THE second round of group matches took place in the Bob McCartin 6-Red Cup this week and two teams are safely through to the knockout stages.
The Edgefold Club scored a crushing 7-0 success over Bolehill Institute No 2 which gave them 11 points from 2 games and put them in an unassailable position in Group C.
Whilst in Group B, Belper Strutt Club No 2 did enough in their 4-3 defeat to Marehay to ensure a place in the next stage as well as fielding seven players on the night which is surely a record in the Darley Dale and District League's history!
Jay Rowland and Lee Whatton stayed calm to edge the deciding scotch doubles match at the death.
Group A remains tightly knit as Matlock Golf Club edged out Bolehill No 1 4-3 with Chris Drabble notching a 24 break and Gladiators Social Club defeating Matlock Club 5-2 with Dwayne Martin doing likewise both in his singles and scotch doubles match (partnered by Vinnie Dennis).
Bob McCartin 6-Red Cup group stages: Matlock Club 2, Gladiators SC 5; Matlock Golf Club 4, Bolehill Inst No 1 3; Edgefold Matlock 7, Bolehill Inst No 2 0; Belper Strutt No 2 3, Marehay MW / PJ'z 4.
