BOLEHILL 1 JOIN CRICH BUT GOLF CLUB ARE WELL POISED

ROB MUXLOW ... run of 32 for EDGEFOLD CLUB

BOLEHILL INSTITUTE No 1 joined Crich Comrades at the head of the T & M Motors Snooker League table following a come from behind 3-2 win in their home fixture with Matlock's Edgefold Club though Matlock Golf Club are poised menacingly just a point behind with a game in hand.
Rob Muxlow struck first for Edgefold with a run of 32 contributing to his 58-38 verdict in the opener before Simon Zoppi struck back to equalise for the hosts.
Sean Dobney (30 break) edged the visitors back ahead and with Josh Lee 17 in front with the last four balls remaining, they were poised for a noteworthy success.
However, home captain Ricki Slack's 22 clearance in an hitherto scrappy frame saved the day and he then partnered Ian Birks to a 65-41 victory in the deciding doubles leg.

Matlock Golf Club are in an excellent position in third after a 4-1 win over Bolehill No 2. Graham Jones had three breaks of 20+ in top scoring whilst Keith Robertson (22 break) was the visitors' only victor.

Belper Strutt Club are moving through the pack after a slow start and they picked up maximum points thanks to a 5-0 win at Matlock Club where Paul Jarrett recorded his seventh victory in eight starts.

STRUTT CLUB BACK FROM THE BRINK IN A THRILLER

WAYNE SHOOTER ... took the deciding re-spotted black

A THRILLING cliffhanger ending with a fluked re-spotted black separated the teams when last seasons champs Belper Strutt Club entertained title chasing Bolehill No 1 on Campbell Street in the latest round of T & M Motors Snooker League fixtures.
Colin Marchington took a hard fought opener 59-40 before the home team fought back strongly through Paul Jarrett (31 break) earning a 56-46 verdict and then Wayne Shooter with a more comfortable success in the next.
Ian Birks edged a tense fourth frame 45-34 to set up the concluding doubles leg and the Bolehill pairing of Birks and Slack looked to have done enough when leading by 29 with just 25 on the table.
But an excellent long green from Paul Jarrett set him up for a succinct snooker on the brown and after the narrowest of misses the home pairing could tie the scores.
Next time around Jarrett needed no second invitation, clearing up with four magnificent pots to force the re-spot which ultimately went Strutt's way when partner Shooter's aggressive long pot attempt flew around the table into a random pocket to decide a real thriller.

Leaders Crich won 3-2 at Edgefold with Ady Lowe notching breaks of 24 and 22 after Sean Dobney's 30 had rattled their feathers early doors.

And Matlock Club returned to the winners enclosure with a 3-2 victory at Bolehill No 2. Mick Mackfall took each of his singles and doubles legs, in the latter paired with Paul Bryan after Keith Robertson (23 break) had levelled at 2-2.
