Division One.

In division one this week Broseley entertained the Shifnal B side with John Banks beating Aaron Sparkes to take the first frame. Mick Brezwyn, up second, then lost to Matt Davies before Simon McLeod restored the lead for Broseley. In a close frame, Graeme long just lost out to Lindsay Knox, and the deciding frame was taken for the Shifnal side by John Fallows, including a forty break over Neil Caswell.

Division Two.

  Coddon C were back to winning ways this week with a very close match against Shifnal A. There were three games decided on a black ball finish. The first frame saw a good battle and some great potting from both players, Ritchie Davies having a 20 break, but it was Garry Owen who won the frame with an excellent 22 clearance. Garry is producing some great snooker after a slow start to the season. Mick Stokes must have thought he had won the 2nd frame after being 20 points clear early in the frame, but Mark Wordsell came back to take the frame on the black by 2 points. In the 3rd frame Andy Carson beat Ollie Wall. In the 4th Mark Tusel played well, and had an 18 break on his way to a good victory over Steve Jones. In the decider it was home captain Matt Bothwell against Mark Jones, and although Matt struggled for most of the frame he managed to win it with the help of an 18 clearance in a scrappy frame.

 Ben Sewell played solid snooker against Richie Heighway, with some good long pots, eventually winning on the Blue. Tom Mulholland was in good form against the unlucky Pete Clarke, who just couldn’t get in against Tom. Tom had a couple of nice 20 plus breaks to win before the colours. The frame between Kev West and Colin Gittus was a match littered with  loads of in off's, moments of madness, and moments of brilliance. Kev found himself 25 up with 27 left on, and managed to win the frame on the blue. Frame of the night was between Danny Oliver and his nemesis Sam Drake. Danny got in early and after two solid breaks found himself 41 in front. Sam had hardly got a look in before Danny missed a routine red with the rest, and Sam got in with a 25 which was closely followed by another 16 to bring him back in it. Danny thought he had it won after a good long yellow, but after missing an easy green, Sam potted the green, brown and blue to leave the scores level 46-46. A great snooker from Sam left Danny in trouble and although he escaped Sam potted a great long pink and landed perfect on the Black, which he potted to take the frame 59-46, a  great game! Dickie Beddall rolled back the years and potted like a demon against Chris Lawson, who by his own admission wasn’t at his normal flowing best. Dickie got a fortunate snooker on the blue, and after Chris missed and left the blue on, Dickie took the frame 60-37. Good match, which Bayley took 4-1

 Division Three

 Bayley Q versus Dawley C started with the contrasting styles of play of Rob Cook and Chris Gifford, but they remained deadlocked up to the colours when Chris was amazed to have angled Rob on the blue, however Rob who learns quicker than he plays, angled Chris back on the deciding black to take the first frame for the Bayley 54 - 48. Dawley's Jamie Mills showed a touch of class to capitalise on an out of sorts Chris Durham, to level at 1-1. Next saw the battle of the quick potters with Sean Cross getting the 2 snookers he required on the blue, but it was not enough as Lee Newton wrapped up the frame 59-44 to put Bayley ahead. At this point Dawley seemed concerned that the match would not finish in time for next Wednesday's fixtures, as a scrappy frame took place between Luke Edwards and Steve Weatherall, with Steve potting the final black to secure a win for the Bayley. The final frame saw Chris Fletcher who nipped and tucked away at a large lead built up by Andy Shaw, but Andy won this on the final black, leaving the score line 3-2 in Bayley's favour.

 Footnote from the League Secretary.

In spite of the new website, texts from mobile phones, or even emails, this has been the poorest season that I can remember for sometime, where teams are not bothering to get their results in to the league in time for publication.

Please put a little more effort in chaps, thanks, Alan.
