EDGEFOLD SETTLE THE SCORE WITH CUP CONQUERORS

ROBERT MUXLOW ... all cylinders firing for EDGEFOLD CLUB

IN A RE-MATCH of last week's Captains Cup battle that went down to the deciding black, Edgefold Club and Matlock Conservative Club locked horns again in the Highfields Farm Butchers Premier Division but this time it was the home team who gained compensation on Edge Road with an excellent 4-1 triumph.
Martyn Taylor evened his personal battle with Jack Lynch who had taken his measure last week, courtesy of a 47 break en route to an 88-22 scoreline.

And with Robert Muxlow (breaks of 27 and 25) also firing on all cylinders, plus a narrow win for Neil Parkinson, the match was already decided by the end of frame three.
Visiting captain Nick Kay earned the sole register for the Cons.

The Bolehill Institute derby went the way of the No 1 team who maintained their position at the top of the table thanks to a 3-2 win.

Andrew Brough and Ricki Slack were in fine form for the leaders, with Christmas competition champ Ian Peacock likewise cueing stylishly for the No 2 outfit, but it fell to Simon Zoppi to seal the deal in frame four before Peacock and Mick Bunting reduced the arrears in the concluding doubles frame.

In the other match Belper Strutt No 1 saw off Matlock Club 3-2 with Steve Bullock top scoring to put the hosts 3-0 up before the visitors rallied towards the end with Keith Manlove taking both frames he was involved in on his return to league action.

JIMMY HARPER PLATE TO TAKE PLACE AS ROUND ROBIN

OWING to the availability of blank weeks for the teams concerned, we will after all be able to fit in the Jimmy Harper Cup Team Plate as a round robin competition (for the three first round losers of the Captains Cup).
Dates will be advised on this website and also on the competition sheet going out at the end of the week.
Overall points aggregate to count (same as Captains Cup), if any of the teams win both matches they  win the competition, otherwise it will highest points difference after the two games if all teams register a win and a loss.
This will not detract from the prize fund originally advertised for other events.
