Division One.

Hadley B played hosts to the favourites for the title this season, Anstice A and took them right to the wire. Phil Dix and Keith Price battled it out in the first frame only to see Keith pull away at the end with an importnat 32 break to put Anstice 1-0 up. Ian Duffy with a solid display including a 43 break made it 2-0 defeating an out of sorts Laki Badhan. Ken Booty rekindled some of last year\'s form and calmly slotted a 32 break in to pull a frame back for Hadley B, defeating Neil Price. Tom Mulholland looked to have the frame going his way until a cruel fluke on the brown allowed Simon Yeats to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and give Anstice the all important 3rd frame. Darren Pountney, also with a 32 break comfortably beat Adam Moore to make the scoreline more respectable. Great match, good banter and well done to Anstice for their achievements this season.

Division Three.

After clinching their place in the team knockout final last week, Anstice C welcomed Bayley Juniors to Madeley looking for the 2 frames that would confirm promotion to the 2nd division. Callan Rhodes started brightly for the young guns but the experienced Chris Woods eventually wore him down to take the 1st frame for the home side. Making his debut for Bayley in the next frame was Mike Watkins, but unfortunately for him he faced the in-form Andy Elliott fresh from making a fabulous 84 break in practice, and once Andy got in front he never looked back taking the frame and in doing so, ensuring his team would be playing 2nd division snooker next term. In the 3rd frame Dan Lane played some great snooker to lead for long periods. Anstice\'s skipper Noel Hitch had to take the few chances he had to pinch the frame 59-35. In the 4th frame Paul Devey potted beautifully to create a fantastic opportunity to challenge the divisions high break. Just when he appeared to have done the hard work, he snookered himself on the final red with all the colours on their spots, but his 37 was good enough to make it 4-0. In the final frame it was Bayleys Ryan Shervey who opened up with a lovely 24 break to storm in front. Danny Weaver battled back to edge in front until, when just requiring one snooker with pink & black left, Ryan unluckily potted the pink. It was unfortunate for Ryan and his team as they have definitely improved throughout the season, and Im sure it won\'t be too long before they are challenging at the other end of the table themselves. As news of the other results filtered through, the five frames tonight proved enough to crown Anstice C as champions in their first season. Well done chaps, its been a great team effort.
