| MATLOCK GOLF CLUB six red champs L-R: Graham Jones, Ian McKay, Tony Blant and Chris Parker. Also played: Charlie Hodgkinson and Paul Roe. |
John Smith struck first for the Tramway men, leading by 16 with just two balls remaining, he nestled the pink in the jaws of a baulk pocket and although opponent Ian McKay kept it out, the cue ball disappeared into another pocket to seal his fate.
Chris Parker levelled at 1-1 when he sank the pink into the middle pocket after reaping the benefit from a fluke on the blue beforehand.
A pivotal third frame saw Tony Blant snatch it 33-28 as he inadvertently doubled the pink into the opposite baulk pocket after attempting a thin cut and then saw Ade Smith unluckily go in-off on the deciding black.
It was soon 2-2 when Ady Lowe smashed in a superb long blue to leave the pink a sitting duck.
But the golfers took control in the scotch doubles legs with Graham Jones and Blant securing the next 44-28 after the latter's pot on brown left them 26 ahead with just 22 on
.
And then Parker and McKay secured the trophy courtesy of a 47-18 scoreline in frame six with Parker taking green and McKay the brown to leave snookers required.
There was a thriller in the Denis Morton Pairs Handicap quarter finals with Belper's Steve Bullock and Mark Newby recovering from two down to snatch a 3-2 win on the final black against Crich's Smith and Lowe later in the week.
Bob McCartin Six Red Cup final: Matlock Golf Club 4, Crich Comrades 2 (at Belper Strutt Club).
