MAREHAY/PJ'z EXTEND THEIR HEALTHY LEAD IN A DIVISION

MAREHAY Miners Welfare bounced back to winning form with a 3-2 victory at Jaxx Q Club of Belper this week to extend their healthy lead in A Division.
Ben Monk and Andrew Gratton were in barnstorming form as they aggregated 256 points between them in their singles and doubles frames combined with Ben notching the highest A Division break so far to boot with 47 as well as efforts of 25 and 21 (twice).

Steve Robinson and Tim Maslin fought hard for the hosts to pull them back from 2-0 down but there was no holding the previously mentioned terrific twosome in the final doubles clash.

Captain NICK KAY won both his singles and doubles frames for Matlock Golf Club.

Matlock Golf Club scored a fine 3-2 success at Gladiators Social Club of Matlock as Chris Drabble and Nick Kay won both their singles matches and then the deciding doubles frame at the end, despite a 23 break from Vinnie Dennis, who had earlier won his singles frame to put the home team momentarily in the ascendancy.

Matlock's Edgefold Club, challenging for the runner up spot in A Divison, suffered a blow with a 4-1 loss at Bolehill Institute No 2 with Ian Peacock and Martin Forster top scoring in the concluding doubles frame after Rob Muxlow had registered the point for the visitors.

And in the Belper Strutt Club derby, it was the No 1 team who edged out the No 2 outfit by the minimum margin, further embellished by an excellent break of 45 from captain Steve Bullock.
