| BEN MONK ... hat trick of centuries in League and comp history |
He will meet Andy Russell who reached his second final, thanks to a 3-1 win over Steve Bullock.
Meanwhile Jaxx Q Club of Belper entertained Bolehill Institute No 2 in an important clash in this week's J K Interiors and Joinery Services League which may help decide who takes the runners-up spot behind champions elect Edgefold No 1.
Ian Peacock took the opener on the black for the visitors but Craig Sheppard took the next with an emphatic display of potting before Devon Neave edged the hosts ahead in the third.
Mick Bunting equalised but the home pairing of Sheppard and Neave dictated the play in the deciding doubles leg to earn a 66-22 success and ultimately a 3-2 victory.
Belper Strutt No 1 also remained in contention winning 3-2 against Edgefold No 2 of Matlock.
Ben Monk took the first before Steve Bullock sealed the deal whilst Jodie McLarkey won both his singles and doubles frames for the vanquished.
Matlock Cons, buoyed by reaching the Captains Cup final a week earlier, continued their resurgence courtesy of a 5-0 win at Bolehill No 1.
Charlie Hodgkinson, Richard Deakin and Chris Parker all took black ball deciders to keep them in touch for the end of season play offs.
Matlock Club defeated Alfreton Palmer Morewood 4-1 with Paul Bryan top scoring whilst Kevin Rowland registered for the Amber Valley outfit.
And Edgefold No 1 continued to do their impression of a runaway train at the top as they scored a 4-1 win over Belper Strutt No 2.
Keith Hubbold put the visitors in front in the opener but from thereon the league leaders dominated with Andy Russell and Neil Parkinson top scoring.
