| LES MOONEY |
Les Mooney with his seventh win in nine outings cruised to a 62-3 success in the opener before Wayne Shooter, also enjoying an excellent season so far, equalised after a tight encounter for 1-1.
Graham Jones then edged the next on the black for 2-1 despite Paul Jarrett's run of 27 and Chris Parker sealed the deal with a 53-33 verdict in the fourth before the Golfers landed the pairs leg to complete a great nights work.
Leaders Alfreton Palmer Morewood No 2 went 3-0 up over their No 1 team with Ben Monk and Andrew Beardsley both scrambling home on the black after Kyle Ryde set the tone with a break of 31 but the underdogs fought back strongly with John Smith taking his singles and doubles legs, in which Phil Longden notched a run of 24.
Bolehill Institute defeated Alfreton No 3 4-1 with Graeme Wood putting the visitors ahead early doors but the hosts fighting back strongly to assert with Ricki Slack top scoring after an almost 40pt turnaround on the last red with several snookers involved.
Tansley Potters kept up their momentum with a 3-2 home win over Crich Comrades, which saw Joe Neville and Ade Smith top scoring. Both teams were a man down which meant the Gray Astle v Ade Smith match-up was on show again in frame four but this time it was Astle who held sway on the final black.
And in the battle of the two Edgefold teams, the No 1 team completed the double but only narrowly 3-2 after a hard-fought battle which saw the No 2 team strike first through Steve Burton who had breaks of 39 and 23 in the opener.
Sean Dobney (21 break) equalised and eventually teamed up with James Travis to take the deciding pairs leg 66-36.
In the billiards pairs final, Ricki Slack and Andrew Brough will meet Jim McCann and Rob Lowe after each won their keenly contested semi finals recently.
