No 1 TEAMS HOLD SWAY IN SAME CLUB SHOWDOWNS

ROB MUXLOW ... on target for EDGEFOLD No 1
THERE were two clashes of teams based in the same club in the latest round of Harriotts Sweet Chariot Event Planning Snooker League fixtures and on each occasion the No 1 team defeated the No 2 team 4-1 at both Edgefold Club and Bolehill Institute.
Rob Dicken took his win tally to nine out of ten to give the No 2 cuemen an early advantage in Matlock but Rob Muxlow (23 break) opened his account for the season in the league to equalise before Mick Hodgkinson Transport player of the week Duncan Harwood turned in a terrific display to win 82-23 in the next.
Andy Russell (36 break) made the game safe and then added the doubles leg partnered by Nathan Haymes.

Ricki Slack was in fine form at Bolehill with runs of 44 and 38 in winning his singles and doubles legs for the No 1 outfit to take the Viva Restaurant highest weekly break award though Andrew Brough (24 break) notched the biggest points haul of the night.
Martin Forster took the opener on the black for the vanquished 63-62.

Belper Strutt Club took back a 3-2 win from Matlock Golf Club with Steve Bullock top scoring in the opener before a late fightback inspired by Nick Kay who won both frames he contested.
Alfreton Palmer Morewood remained in contention with a 3-2 home win over Matlock Club. Andrew Beardsley and Kevin Rowland both edged tight contests for the hosts while Graeme Wood continued in excellent fettle for the visitors.

The Amber Valley cueists had also won in the Captains Cup group stages the previous night with a 302-208 aggregate verdict over Matlock Golf Club to maintain pole position.
Kevin Rowland and Graham Jones top scored for their respective teams.
