TROY'S ON FIRE BUT IAN AND MARTIN SEE BOLEHILL HOME

DERBYSHIRE Under 21 champion TROY BRETT has been firing in the breaks.

TROY BRETT was in fine form this week with breaks of 58,44,34,27 and 24 in the space of three singles frames and a doubles frame  which were split either side of a 65 in practice!!
After winning his first round match in the Open Individual Handicap on the same evening, Troy took his place alongside the rest of the Gladiators Social Club team for their fixture at Bolehill Institute No 2.

The home side went 1-0 up early doors courtesy of a hard fought win by Martin Forster and this was doubled with a comfortable success from Ian Peacock.

Troy started the fightback though by coming back from the dead against Keith Robertson (who had earlier had a run of 29) to clinch an unlikely victory with the aforementioned half-century break.

And Dwayne Martin maintained his unbeaten run this season to square things up before previous victors Forster and Peacock prevailed in an exciting doubles climax to re-assert superiority for the hosts.

Bolehill's No 1 team also enjoyed a fruitful night, taking the spoils 4-1 at Belper Strutt Club No 2 with Simon Zoppi (27 break) top-scoring after Dave Needham had put the hosts in front early doors.

Belper Strutt Club No 1 maintained their winning form with a narrow 3-2 triumph at Matlock Club with Mark Newby and Mick McFall top scoring for their respective teams.

Jaxx Q Club, also from Belper, edged out Matlock Golf Club 3-2 on their travels with Steve Robinson and Paul Ogden amongst the breaks.

And there was another big points haul for Marehay Miners Welfare as they defeated Matlock's Edgefold Club 4-1 with Ben Monk's 44 top break.
