| PAUL ROE |
Joe Neville took the opener in a battle royale against his old team mate from the 80s Graham Jones with a 60-40 success but Ian McKay levelled in the next courtesy of a black ball decider.
Paul Roe was in sparkling form as he stormed to an 87-28 victory in frame three but it was level again at 2-2 after Steve Hawkins' 65-35 verdict.
But McKay teamed up with Duncan Waring in the concluding doubles leg to steer the home side to what could yet be an all-important win.
Also triumphing in a decider were Alfreton Palmer Morewood No1 who edged out Edgefold No2 3-2 with Phil Longden and young Cole Smith showing great resolve to take the deciding pairs frame 54-26.
John Smith had top scored to equalise in the previous frame after Jamie Wright's 72-37 victory had put the Matlock side ahead.
Alfreton No3 took an excellent 4-1 win from Bolehill Institute with Ady Lowe taking each of his singles and doubles frames on pink and black respectively and Jack Lowe winning both his regular frame and as the reserve under the points penalty.
Colin Marchington had earlier taken the opener for the hosts 66-65.
The other fixture saw Edgefold No1 extend their unsassailable advantage at the top as they defeated the recently improved Belper Royal British Legion 4-1.
Steve Burton (28 break) top scored in winning his twelfth frame out of fifteen whilst Mark Newby, another player to enjoy a fine season, was the sole victor early doors for the visitors.
In the "B" Individual Handicap semi final, Ade Smith was in great nick as he booked his place in the final with a 3-1 success including a black ball decider and an excellent run of 31.
