BOLEHILL No 1 EARN BRAGGING RIGHTS THANKS TO BIRKS

IAN BIRKS won both frames for BOLEHILL No 1

THE second week of fixtures in the T & M Motors Snooker League saw the two Bolehill teams lock horns with victory going to the No 1 team who defeated their No 2 counterparts 3-2 despite a depleted line up.
Martin Forster took the opener on the black after Andrew Brough fought back from requiring a snooker but Simon Zoppi soon equalised and Ian Birks had the eventual winners in front soon afterwards.
Birks had to turn out again as reserve giving up the penalty handicap for the team being short handed but showed all his experience to take the all important fourth frame 77-56.
Keith Robertson and Forster received a walkover in the doubles to reduce the final margin.
Matlock Golf Club earned their second successive win, this time 5-0 at last seasons triple winners Belper Strutt Club.
Ian McKay and Graham Jones top scored in a fine team performance.
League week 2 results: Bolehill Institute No 2 2, Bolehill Institute No 1 3; Belper Strutt Club 0, Matlock Golf Club 5.
Breaks: G Jones 24; I McKay 21.
