Division One.

 Good game where the Bayley lads managed to just nick a couple of frames on the Black. Highlight of the night was Matt\'s 93 break in the first frame from nowhere. After running out of position a couple of times his recovery shots were superb. Kev cleared from green to black to force a re-spot. After winning the toss and putting Aaron in Kev was surprised to see the black hanging over the middle bag and took the frame. Craig and Angus had a cracking game and by Angus\'s own admission the score didn\'t really reflect the game. There was only a point in it before Angus laid a really tough snooker which cost Craig 20 points in \"misses\". Angus cleared the majority of the colours to leave Craig with no way back. Ben found himself 30 down to Lynsay after a couple of visits but clawed his way back in with a really good 35 knock. Lynsay again dug in and with a real quality snooker which ben missed 6 times he found himself 20 in front with just the colours remaining. Ben got a sniff and cleared up to take the frame on the Black. John Fallows was to good for the out of sorts Danny Oliver in the last and with the aid of some great long pots and a couple of good 25+ breaks won the frame with 2 reds remaining. Fair result on the balance of play and im sure the Bayley lads would have settlet for this before the night

The first frame was a long and very high scoring encounter ending when keith Price cleared the last four balls to win on the black. Mick Brezwyn made it all square with a solid performance against Ian Duffy. Simon Mcleod made the early running in frame three - Neil Price gradually built momentum closing the game out when he potted the brown. Neil Caswell and Simon had the third close frame out of four before Simon edged it on the pink. Adam Moore compiled a very nice break of 65 taking the last 9 reds with colours to secure another win for the champions elect.

Division Three

 Bayley Q vs Newport A. Newport A had travelled to the Bayley expecting a tough match as normally transpires between these two sides, however they had not expected some of the Bayley Q players to be sporting some dodgy looking moustaches (for Movember, a campaign to raise awareness of men\'s cancer issues). Frame 1 saw Chris Fletcher taking on Rushpal Bassi, with neither player getting their potting going, it was Rushpal who played the better safety to win the first 44-29 for Newport. Frame 2 saw Chris Durham vs Wai Loon Loo, with Chris losing in their previous meeting (when clean shaven), it was Chris who came out of the blocks the quickest with some assured potting. Wai Loon Loo then found his stride with some good potting and clever safety of his own to come from a long way back needing brown onwards to force a re-spot. He managed the brown, but Chris replied with the blue, an unlucky fluke on the pink for Wai Loon Loo meant Chris won 57-47 by a close shave. Frame 3 continued in the Bayley\'s favour as Lee Newton got back to winning ways taking the frame 67-25 against Harry Bassi. Frame 4, could Steve Weatherall emulate his Movember colleague (Chris Durham) against Mark Hebden. Both players exchanged scores and fouls in the early stages with Steve slightly in the lead going into the colours. After some safety exchanges and snookers with Steve growing (faster than his moustache) in confidence, he took from yellow to blue to wrap up the frame 60-26. Frame 5 saw Rich Tranter take on the aptly named Mokesh Mehmi, with Rich carrying over his confidence from last week, plus some very unlucky rub of the green for Mokesh, Rich came out the victor 66-23 to the delight of the Bayley Q spectators (Rob Cook, John Tranter, and John \"here we Mo again\" Styles). A final word of praise has to go to Newport who battled well (despite being forced to change their line up each week) and came off 4-1 down in a slightly harsh scoreline for them on the night.

A match which wasnt expected from our point of view. Bayley D playing well and joint top of league 3 gave us what can only be said as a kick up the ass as we were lagging behind in the lower league, even though we were only 4 points behind (very tight to say the least. Cant believe we won this game with some very good players to beat. The final frame became the nail biter with Chris Gifford & Jim Lewis taking the game to the wire, with Chris coming out on top by only 3 points, coming from behind to pot the blue, pink & black for the victorious win. I bet the Anstice will be happy as long as they won too.....??

Thanks to the teams that sent in the reports.
