| GRAHAM JONES ... break-fest in singles event |
The match was switched to Bolehill due to scheduling issues and it was Ian Peacock who gave the hosts the lead with a 30-9 opening margin.
Dave Benson equalised before Keith Robertson and Mick Bunting struck back to give the home cuemen a 3-1 lead.
However, Benson teamed up with Graeme Wood to pull one back and Wood again, this time with Paul Bryan made it 3-3 going into the final scotch doubles frame.
But in the end Keith Robertson pulled out a fine long pot on pink to secure victory for his team after teaming up with Kevin Munnelly for the concluding battle.
Bolehill No 1 also secured a 4-3 win over Crich No 1 but conversely, they took the first four frames without reply, albeit with Colin Marchington and Ricki Slack only ahead for the first time after potting the last black. Keith Fretwell, who didn't appear in the singles contests, took each of his scotch doubles frames for the Tramwaymen.
The other two games were more conclusive with Belper Strutt Club taking all seven frames against Alfreton Palmer Morewood and Matlock Golf Club defeating Crich No 2 6-1.
Mark Newby top-scored for Belper whilst Graham Jones did likewise for the Golfers. Only Dale Shaw could offer some resistance for Crich.
An incredible Open Individual Handicap contest saw eight breaks of 30+ as Graham Jones defeated Ben Monk 3-1 with each scoring a top run of 47,a feat also achieved by Sean Dobney in his 3-2 loss to Alfreton's John Smith in the same event.
