BOLEHILL No 2 COME FROM BEHIND TO DEFEAT STRUTT

MICK BUNTING played a captain's role for BOLEHILL No 2

THIS week's instalment of Harriotts Sweet Chariot Event Planning Snooker League matches saw two enthralling turnarounds, a heroic performance and an emphatic home win as the race for the title gets even hotter.
Leaders Belper Strutt Club let a 2-1 lead slip at home to Bolehill Institute No 2 after Wayne Shooter and Paul Jarrett (Mick Hodgkinson Transport player of the week with a 90pts haul) had taken two of the first three frames.
Ian Peacock took a black ball decider inbetween those efforts, and ultimately he took the deciding doubles leg with captain Mick Bunting, who had made it 2-2 with an excellent display in the previous frame.

Bolehill No 1 joined Strutt at the top, coming from 0-2 down to win 3-2 against Edgefold No 2. Rob Dicken continued in unstoppable form, winning his 11th match in 12 outings but Ian Birks took his singles and doubles frames to pull it out of the fire for the hosts.

Edgefold No 1 moved just two points off the top with a 5-0 whitewash of Matlock Club. Andy Russell and Rob Muxlow won both frames they contested during the evening.

Elsewhere, a depleted Matlock Golf Club line up performed heroics to edge out high flyers Alfreton Palmer Morewood 3-2 with Ian McKay and Chris Parker taking each of their singles and doubles contests.
