Champions in successive years pre-COVID, the golfers are already showing they mean business this time around and they blasted out of the traps to take the first three frames with emphatic performances from Ian McKay, Les Mooney and Tony Blant (27 break).
Dual Derbyshire champion in days gone by Graham Jones added the next on the black for his third win in a row before Steve Burton and Roy Taylor gained a consolation point in the doubles.
Edgefold No 1 took their first league victory, courtesy of a 4-1 defeat of the previous unbeaten Tansley Potters. Josh Lee top scored while Ian Doe (35 break) showed he is no back-number as he continues his return to the baize after a long absence. Steve Hawkins' black-ball success secured the visitors only point.
Also winning 4-1 were Bolehill Institute who saw off Alfreton No 1, Ricki Slack and Ian Birks successful in both singles and doubles whilst John Smith notched for the visitors.
And Alfreton No 3 enjoyed an excellent triumph at Belper Strutt Club with Dale Shaw turning out twice due to staff shortages for the visitors and continuing the excellent run of players who have defied the penalty handicap as he took the decisive fourth frame after Justin Weller with a superb 37 break had the hosts up and running early doors.
Just one Elliott Carpets Billiards League fixture saw Mayfield Institute edge out Tansley Potters 10-9. Steve Hawkins was in tremendous nick with runs of 46 and 41 but Mark Jennings (32 break) did just enough to get the home side over the line.
