TELFORD SNOOKER LEAGUE

Match Report - 9th April 2008

After an exciting finish to this season, Broseley A have become champions of the first division. Broseley were away to Dawley A, and took a 4-0 lead until Mark Jones took a point in the last frame to defeat Neil Caswell.

Shifnal B gained second place, and finished one point behind Broseley. Shifnal won 5-0 in style at the Bayley club, when they beat the Bayley E side. Matt Davies produced yet another break, this time it was a 62 against Ali Jones.

Minnesota B had to settle for third spot this season, and they finished their campaign with a 4-1 win at home to Maddocks C who have acquitted themselves well in their debut into this division.

Anstice A at home to the little Dawley A side, stopped Little Dawley from continuing their good late run with a 4-1 defeat. Ade Henry took the opening frame for the Little Dawley side, but that was the sum total on the evening, although the frames were quite close.

Maddocks A at home to Audco A, played some cracking snooker, and took all five points from the Audco side. Audco started the season well but finished by only taking four points from their last five matches, and this defeat may have sent Audco back to the second division.

Bayley A and Bayley F played a local derby match and the Bayley A lads pulled off a 3-2 win and secured first division snooker for themselves next season.


Second Division

Coddon A have won the second division title, and did it in style with a 5-0 win to end their season, when they played at home to Minnesota Fats G.

Double celebrations for the Coddon club, as the Coddon C side, although losing 3-2 to Maddocks B at Maddocks, also go up to the first division. Maddocks B have consolidated their position in this division, and will look forward to getting further up the table next season, well done to them. Congratulations to Les Hicks, eighty seven last week, and still knocking them in, although Les lost by one point on the black in his game with Mark Tusel.

Second Club A finished joint third with Shifnal F. The Second Club A lost 3-2 at home to Dawley B, while Shifnal F had a 3-2 win at home to Minnesota Fats A.

Bayley D and Bayley B was another other local derby match, and this result went to the Bayley D side 3-2 which saw both teams end up on level points at the end of the season.


Third Division

Audco C go up a division next season, provided they and the other Audco teams secure a venue to play from. Audco C, at home, lost 3-2 to the Maddocks D side this week, but it didn’t affect their comfortable success of wining this title. The opening frame of this match went to newcomer, this season anyway, Cheryl Caswell, who is a formidable opponent. In a very high scoring frame which went 72-62 to Cheryl, she had breaks of 22 and 37, so adding her name onto the highest breaks sheet.

Comrades A, who have played from the Shifnal club this season, won their last match away from home 3-2, playing against Audco B. The Comrades will also be promoted to the second division next season. Bayley Q have had a good season, and after beating Little Dawley B 4-1 they will be finishing mid-table. The team will be pleased with their overall performance this time around, and perhaps get even closer to promotion next season. Congratulations go to Chris Durham who after thirteen years of trying has managed to win the team's trophy for most wins !

Anstice B will probably be a little disappointed with their season finishing third. Anstice were away to rock bottom Newport B, and did come away with a 3-2 win from the Newport side, who haven’t found much form at all in this years campaign.

Hadley A were at home to Shifnal D and although winning the first frame Hadley went on to lose the match 4-1.
