Things had been very different earlier in the week when the Golf Club, on their own turf, scored a whitewash victory over the same opposition.

Tony Blant (29), Les Mooney (28) and Ian McKay (27) were all amongst the breaks as the home side soon reeled off the early frames and Graham Jones came from well adrift to seal the deal in the next before Blant and McKay teamed up to complete the nap hand thanks to a black ball win.

Elsewhere, Belper Strutt Club edged out Alfreton Palmer Morewood for second place thanks to a 4-1 home win over that very opposition, with Wayne Shooter and Paul Jarrett top scoring before Des and John Smith offered some belated resistance in the doubles.

Bolehill No 1 also make the play offs with a 4-1 defeat of visitors Crich No 2, Ricki Slack fluking a deciding black in the singles and then potting a long deciding black in the doubles whilst Ady Lowe registered for the Tramwaymen.

Bolehill No 2 won the all-masked encounter at Crich No 1 with Kevin Munnelly and Ketih Robertson taking the decisive doubles leg after Cliff Gould had levelled things up at 2-2 for the hosts.

Ben Monk and Simon Mays saw off team mates Tom Broughton and Des Smith in the Denis Morton (Pairs Handicap) Cup thanks largely to eight breaks of 20+, with six for Ben and two for Simon.

And in another battle of team-mates, Nick Berry defeated fellow Crich Comrades cueman Ade Smith 3-1 to lift the "B" Individual Cup for the second time in three seasons, Ade having been the winner last year!
