MATLOCK CLUB STORM TO FIRST SUCCESS OF SEASON

KEITH MANLOVE was on target in both singles and doubles legs

MATLOCK CLUB gained their opening victory in this season's T & M Motors Snooker League courtesy of a 4-1 verdict over Edgefold Club.
Graeme Wood opened proceedings in fine style with a 68-42 success over danger man Sean Dobney and then Keith Manlove added the second 67-40.
Mick Mackfall was in on the act to make the game safe with another convincing scoreline of 71-36 before Rob Dicken pulled one back for the visitors.
But Mackfall teamed up with Manlove to give the home side one of their best wins in recent times.

Matlock Golf Club were defeated for the first time, 3-2 at Bolehill No 1 for whom Colin Marchington top scored first up. Ricki Slack took the next on the black whilst Graham Jones (21 break) maintaned his unbeaten record so far.
