ALFRETON No1 TAKE DECIDING LEG TO BOOK FINAL PLACE

JOHN SMITH ... decisive win with Des in scotch doubles
THE delayed Bob McCartin Six Red Cup semi final took place this week in place of the scheduled league fixture between Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 1 and Crich Comrades No 1 and it turned into a real thriller that went right down to the final scotch doubles leg.
Tom Broughton got the hosts off to the best possible start with a 50-23 victory in the opening joust before Dan Gould equalised with a convincing 51-9 success for the Tramwaymen.
Home captain Andrew Haggarty made it 2-1 with a 62-32 verdict and then John Smith stretched Alfreton's lead to 3-1 in the next after a hard fought 34-23 success.
But Crich battled back in the scotch doubles format, with Nick Berry and Paul Trevett teaming up to take a tight battle 40-31 and then Ade Smith and Cliff Gould doing likewise with a 35-27 scoreline.
But the Amber Valley cuemen held their nerve as the two Smiths, Des and John, steadied the ship with a 44-15 triumph to see their side over the line to reach the final against Belper Strutt Club in a couple of weeks time.

In the T & M Motors League, Ben Monk's run of 44 was the leading contribution as he scored 99 points and the still unbeaten Andrew Beardsley a century as Alfreton No 2 ran out 3-2 winners at Crich Comrades No 2.
Ady Lowe salvaged some pride for the hosts as he struck in both his singles and doubles legs.

Belper Strutt Club moved to within one point of the top with a 4-1 home victory over Bolehill No 2. Darren Bunting had given the visitors an early advantage but from thereon it was one-way traffic with Wayne Shooter who top scored instigating the comeback with a narrow second frame success.

Bolehill No 1 are a point ahead after their 3-2 verdict over Whitworth Institute with Colin Marchington and Simon Zoppi in fine form before Mark Gwynne-Jones ground out wins in his singles and doubles  legs, latterly with the help of captain Geoff Brailsford.

And reigning champions Matlock Golf Club were also in the winners enclosure after a 3-2 defeat of Edgefold Club on Chesterfield Road.
Graham Jones made the game safe with a fourth frame success after Ian McKay had set the ball rolling before Duncan Harwood and Rob Muxlow reduced the scoreline to the minimum margin in the concluding pairs leg.

Bob McCartin Six Red Cup semi final result: Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 1 4, Crich Comrades No 1 3.
