ALL CHANGE AT THE TOP IN BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY

BOLEHILL INSTITUTE No 1 and PJ'z Club No 1 of Ripley are joint top of "A" Division after a topsy turvy week of results, albeit with a slightly truncated programme of matches.
Both teams earned 5-0 successes as Bolehill's players notched four breaks of 20+ - Colin Marchington's 25 being the highest - in a fine team performance while the Amber Valley cueists defeated their No 2 outfit by the maximum margin thanks ultimately to a black ball win in the final doubles - Andrew Gratton earlier top scored in the singles with 92pts.

Last weeks leaders Bolehill No 2 suffered a blow with a 4-1 defeat at Jaxx Q Club No 1 of Belper. The home side were in rampant form early doors, taking the first four frames - Glenn Hull top scoring -  before the visitors belatedly found their feet in the final pairs.

In the other match Belper Strutt Club No 1 got back on track with a convincing 5-0 victory over Bolehill No 3 with Paul Jarrett making a break of 24.

League week seven results: Belper Strutt Club No 1 5, Bolehill Inst No 3 0; Jaxx Q Club Belper No 1 4, Bolehill Inst No 2 1; PJ'z Club Ripley No 2 0, PJ'z Club Ripley No 1 5; Bolehill Inst No 1 5, Jaxx Q Club Belper No 2 0. Matlock Golf Club v Matlock Club and Edgefold Club Matlock v Belper Strutt Club No 2  postponed.

Handicaps will be re-assessed after next week for players who are new to the league this season and for those players who have either played 8 matches or else won the trigger percentages of 75% or 30% relating to that number of games that earn a higher or lower rating.
If anyone else reaches those percentages at a later date their handicap will similarly be adjusted and their captain informed at that time in the interests of fairness.


The February meeting will be held at Jaxx Q Club, Belper on Wednesday February 15th @ 7.45pm. It is especially important that all final dues are paid by then as there is a new rule approved which means 2pts are deducted for every week passed that monies are overdue from this date, until possible expulsion (at the discretion of the committee) after 1 month of non-payment.
This was necessary due to some serious problems last time around!
Any outstanding amounts will be communicated at the bottom of the circulated sheet.
