STRUTT CLUB COMPLETE HISTORIC TREBLE SUCCESS

RECORD BREAKING BELPER STRUTT CLUB
L-R: Steve Bullock, Mark Newby, Paul Jarrett and Wayne Shooter.

BELPER STRUTT CLUB completed the best season yet for any team since all four major trophies were introduced into the seasonal programme as they defeated Edgefold No 2 team 3-2 at Crich Comrades Club to secure their third piece of silverware to go with one runners up prize.
Already having won the Hartshorne Cup for the League Championship and the Captains Cup aggregate competition, Strutt were off to the best possible start with Paul Jarrett getting the better of Matlock danger man Sean Dobney 61-42 in the opener.
Rob Dicken levelled matters in the next with a 52-38 success but Mark Newby restored the Amber Valley cuemen's advantage with a 60-48 verdict to make it 2-1.
And the victory was assured after the tighest battle of the night saw Steve Bullock edge out Steve Burton 54-46 before Edgefold's Dobney and Dicken took the academic doubles leg at the end to keep the score to the minimum margin.
Congratulations to Strutt Club on a great season which will only be bettered if someone does the grand slam of all four trophies so we may be waiting some time for that accolade!
