| Although a long way to go yet, the tables are beginning
to take shape and current leaders of this division are Minnesota
Fats B, who secured a 4-1 win playing Anstice C, at the Anstice
club. John Jones for the Anstice will be well pleased with
his close win over ex-club mate Keith Price 65-57. Broseley
A, last seasons champions faced a tough match at Shifnal but
managed a 3-2 victory over the Shifnal A side. New signing
J Banks opened his account with a 70-30 score line over John
Fallows and no doubt Broseley will be pleased with this result.
Maddocks A were at home to Shifnal B and recorded a 3-2 win.
Phil Davis who started the season well came up against Mathew
Davies, but was never at the races and "Matty" polished
Phil off 74-24 including a 58 break. Ian Skelton was too good
for Ray Evans, who doesn’t’ seem to play too often
these days, and Ian made a 37 break in his frame. Leigh France,
who had all the run of the ball, beat Aaron Sparkes, and then,
Dave France who was going well played a bad brown and watched
Rob Wright clear up to take the frame on the black ball. Les
Stirling, new this season for Maddocks A, won his frame on
a re-spotted black to win 52-45 against Nigel Stallard.

Second Division
At the top of the second division this week sits recently
relegated Maddocks C, who look determined to get straight
back into to top flight, and this report was kindly sent in
by Jim Hill. Mick Egan started the balls rolling for Minnesota
in the local derby and potted some good shots against Danny
Bedworth who found it hard to find his form, and the home
side took advantage to go ahead. (55-40). Neil Pearson then
took on Steve Hassack but never had a look in as Steve controlled
the game with two mid twenty breaks, and won with a red remaining
(19-60).
Jim Hill then played a mistake ridden game against Mick Pearson
and only just managed to get over the line to keep his 100%
record going (31-61). Another Maddocks man looking to go unbeaten
was Darren Wincott who gave Kirk Stevenson little chance with
some great play to take the match for the Ironmen (15-62).

Oliver. Phil was playing well but caught Joe back to his near
best, the Maddocks man put in his top performance of the season
so far to take the fixture for the away team 4-1.
