EDGEFOLD No1 FIRST TEAM THROUGH IN CAPTAINS CUP

KEITH GREGORY...breaks of 35 & 30

WITH the Six Red Cup final put back for a week due to team unavailability, there were just two matches taking centre stage with a re-arranged all-Alfreton clash in the T & M Motors Snooker League and the second round of the Captains Cup between Edgefold No 1 and Bolehill Institute which was brought forward.
The clash between Palmer Morewood No 1 and No 3 teams saw Ryan Taylor give the former an early advantage before Jack Lowe edged a tight second frame on the black to level.
Dale Shaw then put his side ahead for the first time but again things were squared up with a victory for John Smith in the next.
But in a tense final frame, it was the Lowes, Ady and Jack who took a gritty 41-33 success to give the No 3 outfit the bragging rights as they moved back into third place in the standings.
Meanwhile the cup tie saw Colin Marchington giving Bolehill an early 19pt lead despite Jamie Wright, who was guesting from the No2 team, having earlier scored a fine break of 27.
Duncan Harwood however cancelled that out in the next before Keith Robertson again nudged the visitors in front with a 65-47 verdict.
However, Sean Dobney secured the win for the Matlock cuemen by taking the next 77-26 and then teaming up with Harwood for a 96-3 romp in the concluding doubles leg, with runs of 24 and 22.
In the "B" Individual Handicap competition, the aforementioned John Smith had a 32 break en route to reaching the semi final.
The Elliott Carpet Billiards League featured two tight games with Bolehill Institute defeating Mayfield Institute 12-11 despite a sparkling display from Keith Gregory with runs of 35 and 30 whilst Whitworth Institute edged out Tansley Potters by the same scoreline with Jim McCann hitting 36.
