DOBNEY, BUNTING AND BERRY TAKE INDIVIDUAL FINALS

SEAN DOBNEY (winner) with IAN McKAY (runner up), scratch final

THE three singles finals took place recently with Sean Dobney contesting the Scratch and Handicap events, the latter for the second year running, whilst Steve Bullock was in the Intermediate final for the fourth time in six seasons.
Edgefold's Dobney was up against Matlock Golf Club's Ian McKay at Crich for the OMYA Cup off levels and was soon into his stride, clearing up from green in the opener and then converting a long black for 2-0.
Despite some valiant efforts at snookers from his opponent in the third, the Dobney dominance continued with a 71-37 scoreline and he finished it off in straight frames once potting the green in frame four.

MICK BUNTING, open handicap winner

In action again the following night at Tansley against Bolehill's Mick Bunting in defence of his Open Handicap title, Dobney started well as he took a black ball decider to draw first blood.
However, Bunting came back strongly to equalise and then aided by a 20 break in the third and some excellent pots on the colours in the fourth, forged a 3-1 advantage.
The title holder produced some fine play in the next and looked set to close the gap but an incredible fluke on pink which presented Bunting with impeccable position on the final black saw him convert for a 4-1 success.

STEVE BULLOCK (runner up) with NICK BERRY (winner), "B" handicap

Earlier in the week Crich Comrades' Nick Berry defeated Steve Bullock 3-1 at Bolehill to with the "B" (Intermediate) Individual Cup, in which a black ball win in frame two proved pivotal for 2-0. Bullock pulled one back but Berry upped a gear in frame four to take the trophy.

In the first of the Jaeger Trophy play off semi finals, Belper Strutt Club edged out Bolehill No 1 3-2 with Mark Newby and Wayne Shooter winning each of their singles and doubles frames to seal the deal after Colin Marchington had given the hosts the lead.
