| NICK BERRY |
Sam Kniveton had the hosts off to a flyer with a 55-39 win before Paul Trevett levelled in the next.
Conrad Spencer nudged the Edgefold cuemen back in front in frame three but again it was all square as Nick Berry produced his performance of the season to take the fourth frame 67-2.
And the two victors, Trevett and Berry carried the Tramwaymen to a 3-2 overall victory as they held sway in the decisive doubles leg.
Playing upstairs on the same evening, Edgefold No1 defeated Clay Cross Brotherhood No2 3-2 after a hard fought extended battle.
Rob Muxlow's black ball win in frame two equalised Andrew Bailey's early strike, and similarly the next two frames were shared with Steve Burton for the hosts and John Roseman for the visitors scoring confident successes.
So once again it was the pairs leg to decide and Burton and Muxlow stepped forward to deliver the win by a scoreline of 67-38.
Edgefold No2 continued their march at the top of the table as they took an excellent 5-0 victory on their travels to Clay Cross Brotherhood No1.
Reece Johnstone and Josh Dakin both secured convincing wins to set them on their way and Martin Barwick's full length double on the deciding black sealed the deal in the next after a strong fightback from well adrift by Duncan Waring.
Dakin stepped up again to defy the extra handicap with the visitors short on the night and then Barwick and Johnstone completed the whitewash in the doubles contest.
Also securing maximum points were Tansley Potters as they moved second thanks to a 5-0 defeat of Belper Royal British Legion.
Joe Neville maintained his undefeated run, extending it to nine games with a convincing 51-10 success to complement son Radford's earlier register, and the father-and-son combination worked to similar effect as the Hawkins, Steve and Joe, took frames three and four before combining in the four-hander to complete the nap hand.
Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2 are five points behind the leaders with a game in hand after their 4-1 win at Bolehill No1.
Jack Lowe took the opener 66-24 for his eighth consecutive triumph, before Colin Marchington levelled for the home side in a tight battle 57-45.
A high quality game swung to and fro in the next before Adam Cupit potted an excellent long pink to take it 60-52 and with his team short, pitched up again in the next in full swing with breaks of 38 and 20 to defy the extra handicap and make it 3-1 with a 93-25 verdict.
And the in-form individual winners teamed up to great effect in the pairs leg, freezing out their opponents to take a 51-12 success.
