Third Division.

Bayley Q vs Bayley Juniors. \"A rolling stone gathers no moss\" which was true of Bayley Q\'s first player Jimmy Langley who had made the move across from the Juniors since last season. Jimmy was on fire as he went round the table with the moves like Jagger, with both 20 and 21 breaks on route to defeating an unlucky Mike Watkins who never got the chance to show the improvement in his game. Frame 2 saw Chris Durham take on Daniel Ballard, with Dan putting down some good potting to open up a comfortable lead. Dan then added some of his trademark tactical snookers, but Chris was equal to it with some impressive get outs. This allowed Chris to make a comeback taking it to the pink before Dan clinched frame 2. Frame 3 with Lee Newton vs Dan (happy feet) Lane, where Lee was in fine form preventing Dan from producing the moves to match his impressive festive penguin jumper, allowing Lee to put the home side 2-1 up. Frame 4 matched up Steve Weatherall against Ryan Dudley with both players equal blow for blow in a sustained safety exchange, it was Steve that added some potting to go on and win the frame. Frame 5 saw Noel Hitch vs Tom Mulholland, with Tom also gathering no moss as he took part in the 3rd different team plus division in as many seasons. A good battle followed but a 22 break from Tom along with a crucial foul on the pink for his opponent left Noel as the one who could get no satisfaction on the night. The win for Tom pulled a frame back but the 3-2 score line ended up in Bayley Q\'s favour.

A good close match between Shifnal and Maddocks could have gone either way. Terry and Maj opened up, with Maj having the chance to pinch the frame by taking the last four colours, only to foul on the black. Mark and Neil then had a close second frame, with Neil unusually missing some balls and Mark potting well to take a 2-0 lead. Jamie pulled one back against Mokesh with a comfortable win and a nice 27 break. James equalised beating an out of sorts Geoff. Brian and Ben then had a great last frame with some really nice safety, Brian edging the frame for a 3-2 win. A good result for Shifnal and a good comeback from Maddocks
