STRUTT CLUB TAME GOLFERS AS CRICH SET THE PACE

STEVE BULLOCK set the tone for BELPER STRUTT CLUB
BELPER STRUTT CLUB bounced back from their home reverse last week to record an excellent 4-1 win over title chasing Matlock Golf Club on Campbell Street in the latest round of T & M Motors Snooker League matches.
Steve Bullock took the opening frame 74-56 and this set the tone for the contest with Mark Newby adding the next 51-37 before Paul Jarrett's ninth win in ten outings settled the issue via a very narrow 42-38 scoreline.
Graham Jones, the league's winning-most player so far this season, provided a sense of respectability to the scoreline by pulling one back for the golfers but Bullock and Newby piled on the pressure in the concluding doubles leg to end a triumphant night for the hosts.
Crich Comrades continue at the summit courtesy of a 4-1 defeat of Matlock Club with Ady Lowe and Nick Berry in excellent scoring form. Graeme Wood was on target for the visitors.
Bolehill No 1 moved second with their own 4-1 defeat of the club's No 2 team. Ricki Slack amassed 108 points for the victors whilst Ian Peacock secured the point for the vanquished, courtesy of an in off on the black.
A thrilling Open Individual Handicap quarter final saw Keith Robertson come back from 2-0 down against Graham Jones to score a deciding frame victory and move into his second semi final.

Breaks: G Jones 30,20; R Slack 25; K Robertson 24; P Jarrett 22.
