The new season started with only two fixtures due to Warriors &
the Specialists unable to field full teams.
Park A started with a 10-0 win against newly promoted BCC Spitfires.
It was a long night the first two frames taking ninety minutes to
complete. The only close game was the last J Thomas winning on the
Black ball. D Minister won by fifty points K Burness won his frame
by forty points.
Deserters defending their title easily beat a three man Wolverton
Bad Boys 8-2, D Mills won his frame 67-12 J Anderson won 63-12 S
Appleby with a break of 31 won his frame 64-50, Bad Boys only success
was in the doubles where they won 60-53.
Wolverton Warriors moved to the top of the league, as they proved
too strong for Park A, winning 10-0 in what was an easy victory. D
Thody was POM for the Warriors for two good performances in both the
singles and the doubles.
MKSC Hustlers are joint second as they inflicted the first defeat
of the season on the Matchroom, wins for M Webb 61-27, D Rayner
66-43 and an excellent 61-35 win for A Gardener over T Greenough
was enough to give them the match. T McGary with a break of 36 as
he won his frame 66-9 was POM for Matchroom.
MKSC Specialists won their first match of the season, 8-2 against
the Bad Boys. A Sillence was the only winner for Bad Boys beating
G Ring 57-12.
No result was received from the Deserters game against BCC Spitfires.
Wolverton Warriors continued their good run with a 10-0 win against
BCC Spitfires, the match was closer than the score suggests. A Ceasar
won his frame against C Nethersole by a single point 48-47, Whilst
A Jones won the last game 57-54 against R Beckley. S Turney recorded
a break of 38 in his win against E Jennings.
MKSC Specialists stay in second place after their 6-4 win against
the Deserters, J Watson with a 54-21 win over D Mills and G Ring
with an excellent 62-37 win against J Anderson, giving them a flying
start, Deserters pulled a frame back in the doubles Anderson and
Mills winning easily after a 40 break from J Anderson. C Armstrong
came out on top in the battle of the captains winning on the black
against S Appelby, D Carney won the last frame for the Deserters
by 1 point 48-47.
MKSC Matchroom won the first 3 frames against Wolverton Bad Boys
to seal the match, T McGary with breaks of 33 and 41 and T Greenough
with a break of 38 winning both singles and the doubles. A Sillince
and M Long taking the last 2 frames for 4 well earned points.
MKSC Hustlers beat Park A 6-4 with A Gardner winning the last
frame to take the match.
Wolverton Warriors lead the division after they beat the reigning
champions 8-2; J Anderson was Deserters only winner on a night when
the Warriors ran out easy winners in the other frames.
MKSC Hustlers inflicted another 10-0 defeat on bottom placed BCC
Spitfires who just can't come to terms with Premier A, after last
season's promotion. The highlight of the night for the Hustlers
was the form of A Gardner with breaks of 45 and 33 he completely
dominated his frame winning it 90-0. (Is this a record-winning margin
in the league)?
Specialist are third despite losing to the Matchroom 6-4, in a
match that saw the first defeat for T McGary, beaten by G Ring who
did it with the highest break so far in the league of 66.
Wolverton Bad Boys after three consecutive promotions, moving
through the Divisions from the second appear to be struggling, without
a win all season they lost 8-2 to Park A who are the next team above
them. There is of course plenty of time to put things right, but
it will be a struggle.
