KEVIN ROWLAND made it 2-0 for ALFRETON PM 2

ALFRETON PALMER MOREWOOD No 2 boosted their title hopes with a 5-0 home win over Belper Strutt Club, thus leapfrogging them in the process into second place in the T & M Motors Snooker League.
Ben Monk (39 break) was in his usual high scoring mode in giving the Amber Valley men an early advantage and stalwart Kevin Rowland soon made it 2-0 with a  71-59 success.
Andrew Beardsley then added his eighth successive league win to make it 3-0 and promising addition from the Chesterfield League Kyle Ryde (34 break) added another soon afterwards.
And Monk and Beardsley brought up the nap hand with a sterling 88-21 verdict in the concluding doubles leg to complete a great night for the team.

Graeme Wood amassed 84pts in his frame whilst Ady Lowe secured both singles and doubles wins.

And Crich No 1 were also victorious with a 4-1 home win over Matlock Golf Club.
