Division
One.
Another
night and another player enlisted into the ranks for the
Dawley side !! High scoring first two frames saw Dawley take a
2-0 lead as Callum Wraight beat John Banks in a close frame
that saw Callum take the frame on the colours 89-60. An even
closer second frame saw Sean Nolan beat Simon McLeod on a
re-spotted black, frame score 59-52. Frame three had them
falling asleep in the aisles as Mark Jones played Mick Brezwyn.
A drab frame with both players struggling badly. With Mick 16
points in front with the last four colours remaining Mark
pressed the memory recall button and cleared the lot to pinch
victory from the jaws of defeat. That gave Dawley the match
win but up next was Pete Nolan v Tom Maxfield. After two swift
visits Tom was well clear after knocks of 36 and 32. Game
over, frame score 71-2. Final frame: Yet another \'on the
night signing\' for Dawley as Paddy McDowell cleaned 15 years
of dust of his cue to make up the numbers for Dawley. And it
told as Tony Watkins played well to give Broseley another
point on the board with a frame score 60 to 8. Match score
Dawley 3, Broseley 2.
Division
Two.
With
the bottom half of the 2nd division getting tighter by the
second, only 3 frames separated 6th placed Newport and their
hosts, bottom of the table Bayley. It was the visitors Craig
Davies who took the first frame 66-26 v the unfortunate Rob
Cook, who took a big chunk out of his tip minutes before the
match. When Wayne Weeks clinched the next frame 59-33 against
Chris Durham it looked very good for the Newport side. However
they hadn\'t reckoned on the Cue teams recent form as they had
turned a 0-2 deficit into a 3-2 win in both of their last 2
league games. Firstly Steve Weatherall pulled a frame back
winning 47-7 v Allan Davies. Lee Newton continued the
fightback 70-31 v Steve Speake levelling the match. A tense
final frame ensued and it was home skipper Noel Hitch who came
out on top 57-32 v Les Stirling to continue the remarkable run
for at least another week.
