Week seven of the Spalding and District Billiards League, saw what was described as a “masterclass” of top of the table billiards from Steve Singh of Broadway.
He crafted a wonderful 97 break, just falling short of the century, and with three other breaks of 21, 28 and 54, these totalled 200 points.
Quite an achievement from a player who only took up the game about 18 months ago.
His Broadway team picked up their first win of the season with a 7-0 win against Holbeach B, who were in second place, but now drop to third.
Singh (o40) dished out the drubbing to Neil Harvey (r20), who was very complimentary of his opponent’s game.
Wole Akintola (r40), put Broadway two up with a nine-point win over Denis Hix (r40), 200-191.
Picking up his first win of the season was Paul Collicchio (r20) as he defeated Andy Spearman (r70), 200-161.

Captain James Parrott (r100) was pleased to get his first win of the season under his belt, albeit by only three points, 200-197 against Shane White.
White just found his form a little bit too late in the frame, but did have breaks of 25, 27, 32 and 37.
But Marcus Pell (o40) for the A team managed a 35-point victory over Keith Lungley (r40), who was making his debut at league billiards, to collect two points for Gosberton A.
