LAST SEASON'S CHAMPS JOIN STRUTT CLUB AT TABLE-TOP

PAUL ROE ... made matters safe for GOLF CLUB

THE TOP two teams clashed in the T & M Motors Snooker League as long term leaders Belper Strutt Club travelled to in-form Matlock Golf Club and a 4-1 verdict for the reigning champions means they join the Amber Valley cuemen on equal points with a game in hand.
Les Mooney, in unstoppable form at the minute, showcased his 96-34 success with a break of 31 and Ian McKay edged a black ball decider before Paul Roe made matters safe after another cliffhanger in frame three.
Justin Weller was in excellent form to pull one back belatedly but Graham Jones teamed up with McKay to ensure the Golfers were in jubilant mood on the tees the next morning.

Alfreton Palmer Morewood stay in contention a couple of points off the pace after a 4-1 defeat of Crich No 1.
Both John Smiths were successful for their respective teams, the Crich stalwart taking the opener 65-36 whilst Alfreton John's black ball win put the game to bed in the fourth frame after Simon May's run of 35 had helped him to level matters earlier on.

Dale Shaw amassed 99 points as Crich No 2 saw off Bolehill No 2 4-1, Darren Bunting on target for the latter.

There was a mixed week for Bolehill No 1 with a 3-2 victory over Whitworth Institute followed by a 4-1 loss at Edgefold.
Simon Zoppi (24 break) impressed in the battle with the Darley Dale outfit, for whom Mick Ferguson was in winning form in singles and doubles.
Sean Dobney's 36 break in the doubles was the highlight of the Matlock team's success, along with Rob Dicken's extravagant pink to kill off the frame whilst Andrew Brough on target for the vanquished.

Edgefold had earlier seen off Matlock Club 3-2 for an excellent couple of nights work, Dobney and Josh Lee settling the issue in the concluding pairs leg after Mick Mackfall had put the visitors ahead.
