CLIFF DELIVERS A GOULD-EN PERFORMANCE FOR CRICH

CLIFF GOULD ... barnstorming form

THE T & M MOTORS SNOOKER LEAGUE returned after a period of cup competitions following the Christmas break and one of the tightest matches saw Crich Comrades No 1 travelling to defeat Bolehill Institute No 2 3-2.
Dan Gould backed up his recent OMYA Cup win over Joe Neville with a 73-42 verdict in the opener and Paul Trevett amassed 91 points with a fine display of matchplay to make it 2-0 shortly afterwards.
Home team captain Mick Bunting pulled one back with a 61-44 victory but the Tramwaymen's Cliff Gould was another in barnstorming form as he delivered a match winning display to secure the spoils 86-15.
Bunting and Neville teamed up to take the final doubles leg on the deciding black to reduce arrears to the minimum margin.

Crich No 2 fell 5-0 to new table toppers Bolehill No 1 as despite runs of 24 and 21 from the Lowes, Jack and Ady respectively, the visitors were in no mood to surrender with Ricki Slack coming from the snooker required stage and Ian Birks contributing his own 24 break en route.

Matlock Golf Club saw off Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 2 3-2 with last years champs showing their class as Ian McKay (35), Graham Jones (31 & 28) and Les Mooney (29) were amongst the breaks while John Smith was successful in each of his singles and doubles legs.

Belper Strutt Club are in second place after a 3-2 win at Edgefold with Steve Bullock and Duncan Harwood top scoring respectively.

And Alfreton No 2 also kept in contention thanks to a 4-1 win over Whitworth Institute with Ben Monk notching breaks of 30,29, 28 and 27 with Geoff Brailsford registering for the Darley Dale cuemen.
