DIVISION 3

Newport A, who started the season really well before hitting a bad run recently continued it at home to Bayley Jnrs. Newport fielded 2 new players and by all accounts it was a good match, with Bayley Juniors picking up their first win of the season - Newport still to win a game at home! Well done Bayley. Newport really have to turn this run around

Bayley Z kept up their 100% record ,losing 3-2 to Maddocks B , Tugboat Benting lost the 1st frame 62-35 against Graham Arnold . Anthony Norway Morgan took on Jamie Howells in a very entertaining game (so i'm told !)losing on the black 45-48 . Iain Atkinson , playing in an unaccustomed 3rd place , got the better of Neil Warrender 44-33 , to give the Z's a fighting chance , the winning streak continued when Paul Rhodes won his 1st frame of the season, in another tight game against Ben Godding , keeping his nerve to win 52-47 . However, Al Francis soon brought the team back down to earth losing the final frame of the evening 71-41 against Ken Davies . The Zs would like to take this opportunity to welcome Bayley Juniors into the league , it's nice to see some new , young blood , taking part . We will endeavour to ensure that they enjoy their time & NOT finish up bottom of the league , just to give them that little bit of confidence !

DIVISION 1

Dawley A vs Bayley B. A good night of snooker, two good sets of lads having good banter. Sean Nolan up first played Phil Whitby. Both players potted well, unfortunately Sean did'nt get position on any colours after potting several good reds. Phil potted well and ran out winner by 48 points to 30. Alex Nolan then played the in form Ben Sewell. Great frame this, with Ben knocking in a 51 which looked likely to be more until he surprisingly missed a relatively easy red with a few points still left on the table. Frame score 64 - 24. Third frame Pete Nolan v Kev West. Pete went into an early lead only for Kev to come back well with some solid snooker. With just the colours remaining Kev was 22 points in front. Much to the detrement of the Telford AMATEUR snooker league the miss rule is in force in division 1 and this meant that from being in a frame winning position Kev went from 22 in front to 14 behind after Pete laid a decent snooker. Fortunately justice prevailed and Kev held is nerve to pot blue and a very good pink to win the frame 64 points to 56. Frame four Carl Walker v Craig Baugh. Carl proved too strong for the young potter and with some good solid snooker ran out comfortable winner 67 points to 3. Final frame Mark Jones v Dickie Beddall. The Dawley player was out of sorts after the events of frame 3 but managed to score enough points to beat an unlucky Dickie with a frame score of 65 points to 26. Match score Dawley A 2, Bayley B 3. Well Done to the Bayley lads.

Hadley B vs Eden A - Darren Pountney found his potting boots to put Hadley 1-0 up after a fortunate fluke early on never looked back compiling breaks of 30 and 26. Roger Lewis soon levelled the scores with a good win against Laki Badhan. Roger had taken an early lead in this one onlt for Laki to pull back and have a relatively good chance to go ahead with 2 reds left but after missing a simple red in the middle, Roger pulled away to secure the spoils. Tom Mullholland had the first 2 chances against Craig Reynolds but after not capitalising, Craig got into his usual quick flowing style and ran out easy victor, putting Eden 2-1 up. Then came a strange frame where neither player could take advantage of each others mistakes, in the end, Ken potted a black over the pocket to level the scores at 2-2. Dave Smout playing only his second frame of the season could not hold onto Richy Jones and Richy went onto win the frame comfortably and getting the win for Eden 3 frames to 2.

Maddocks E vs Broseley - Great potting from broseley all night ,fanastic break from Mick Brezwyn just missing out on a century rattling a tough red .  Next year we are playing dominoes .
