JOE IS STAR TURN AS BOLEHILL TEAMS ENJOY ROAD TRIPS

JOE NEVILLE ... continuing to roll back the years

IF LAST week belonged to the cuemen of Crich Comrades, it was a triumphant few days for Bolehill Institute this time around with each of their teams recording victories on their travels, the No 2 team bringing home the bacon from Whitworth Institute courtesy of a 3-2 success and their No 1 counterparts delivering a 4-1 verdict at Edgefold Club.
Joe Neville, with a superb 39 break ensuring his fifth straight win, showed that his prowess around the snooker table remains undiminished  while another perennial evergreen, home team captain Geoff Brailsford, was his ever reliable self in registering for the vanquished.

Colin Marchington and Ian Birks also continued their impressive early season form for the No 1 team before Sean Dobney and James Travis stemmed the tide for the hosts  in the concluding doubles leg.

Crich Comrades No 2 hit the summit of the league for the first time as they produced the perfect performance en route to defeating Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 1 5-0.
Ady Lowe (36 break) achieved a unique hat-trick on the night, winning each of his singles legs (defying the extra handicap in the second of them with his team a player short) before partnering namesake Jack to victory to complete the Tramwaymen's nap hand.

And in the other fixture Belper Strutt Club twice came from behind as they overcame Crich Comrades No 1 3-2 with Wayne Shooter on target in each of his singles and doubles legs after Paul Trevett and Cliff Gould had put the visiting team temporarily into the ascendancy.
