| GRAEME WOOD secured the opening frame for MATLOCK CLUB |
In Group A, Matlock Golf Club needed a good win to put the pressure on those just above them but fell to a 4-3 loss at Matlock Club as Graeme Wood, Paul Bryan and Mick Mackfall had the hosts off to a flyer with a 3-0 lead.
Charlie Hodgkinson started a comeback but Mackfall and Bryan made the game safe in the sixth frame.
This left Edgefold No 1 needing just two points from their game with Alfreton Palmer Morewood and their 4-3 win was thus more than enough.
Richard Ferguson took the opener and Rob Muxlow and Nathan Haymes the deciding doubles leg after Simon Mayes had top scored for the visitors.
Group B saw the teams from Bolehill dominate with the No 2 team scoring an excellent 6-1 home win over regular league leaders Belper Strutt Club with Ian Peacock top scoring. Mick Bunting made the game safe in frame four after Justin Weller had earlier equalised.
Bolehill No 1 came from 0-2 down to win 5-2 against Edgefold No 2. Sean Dobney won both his singles and doubles frames for the vanquished but a fine fightback saw Simon Zoppi top scoring and culminated in a superb 35 break in the scotch doubles from Ian Birks and Colin Marchington, the highest in the event so far.
