUNCAN HARWOOD ... highest competition break of 70

EDGEFOLD No1's DUNCAN HARWOOD recorded his highest break in competition play with a magnificent run of 70 in the opening frame of his Open Individual Handicap second round tie with team mate Rob Muxlow which he eventually came through 3-2.
With the break recorded in all its glory on the resident CCTV, Duncan joked that DVDs were on sale for a limited time only, but it actually proved handy as the referee had originally miscounted one short.
This was comfortably the Edgefold cueman's top break in league or cup play but he has been a consistent team prize-winner over the years and also notched a trio of trophy successes in the pairs handicap and individual successes in both the "B" Individual Handicap in 2017 and Christmas 6 reds Handicap in 2021.
Another claim to fame is defeating ex professional Nigel Bond in an exhibition at Edgefold Club when clearing the colours, again caught on camera, so definitely well on the way to a visual record of his greatest hits!!

EDGEFOLD No1 & CLAY CROSS No1 TAKE TIGHT BATTLES

ROB MUXLOW partnered Richard Ferguson to victory

A TRIO of Bob McCartin Six Red Cup quarter finals took place in the last week and there were a couple of thrillers with one of them seeing Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 entertain Edgefold No1 in what looked one of the ties of the round beforehand.
Rob Muxlow took the opener for the visitors 50-14 before Jack Lowe (23 break) replied for the hosts with a similar win of 42-13.
The next two were again shared with Adam Cupit earning a 39-25 victory and Steve Burton's 39 break instrumental in a 51-0 verdict for 2-2.
Lowe and Cupit then teamed up for a 45-24 success to nudge the home side ahead but a black ball win for Richard Ferguson and Duncan Harwood left everything resting on the decider.
And in a tense finale, it was Ferguson and Muxlow who came through with a fluke on the blue paving the way for victory with pink resting over the pocket as they took it 38-20.

The all-Clay Cross encounter also went down to the wire with the No1 team going ahead early doors thanks to a 41-10 win for Duane Parsons and Graham Jones' 39-14 victory soon making it two.
However, John Roseman with a 41-18 verdict and then Damian Woodward with a 31-6 scoreline pulled the No2 team level going into the three scotch doubles legs.
Jones and Duncan Waring took the first of these on the black to edge the No1 team back in front before a 44-8 riposte from Matt Large and Mark Bower levelled it up again.
But after a hard fought battle, the No1 paring of Waring and Ian McKay pulled their team through with a 33-20 deciding victory in another cliffhanger.

The other tie played saw Tansley Potters defeat Bolehill Institute No2 5-2.
Dale Shaw put the visitors into an early lead but consecutive successes for Radford Neville, Joe and Steve Hawkins put the home side into a commanding position after the singles legs.
Mick Bunting and Paul Young took the first of the scotch doubles 43-32 however but success for Steve and Joe Hawkins in the sixth frame sealed the deal before the home side took an academic last leg.

In the competitions, apart from Duncan Harwood's excellent run of 70 (see separate post), Ben Monk hit a fine break of 42 despite ultimate defeat to Paul Trevett (Clay Cross Brotherhood sponsored Player of the Week) in the individual handicap, with the latter also progressing convincingly in the pairs handicap with Nick Berry.

The Billiards Captains Cup semi final between Whitworth Institute and Bolehill Institute produced a nail-biting finale right down to the last minute of play, with Jim McCann (breaks of 48 and 42) edging his side ahead by seven points in the aggregate-decided contest before an untimely miscue saw Ricki Slack step in with an unfinished run of 18 when time elapsed for an overall 11-point victory (the exact margin by which Andrew Brough had taken the opener).

Bob McCartin Six Red Cup quarter finals: Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 3, Edgefold Matlock No1 4; Clay Cross Brotherhood No1 4, Clay Cross Brotherhood No2 3; Tansley Potters 5, Bolehill Institute No2 2.
