In the first division this week, after a reasonable start to the season, Maddocks c were brought down to earth when visitors and titleholders, Anstice a trounced them 5-0.

Anstices’ Ian Duffy went in to bat first, and was soon up to his old tricks by clocking in a 47 break. That should have been more but Ian missed a reasonable black to make it a half-century. It gave little heart to his opponent, young Tommy Hanson who went down 94-9.

Jamie Fallows followed suit when a late 31 break helped him to secure his frame against Jim Hill 65-25.

Keith price then wrapped up his win when he forced his foe, Nev Whitehead, to require a snooker on the colours which failed to materialise, and was beaten 58-22.

Usually you can rely on Joe Oliver to come up with the goods, but it was not to be as a series of missed chances gave Si Yeats the fillip to capitalise on them, and a 22 break helped him secure a fourth point winning 69-24.

New signing for the foundry men, Steve Hassock, did well considering it was his first game on home ground, but just lost out when an in off pink cost him the frame against Ritchie Wade.

New signing, Paul Harper, (who many of you will remember), was beaten by Chris Painter 65-41, but I’m sure Paul will be glad to be back playing in the league again.
