| ANDY RUSSELL ... winning night in singles and doubles plus 42 break |
Richard Ferguson, with the highest league break so far of 47, took the opener before Andy Russell increased the lead courtesy of his own run of 42 to see off danger man Martyn Taylor.
However, Luke Thomas on his debut pulled one back before Sean Dobney's black ball win over Neil Parkinson made it all square going into the deciding doubles.
It was Russell and Rob Muxlow who held sway here however, with a vital 75-53 win to keep their side's unbeaten record intact.
Nearest rivals Bolehill Institute No 2 fell to their first defeat, 4-1 at Matlock Club for whom Keith Manlove top scored with only Mick Bunting able to offer any resistance for the vanquished.
Two matches were decided on the final black as home teams Bolehill No 1 and Belper Strutt No 1 edged out Alfreton Palmer Morewood and Matlock Cons respectively.
Simon Zoppi and Ricki Slack were in fine form for the Wirksworth based outfit, with Slack taking pink and black in the doubles to secure the spoils after requiring the last three balls.
Father and son Kevin and Jamie Rowland notched their first wins for Alfreton.
Ben Monk had contributions of 38 and 23 for Belper Strutt No 1, for whom Mark Newby and Richard Murren scraped home in the doubles to earn the verdict after earlier singles wins for Gareth Johnson and Chris Parker had put the visitors in front.
The other match featured a Belper derby with Jaxx Q Club defeating Strutt Club No 2 4-1. Tim Maslin top scored for the victors who were home and hosed before Justin Weller and Keith Hubbold took the doubles leg.
