| ROY TAYLOR ... singles and doubles wins |
Robert Muxlow had put his team ahead with a 69-36 scoreline in the opener but excellent wins for Conrad Spencer (57-40) and Roya Taylor (63-40) turned the game on its head soon afterwards.
Tommy Smith equalised to make it 2-2 but Taylor and Spencer confirmed their fine form on the evening as they combined splendidly for a 72-31 success and the overall victory.
Another tight game saw Alfreton No1 overcome Clay Cross No2 3-2, with the match also going down to the final doubles leg where John and Cole Smith put in a stellar performance to seal an 80-25 success.
John had earlier levelled after brother Des had taken the opener on the black before Mark Bower and Andrew Bailey had temporarily put the home side into the ascendancy.
There was a tighter deciding leg on School Lane as Bolehill No1 edged out Crich Comrades 3-2 as Ricki Slack and Ian Birks took the pairs leg on the pink for a 67-53 triumph.
Colin Marchington had taken the opener for his ninth win in eleven but Paul Trevett's superb pot into a baulk pocket levelled on the black and then John Magill's equally impressive yellow to pink pot-fest from unlikely angles saw them in front at 2-1.
Ian Birks calmed the storm however as Bolehill surged back in the remaining singles and doubles.
Belper Royal British Legion took a 3-2 win from Bolehill No2 but not before Dale Shaw took the first frame 67-66.
However, the next three singles legs all went the way of the visitors courtesy of Paul Jarrett, Wayne Shooter and Mark Newby before Mick Bunting and Paul Young edged a tight pairs frame at the end.
At the top of the table, there were good wins for both Edgefold No2 and Alfreton Palmer Morewood No2.
The Matlock side extended their lead slightly to six points as they took a maximum haul off hitherto third placed Tansley Potters with Reece Johnstone, who had notched breaks of 55,47 and 37 in a recent individual match, continuing in the same vein with a break of 35, and making him the obvious Clay Cross Brotherhood sponsored Player of the Week.
Josh Dakin top scored on the night where Tansley struggled to get any kind of foothold in a 5-0 defeat.
Alfreton No2 saw off Clay Cross No1 4-1 with Adam Cupit the star turn with breaks of 38 and 32 while contesting singles and doubles legs.
Young Kai Hopkins had given the hosts the lead with a 64-24 win while the visitors had to wait until the fourth frame before Duncan Waring registered with a hard fought 79-63 verdict.
In the Classic Gas Bodyshop Billiards League, Whitworth Institute were involved in two close matches, as they tied 10-10 with Mayfield Institute before being edged out 9-8 at Bolehill Institute.
The former game saw all four players amongst the breaks, with Mark Jennings' superb 51 the best of them despite him tasting defeat to Rob Lowe (32 break) on the night. Keith Gregory and Jim Mcann also had runs of 34 and 32 respectively.
In the second match McCann reeled off breaks of 49,48 and 33.
Meanwhile, Mayfield Institute progressed to the final of the Captains Cup (Billiards) as they defeated Tansley Potters by a decisive margin.
