CRICH TEAMS EARN STIRRING VICTORIES AT HOME & AWAY

ADE SMITH ... double trouble for Matlock Golf Club

CRICH COMRADES had a fantastic week all round with each of their teams victorious coming through tough matches with the No 2 team pipping Edgefold at home (3-2) and the No 1 cuemen travelling back from Matlock Golf Club with the same narrow decision.

Sean Dobney rocketed to the top of the breaks chart in the opener against Crich No 2 with a fine run of 55 before Jack Lowe scored his fourth win in five games to equalise.

James Travis edged the Matlock team back in front with a narrow success but again it was level after Graeme Wood turned on the style in a 90-42 verdict in frame four.
And in a tight deciding doubles leg, Ady and Jack Lowe took the honours for the Tramwaymen 50-38 after a tough battle.

Ade Smith and Cliff Gould each reached 90pts in the No 1 side's triumph with Smith going on to defy the extra handicap with a player down on the night and ensure victory forthwith.
Les Mooney (31 break) was his ever-dependable self for the golfers.

Elsewhere, Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 2 regained top position on the most wins rule, defeating Belper Strutt Club 3-2 with Ben Monk taking each of his singles and doubles legs while Steve Bullock top scored for the hosts.

And in the all-Bolehill clash, the No 2 team emerged successful over their No 1 counterparts 3-2 despite Colin Marchington's excellent 36 break in the opener.
Joe Neville continued his great start to the league campaign for the victors before Keith Robertson wrapped up the win.
