The final week of the Spalding and District Snooker League season was one to remember for Pyramid F’s Mark Gray as his team were crowned Division One champions and he chalked up an incredible 132 clearance.
Consti E’s Simon Law (scr) broke before Gray (o98) took to the table and knocked in the impressive break.
His win, along with victories from Pete Hodgson-Kerry (o21), Ian Gibson (r7) and Carl Gibson (o28) sealed a 5-1 win over Consti and handed them the division title.
Second place went to clubmates Pyramid C who lost their final match 4-2 to Holbeach C who finished bottom and will be relegated to Division Two.
Holbeach’s winners were Nick Edwards (r14), Dan Ashton (o7) and Paul Ashton (r14).
They had a late push, also winning a rearranged game against Consti E 5-1, but it was too little, too late.
A 4-2 win over Pyramid D, along with a victory over Consti G in a rearranged match, pushed Services A up three places to finish the season in third place.
Jake Haslam (o14), Chris Dunmore (o42) and Martin Spencer (o28) got the wins for Services against the E team, while Vince Fitter (o42), Phil Spencer (o14) and Haslam were winners against the G team.
Boundary A finished in fourth place after a 4-2 win over Services D, who look likely to go down a division.

Andy Mowforth (o14) put Boundary 2-1 up but Ian Smith (r7) levelled the scoreline, leaving Russ Morse (scr) and Steve Smith (r21) to play the decider with Smith coming out on top.
Along with Holbeach C, and Services D, Services C are also in danger of relegation, depending on the number of teams entering the league next season.

A 4-2 win for Donington A over Holbeach F wasn’t enough for them to avoid the drop, finishing bottom of the table.
Nigel Brasier (o28), Tony Scully (o42) and Kevin Hawes (o14) were the winners.
