DIVISION TWO

 Hadley B maintained their early momentum with a win over Dawley B. Laki Badhan  got off to an impressive start with a good display of potting, but vintage performances from Wally Harper and Doug Morrey soon reversed the tables and put Dawley in the driving seat. Barry Roden seemed to have the match won for Dawley with the simplist of pinks but managed to wobble it and Dave Smout snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to set up a decider. Darren Pountney  took the last from Liam Goodman to give Hadley and a narrow escape.

 A tight match ensued at Eden A with the first frame won by Mick Reynolds to edge out Chris Painter of Shifnal F. Dean Harris went 30 behind early on and battled back but Rob Wright kept his calm to level the scores. The next two frames were shared courtesy of Dave Peplow and Steve Powell to take the match to a decider. In another tight affair Eden’s Richy Jones, re-appearing after a 12 year lay off, got the better of John Briscoe to earn a 3-2 win for Eden.

 DIV ONE

 Maddocks C entertained Coddon A this week and in a match that could have gone either way Coddon eventually ran out 3-2 winners. Darren Millward won the opener against Mark Wall followed by a win for Steve Downes over Steve Hassack  in a game full of misses to draw level. The next two were also shared with Joe Oliver for the home side and Tony Garmson for Coddon. Nick Pearce stepped up to take the match in the deciding frame against Graham Hoof.

 Little Dawley A made it a brace of 4-1 victories to get their season off to an excellent start, this week Bayley F being the victims.  Simon Evans and Matt Bailey never looked in danger and when Lee Elcock also claimed the third frame with a more competitive win over the unlucky Alan Turner it looked grim for the Bayley side.  Veteran Mick Hughes tried his best to squander a lead which lasted all the way to a re-spotted black but held his nerve and got one on the board for the home side but the pain relief wasn’t long lived as Ade Henry claimed the last for another emphatic victory.

 Other Results: Shifnal B 3 (Mat Davies, Angus Way, Nigel Stallard) Broseley A 2 (Rob Dubicki, Mick Brezwyn); LDS G 3 (Rob Withington, Tom Bell, Roy Leneveu) Bayley E 2 (Andy O'Brien, John Squire); Coddon B 1 (Neil Pearson) Maddocks A 4 (Ian Eldridge, Phil Davies, Ian Skelton, Leigh France); Dawley A 3 (Carl Walker, Pete Nolan, Mark Jones) Anstice A 2 (Neil Price, Ian Duffy).

 DIV THREE

 A scrappy start to the match between Dawley C and Bayley Q but three wins for the home side thanks to the battling qualities of Chris Gifford, Andy Elliot and Sean Cross got the Dawley lads an early win in the bag. The Bayley side fought back as Andy Shaw found Steve Weatherall too strong and the best game was saved for last as Luke Edwards was in great potting form to beat Rob Cook and earn a 4-1 win.

 Breaks of 30 and 41 for Dave Dudley and Craig Whitehead saw Bayley D take the lead over Allscott but John Shelvock responded for the visitors. Dave Williams took the fourth to secure the win for the Bayley side before captain Dave Finney earnt Allscott a second point.
