OPENING THRILLER SEES EDGEFOLD TAKE THE SPOILS

ROB DICKEN was amongst the breaks for EDGEFOLD CLUB
ROB DICKEN notched breaks of 40,24 and 21 as Edgefold Club defeated last seasons triple winners Belper Strutt Club 3-2 in the curtain raiser of the T & M Motors Snooker League for the 2018/19 season.
Dicken was still toppled in his singles leg by an inspired performance from Wayne Shooter which equalised Sam Lavelle's opening salvo for the hosts.
Paul Jarrett briefly gave the away side the advantage but after Steve Burton (24 break) levelled matters again, he and Dicken turned on the style in the concluding doubles leg.

There was also a tight contest as Bolehill No 2 edged out Crich Comrades by the minimum margin. Cliff Gould and Nick Berry had given the Tramwaymen a 2-0 lead but Keith Robertson (breaks of 25 and 24) took both frames he contested after Mick Bunting had squared things on a black ball decider.

Early pacesetters are Matlock Golf Club who returned triumphant from Matlock Club with a 4-1 triumph, Tony Blant and Paul Roe both accumulating over eighty points in the process whilst old warhorses Keith Manlove and Paul Holmes fought hard to secure a home point for the vanquished in the pairs.

League week 1: Edgefold Matlock 3, Belper Strutt Club 2; Bolehill Institute No 2 3, Crich Comrades 2; Matlock Club 1, Matlock Golf Club 4.
Breaks: R Dicken 40,24,21; P Roe 27; K Robertson 25,24; S Burton 24; M Newby 24; P Jarrett 22,20.
