STEVE BULLOCK set the tone for BELPER STRUTT CLUB |
Steve Bullock took the opening frame 74-56 and this set the tone for the contest with Mark Newby adding the next 51-37 before Paul Jarrett's ninth win in ten outings settled the issue via a very narrow 42-38 scoreline.
Graham Jones, the league's winning-most player so far this season, provided a sense of respectability to the scoreline by pulling one back for the golfers but Bullock and Newby piled on the pressure in the concluding doubles leg to end a triumphant night for the hosts.
Crich Comrades continue at the summit courtesy of a 4-1 defeat of Matlock Club with Ady Lowe and Nick Berry in excellent scoring form. Graeme Wood was on target for the visitors.
Bolehill No 1 moved second with their own 4-1 defeat of the club's No 2 team. Ricki Slack amassed 108 points for the victors whilst Ian Peacock secured the point for the vanquished, courtesy of an in off on the black.
A thrilling Open Individual Handicap quarter final saw Keith Robertson come back from 2-0 down against Graham Jones to score a deciding frame victory and move into his second semi final.
