ALFRETON TEAMS BOTH SCORE RESOUNDING VICTORIES

STEVE DONNER ... 113 points and breaks of 33 & 34

ALFRETON PALMER MOREWOOD No 2 moved into a commanding position in the T & M Motors Snooker League with a 5-0 triumph over Crich Comrades No 1 sending them into a four point lead at the top of the table still with a match in hand.
Ben Monk scored a 96-57 win in the opener to continue his team's recent barrage of points before Steve Donner bagged 113 points on the way to success in frame two with breaks of 34 and 33.
Kevin Rowland took a narrow verdict in the next 68-57 and Kyle Ryde continued his unbeaten run since joining the team with a break of 27 to boot.
And to show the strength of the squad, Andrew Beardsley, with a nine out of nine record in singles action, featured only in the concluding pairs leg but made it count as he teamed up with Jamie Rowland to make it a nap hand.

Bolehill No 1, who fell 4-1 to the new leaders last time out, suffered the same fate at the hands of  Alfreton No 2 with only Ricki Slack and Ian Birks registering in the concluding doubles leg to mirror the events of the previous week.
Tom Broughton top scored for the hosts as he came through a tactical opener and Phil Longden opened his seasonal account with great pots on brown, blue and pink.

Bolehill No 2 also went under 4-1 to opponents Crich No 2, for whom Ady and Jack Lowe were in impressive form in both singles and doubles while Keith Robertson ran up 87 points in the sole response.

Whitworth defeated Edgefold 3-2  with Mark Gwynne-Jones and Geoff Brailsford amongst the breaks whilst Duncan Harwood was successful in both singles and doubles for the visitors, with partner Dan Stone taking barnstorming pots on pink and black to reduce the deficit to the minimum margin.

And Matlock Golf Club just edged out Belper Strutt Club in the other encounter. Les Mooney (32 and 20 breaks) continued his recent run of sublime form and teamed up with Ian McKay to seal the win in the doubles leg after Justin Weller had levelled matters at 2-2.
