BOLEHILL AND TANSLEY TAKE BLACK BALL THRILLERS

COLIN MARCHINGTON
TWO MATCHES went down to the final black in the second round of T & M Motors Snooker League matches with Bolehill Institute gaining their first victory of the season courtesy of their 3-2 defeat of Belper Strutt Club.
Colin Marchington put the hosts ahead with a 63-28 success and soon afterwards Ricki Slack made it two with a 68-37 scoreline.
Two tight frames ensued thereafter, and each went the way of the visitors as Paul Jarrett and Wayne Shooter each emerged victorious on the pink to level things up.
And it looked like Strutt had staged a marvellous fightback when Jarrett's attempt at a match winning pink headed towards the middle pocket in the deciding doubles leg, yet it rolled agonising all around the lip before Slack stepped in to take the remaining two balls in a thrilling contest.

Also taking the spoils on the very last ball were Tansley Potters who also prevailed 3-2 at Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 1 with Joe Neville and Gray Astle sealing the deal 50-47 in a match which swung back and forth. Neville had earlier put the visitors 2-1 up before Guy Taylor equalised.

Matlock Golf Club defeated Edgefold No 1 4-1 with Les Mooney top scoring for the hosts and Steven Clark on target for the visitors.

Edgefold No 2 also prevailed 4-1, with Rob Muxlow (93 points haul) leading the way whilst Rob Mullis maintained his unbeaten run for the Tramwaymen..

And triumphant were Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 2 who defeated their No 3 team 4-1, Ant McMahon was in winning form for the Amber Valley cuemen while Jack Lowe was the sole victor for the vanquished.

In the Elliott Carpets Billiards League, Jim McCann was off to a flying start with runs of 57, 40 and 30 as Whitworth Institute saw off Bolehill Institute 14-7 in the opening match.
