DONNER PUTS ON ANOTHER SPECTACTULAR IN ALFRETON

STEVE DONNER of Alfreton PM No 2

THERE were two big local derbies in the T & M Motors Snooker League this week as Edgefold No 2 entertained Edgefold No 1 while Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 1 took on Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 2.
The Amber Valley clash produced fireworks last season with Steve Donner compiling the highest league break ever of 120 and the ace cueman who hails originally from Cleethorpes was in sublime form again with a magnificent run of 92 hot on the heels of a 117 he made earlier in the night in the Chesterfield League just for good measure.
In fact, all the No 2 team were in fine fettle with Ben Monk notching 92pts, Andrew Beardsley 81 and Kyle Ryde 80 en route to an unstoppable 5-0 success.

Sean Dobney did his best to match that in the clash of the Edgefold men, and he responded with breaks of 47 and 30 as they completed their own whitewash, James Travis was likewise cueing majestically, scoring 87pts in the singles and then 90 in the doubles with Dobney.

Elsewhere, Rob Mulliss continued his impressive start for Crich Comrades with his fourth straight win and breaks of 39 and 31 as his team defeated Tansley Potters 4-1.
Steve Hawkins reeled off breaks of 22 and 20 for the visitors but even then Paul Trevett with some supreme matchplay snatched victory for the Tramwaymen on the black, all this after Joe Neville had put his team in front early doors.

And there was an emphatic win for Alfreton No 3 as they saw off Bolehill Institute 4-1. Graeme Wood got the balls rolling with a superb 95-point salvo in the opener and then Ady and Jack Lowe won each of their singles and doubles, the latter on the black, after Keith Robertson had replied for the vanquished.

Just one match in the Elliott Carpets Billiards League saw Mayfield and Bolehill Institutes share the spoils 11-11 with Keith Gregory and Ricki Slack cancelling out each other's successes respectively.
