Consti are still top of the Spalding and District Billiards League, after a unusual 4½-2½ win against Gosberton B.
The strange score was because Consti won two frames to Gosberton’s one but the total aggregate was the same, meaning the bonus aggregate point was shared.
Winning by only five was Mick Johnson (o60) for Consti against James Parrott (r90), with breaks of 33, 30, 30 and 22. Levelling the match was Jamie Mumby (r60) when he defeated John Bellerby (r110) 200-156. Consti held out as Stewart Davies (r20) won against Paolo Gensiorskyj (r50). Davies had a 26 break to continue his undefeated record.
Moving in to second place are Holbeach B, after a maximum 7-0 win two weeks running. In a late game last week they defeated Gosberton A, with Andy Spearman hitting a fine 31 break and some excellent potting. On the end of this week’s defeat were reigning champions Donington B. Spearman (r70) again led the charge with a 200-115 win against Mick Pearl (r20). Neil Harvey (r40), put Holbeach two up with a 45-point win against Neil Reynolds (o80), despite two 30 breaks from Reynolds who had been unbeaten. Denis Hix (r60) wrapped up a great night for Holbeach with a 200-144 win against Jason Bloomfield (r50).
Pyramid A retain third place, despite a 5-2 loss at home to unbeaten Donington A. The first two games were won by only two points, so it could have swung either way, but Donington’s Tony Scully (r20), just pipped John Twell (r40). John Clapton (r110) brought Pyramid level by edging out Nigel Brasier (r50). With all to play for, it was Jim Thompson (r90) for Donington who had won 200-111 against Reegan Cooke-Holmes (r60).
The match between Holbeach A and Pyramid B was another match where the first two frames were won by only three and four points respectively. Maurice Phillipson (r90) beat Holbeach’s Jason Rose (r10), and Mick Cooper (o210) won against Phil Cooke (r100) to level it, Cooper reeling off breaks of 44, 32, 24, 24, 22, 22, 22 and 21. Ben Harding (r10) gave Holbeach the points by winning against Darrell Read (r20), 200-93, making his highest break of the season with a 39.
The game between Gosberton A and Broadway was postponed and Services had no game.
