THE BREAKS COME BEN'S WAY AS MAREHAY WIN AGAIN

BEN MONK ... topping the A Division highest break chart twice over.

BEN MONK, already holding the highest break so far in A Division with 39 prior to this week, improved on that with a contribution of 43 during Marehay Miners Welfare's 3-2 home win over Belper Strutt Club No 1.
Andrew Beardsley, returning to the fold for the hosts after a few years out, secured the win with a narrow success in frame three before a late rally inspired by Mark Newby saw the visitors close to within one frame at the finish.

There was a thriller at Bolehill Institute No 1 who edged out Matlock Golf Club 3-2 with Ricki Slack and Ian Birks taking the deciding doubles frame on the pink after Graham Jones had levelled matters aided by a 24 break in frame four.

Matlock's Edgefold Club continued in fine form, with a 3-2 victory at Belper Strutt Club No 2.
Neil Parkinson notched breaks of 22 and 20 and Rob Muxlow top scored for the visitors after Dave Needham had gotten the hosts off to a flyer in the opening frame.

And elsewhere although Mick McFall opened his seasonal account for Matlock Club, it was Bolehill Institute No 2 who enjoyed a 4-1 triumph with Ian Peacock remaining undefeated for the season and Keith Robertson scoring a 20 break in the concluding doubles frame.

LATEST NEWS AND COMPETITION DRAWS.....

THE draws for the early rounds of the competitions were made recently at Bolehill Institute. Balls were drawn out by Ricki Slack and Keith Robertson.

As agreed by the committee, dates will be put on the matches again this season, though you can play them in advance of the set date by mutual agreement.

You must re-arrange with your opponent if a date is not suitable (please give at least 48hrs notice and preferably more) and re-schedule it within 7 days, failing agreement you can apply to the match secretary for a further 7 days to play it.

If someone doesn't contact the opposition and then fails to show, they are expunged obviously.
