TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 4th October 2006

The report starts in the first division again this week, due to the sparse amount of cards sent in. Minnesota Fats B go two points clear after beating the Shifnal A side at the Minnesota club. Ian Duffy won a close game against John Fallows 61-54, but that was as close as Shifnal came to getting a second point, with only Angus Way having a comfortable win over Paul Smith. Broseley A, although with home advantage, only managed a 3-2 win over newcomers to this division, Bayley F. Tom Maxfield and Richie Hulme took the first two opening frames before Broseley turned the match into victory for themselves by winning the last thee frames.

Anstice D move one place above Maddocks A, after their match with Dawley A, at the Anstice club. Andy Elliot had a 34 break in his win over Pete Nolan but the usually reliable Rick Bailey is still struggling to find form, and is still waiting for his first win of the season. Little Dawley A are finally up and running with a good win against Maddocks A, only winners for Maddocks were Ian Skelton and Leigh France, who had a 31 break in his frame.

Shifnal B move off the bottom spot after securing a 3-2 victory over the Bayley A side. Opening for Shifnal was Matt Davies who compiled a 70 break against Arthur Burrows in the first frame. Aaron Sparkes took the second frame before Steve Fletcher stopped the rot with a close win over Dave Peplow 51-44. Bob Mason levelled the match by beating Rob Wright in another close game, 47-41, before Nigel Stallard won the final frame, and the match by beating Martin Hodson 56-32.

Bayley E, playing at home, sent Anstice C to the bottom of the division, with a 4-1 victory. Darren Wilkie was the only winner for the Anstice C side, but with two of their hardest matches out of the way will soon be back to winning ways.


Second Division

Maddocks C continued to make great progress towards a quick return to Division 1 with a 5-0 win over Shifnal F, who could only field 4 players, and lose a point as a result of this. Darren Wincott continued his 100 % start to the second division with a solid display against John Briscoe winning 66-25. Steve Hassack also continued his unbeaten run and managed to beat Gary Love impressively 65-14. Joe Oliver celebrating his birthday won the match for the Ironmen on the blue 64-38. The final frame of the night was between Jimmy Hill and Chris Painter both undefeated this season. After a close frame, Jim Hill finally wrapped the whitewash up for Maddocks and continued the impressive start for the Oakengates men.

Audco A hold second spot after gaining a 4-1 win over Minnesota Fats G side at Minnesota. Craig Davies was the only winner for the Minnesota side with a hard fought win over Andy Phelan. Bayley D are now in third place after their home win playing the 2nd Club A side, and gaining a 3-2 win. These are the only matches to report as no other cards have been sent in for Division 2.


Third Division

The clash at the top of this division this week saw Dawley B at home to top of the table, Anstice B. Dawley B took the first four frames with Noel Stones for Anstice being the only player to rescue a point from the match. Noel recorded a 28 break in his win over Alex Jones. Maddocks D move into third place when they played the new side, Audco B. This match went to the wire with M. Wainwright for Maddocks, taking the deciding frame 62-22 whilst playing C. Hughes.

Shifnal D had a 3-2 home win when they played Comrades A. Newport B moved up one place in the table although losing at home 3-2 to the Bayley Q side. This again will be a false reflection to the placings due to the shortage of cards sent in this week.Nigel.Stallard@telfordsnooker.com
