COMRADES AND GOLFERS BOTH RECOVER FROM 2 DOWN

IAN PEACOCK was in excellent nick for BOLEHILL No 2

CRICH COMRADES came from 2-0 down at Bolehill Institute No 2 to maintain a slender lead at the top of the T & M Motors Snooker League though Matlock Golf Club still lurk dangerously just a point behind with a game in hand.
Ian Peacock and Keith Robertson were in imperious form for the hosts early doors as they recorded wins of 78-12 and 81-35 respectively courtesy of breaks of 24 and 22 respectively.
However, Ady Lowe with a run of 26 pulled his team back into the contest and then seasonal debutant Paul Trevett levelled at 2-2 as he edged the next 48-44.
And with everything resting on the doubles leg, the two winners teamed up again to score a dramatic last gasp win as Lowe took pink and black to see  the visitors take the frame 44-41 and ultimately the match 3-2.

Matlock Golf Club continue to chase hard, with their own 3-2 win from two adrift. Graeme Wood and Keith Manlove had Matlock Club in the ascendency but the ever reliable Graham Jones won each of his singles and doubles legs to swing the verdict.

Elsewhere Edgefold Club gained a noteworthy 4-1 success at the hitherto improving Belper Strutt Club. Paul Jarrett won a low scoring contest for the hosts whilst James Travis top scored for the visitors.

In the individual competition quarter finals, the clash of two of the strongest fancied players in the OMYA Cup scratch event went the way of Sean Dobney who saw off Graham Jones 3-0, the latter having been runner-up in the last three finals.
And in the Open Individual Handicap despite breaks of 55 and 30, Ricki Slack fell 3-2 to Mick Bunting in an all-Bolehill clash.
