EDGEFOLD TAKE THRILLER TO EARN A SECOND VICTORY

JAMES TRAVIS was in winning form for EDGEFOLD CLUB
CRICH No 1 and Edgefold Club served up the  thriller of the week in round six of T & M Motors Snooker League matches with the Matlock team taking the spoils on the deciding black for a hard fought 3-2 success.
Paul Trevett put the Tramwaymen ahead courtesy of a 59-51 verdict in the opener and when their experienced campaigner John Smith made it 2-0 soon afterwards, things were looking decidedly rosy for the home side.
But James Travis and then Sam Lavelle scored convincing successes to leave everything on the final doubles leg and Travis again came to the fore, teaming up with Rob Muxlow for a cliff-hanging 51-49 victory.

Elsewhere Bolehill No 1 defeated Matlock Golf Club 4-1 with Ricki Slack clearing the colours to edge out Tony Blant 67-64 in a battle of two hitherto undefeated cuemen  and Ian Birks scoring heavily in the next. Les Mooney was on target for the Golfers.
Belper Strutt Club therefore moved four points clear after their 5-0 clean sweep over Whitworth Institute with Mark Newby top scoring.

Alfreton Palmer Morewood defeated Bolehill No 2 3-2 with Andrew Haggarty making the win a certainty in frame three before the home team hit back with Mick Bunting taking his singles and doubles legs.

And Matlock Club continued their tidy start to the season with a 4-1 defeat of Crich No 2. Paul Bryan and Ady Lowe top scored respectively.
