Donington C edged out Bourne SC A 4-2 to smash the last remaining unbeaten record in Spalding and District Snooker League Division One last week.
Graham Slater’s (R7) 90-43 victory over Oli Player (O28) in the final frame secured the win for Donington, who were also buoyed by triumphs from Neil Reynolds (O49) and Neil Favell (O14) against the leaders.
Winning duo Reynolds and Favell both made breaks of 24, while Max Ayliff (O14) did manage a 22 break for Bourne – who saw their five-game winning run ended.
