TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 29th September 2004

During this weeks snooker Anstice A played host to Little Dawley A. It was a very close match with Anstice A winning by three frames to two. Young Jamie Fallows recorded a 42 break against Sean Harris to give the Dawley side a good start and Lee Elcock almost followed suit, only to lose on a re-spotted black to Ian Duffy.

Keith Price then beat Jesse Lowe to make it 2-1 and in the next frame Keith’s brother Neil, lost to Ade Henry making the scores level. The last frame was decided when Nick Oakley beat Darren Pountney to take the match. So Anstice A, still unbeaten to date, have not yet stamped their usual authority over the first division.

Shifnal A were at home to Wellington Billiard Hall A and won 3-2. with Graham Darrell and Alan Turner recording the points for the Wellington side.

Meanwhile, Shifnal B acquitted themselves very well at Broseley, where they came away with two points from the match. Matt Davies winning for Shifnal, alongside Chris Petford who won by a single point against the very useful Simon McLeod.

Maddocks A, at home to Bayley E secured four points, one of those being claimed due to Bayley E being one player short. Darren Wincott cleared from the yellow in his frame to beat Steve Hoof. Ian Eldridge lost to Andy O’Brien while teammate Ian Skelton won comfortably against D. France. Phil Davies started slowly but potted well to beat John Squires.

Minnesota fats A who thankfully stepped in for the Codden A side, are finding it tough in this division but managed to take two points in their match at home to Codden B.

In the second division Bayley A gained a 4-1 win over Dawley Social B, with Kev Jones being the only winner for his the Dawley side.

In the local derby Maddocks B playing against Maddocks C saw two of our more established players matching each other in the first frame.

Wally Harper and Neville Whitehead who used to play together at St. Georges, but now rivals at Maddocks, enjoyed a high scoring game with Wally Harper gaining the first point for Maddocks B.

Nigel White in his second season for Maddocks B, met the ever-consistent Colin Smith, who had a comfortable win over Nigel. Steve Pritchard beat Dave Thomas making it 2-1 for Maddocks B. In the next frame one of my old teammates Les Hicks, still playing good snooker, beat the reliable Jim Hill, A good win for Les. John Archer lost in a close match against Graham Hoof 48 points to 40, leaving Maddock B winning by the match by one point.

Maddocks D, who were away to Bayley F, found their opponents too strong and lost 4-1 the only winner for Maddocks being Brendan Wincott. Young Tom Maxfield, a player to watch for the future had a fine 43 break in his match with Roy Adams.

Codden C were at home to the Second club Trench and won the match 4-1.

It was the first frame that gave the Second club their point when N. Holmes beat M. Bothwell by a single point. Unfortunately for the Second club it was all downhill after that frame.

Little Dawley Social G at home to Shifnal F played a very close match and came out 3-2 winners.

The last result this week for the second division saw Minnesota G losing 4-1 at home to Anstice C.

All of the results in the third division ended up in 4-1, except for the match between the Wellington Billiard Hall B who were playing Little Dawley J.

Wellington had a 5-0 win, a super result for the Wellington B Side who like lots of sides in our league, form the back bone of the league, always turning up, but not always, if ever sharing the spoils of the season!

Another local derby match saw Little Dawley B lose to their X side by four points to one.

Apart from Phil Padmore all of the games were very closely fought, although the score line looked formidable for the Dawley X side.

Bayley B who were at home to Minnesota C lost 4-1 whilst their fellow team Bayley D had the same score line but in there favour against Hadley A, at Hadley.

Shifnal D, current leaders of division three had comfortable win over Newport B. also with a score line of 4-1.
