| SEAN DOBNEY and ROB DICKEN (Edgefold 2) 2017/18 Pairs Handicap winners |
An edgy opener saw Jones take brown and blue before rattling the pink as he attempted a last gasp steal but the eventual winners held on to take the frame 51-35.
The next three frames all went down to the final black in a game of narrow margins.
A double on pink from Dobney left a comfortable black for 2-0 though the same player unfortunately went in off from long range in the next as the golfers stayed in contention despite a run of 20 from Dicken.
Again Dobney was the focal point at the end of frame four as he pulled out an amazing array of pots on blue, pink and black to snatch the frame for his pairing 63-61 aided by Dicken's earlier break of 21.
And soon afterwards the game was safe with a 73-38 verdict in frame four despite Jones' scoring a break of 24 in a vain rescue act.
In the Jaeger Trophy play off semi final, the same players clashed swords again and Edgefold No 2 shaded the match 3-2 to earn a place against champions Belper Strutt Club in the final.
Dobney (23 break) took the opener in fine style and Dicken added the second in a tight contest for 2-0. However, Golf Club fought back bravely with Jones and Tony Blant taking the game to the final doubles in which the terrific twosome Dicken and Dobney again came up trumps with a narrow 55-43 success to complete a triumphant week.
