| WAYNE SHOOTER helped STRUTT CLUB to the top of Group A |
Rob Muxlow, in fine form for the visitors this season, had the champs in front early doors but Paul Jarrett and Wayne Shooter hit back quickly before the ever reliable Justin Weller made it 3-1 soon afterwards.
Further wins for captain Steve Bullock and Newby and then Shooter and Jarrett in the scotch doubles left the Edgefold cuemen in a distressed state but Duncan Harwood and Jason Ankers showed their grit with a clearance of 22 to reduce the arrears in the final frame of the night.
Crich Comrades also scored an excellent 5-2 at last weeks conquerors Edgefold No 2. with Keith Fretwell and Cliff Gould joint top scoring whilst Sean Dobney continued his good run for the vanquished.
Group B remains tight with Matlock Golf Club joining Bolehill No 1 on eight points after a 4-3 success came courtesy of a trio of wins in singles and scotch doubles from Ian McKay whilst Simon Zoppi's 22 clearance to take frame two was the highlight for the hosts.
Bolehill No 2 and Matlock Club are just two points adrift with the Wirksworth men edging a 4-3 verdict with Keith Robertson and Ian Peacock winning the decisive doubles frame after Graeme Wood had given the Dale Road cuemen an early advantage.
