EDGEFOLD No 1 MAKE THE EARLY RUNNING IN REPEAT BID

JUSTIN WELLER ... 30 break and wins in singles and doubles

BOTH Edgefold teams were off to a flyer last week with four points apiece and the pair clashed on Edge Road in week 2 of the Ashford Arms Premier Division in a game which saw the No 1 team continue their quest for a second successive league title in fine style.
However, it was Rob Dickin who struck first for the No 2 cuemen before Jason Ankers (27 break) equalised in the next.
Neil Parkinson made it 2-1 and then Rob Muxlow (26 break) secured the victory before Parkinson and Ankers put the icing on the cake by taking a tight doubles leg.

Matlock Golf Club move second after a 4-1 win over new boys Crich Comrades with Ian McKay top scoring before Ade Lowe and John Smith averted the whitewash in the concluding pairs frame.

Belper Strutt Club came from two down to defeat Bolehill No 2 3-2 on Campbell Street. Kevin Munnelly top scored for the visitors but Justin Weller (30 break) took each of his singles and doubles frames to earn himself the T & M Motors player of the week mantle.

A tight contest was also fought out as Bolehill No 1 edged out Matlock Club 3-2 on the pink in the deciding frame, Ricki Slack's 54 break proving pivotal after he had also secured a century points haul in the singles.
Mick Mackfall had equalised at 2-2 in one of three black ball deciders on the night.

ROBBO IS BACK IN GREAT NICK AFTER SUMMER RECESS

KEITH ROBERTSON started the new season in devastating form

BOLEHILL No 2's mercurial cueman Keith Robertson opened up with a barnstorming performance in week 1 of the newly sponsored Ashford Arms Premier Division, scoring breaks of 55 and 47 as he ran away unchallenged with the T & M Motors Player of the Week award.
Matlock Golf Club were the unfortunate team on the receiving end, having been already looking down the barrel when Kevin Munnelly took the opener for the hosts.
Paul Roe equalised in the next before Robertson took centre stage to ensure a 3-2 verdict, taking his singles and doubles legs emphatically with Charlie Hodgkinson  levelling in between.

Each of the Edgefold teams won 4-1 with the No 1 team recovering from Graeme Wood's early salvo for Matlock Club as Jason Ankers and Duncan Harwood took both their singles and doubles.

Edgefold No 2, as in last week's six red cup, defeated Belper Strutt Club with Josh Lee top scoring on his return to action though Mark Newby and Paul Jarrett avoided the whitewash in the pairs.

Alfreton Palmer Morewood's erstwhile squad men Andrew Haggarty and Guy Taylor saw the hosts 2-0 up against Bolehill No 1 and they were safely home and hosed by the time Ricki Slack's run of 32 in the concluding doubles reduced the arrears to the minimum margin.
