WELL THE NEW Darley Dale League snooker season is underway and already a quarter of the way through (for those teams who have not had a bye!!) Doesn't time fly!!
It's been an encouraging start for our teams this year although of course there's still a long way to go!!
The No 1 team suffered a 5-0 loss at perennial bogey opponents Belper Strutt Club No 1 second game in - after winning their first by the same score - but have since recovered to post three successive wins so four out of five ain't bad (as Meatloaf almost said but not quite lol).
The No 2 team had a torrid start with two defeats against fairly tough opposition early doors (OK one of them was us!!) but it was always going to be a learning curve and they have bounced back very well indeed with a 4-1 win and a brilliant 3-2 win over previously mentioned unbeaten opponents Belper Strutt Club No 1 last time out. Really pleased for Dwayne and the lads in what for most of them is their first season involved and it should give them some great encouragement for the rest of the year to come.
Our youngsters in the No 3 team also put up a great effort a couple of games back losing only 3-2 away to last seasons league champions the Edgefold Club which is definitely their best result so far in what has been a tough set of opening fixtures for the lads. Its unfortunate their first home game was cancelled against a fellow "B" team but the more matchplay they get the better they should become and hopefully their first win is just around the corner!!
Also, unfortunately the early games have been postponed in the Jack Haywood Cup competition for various reasons so hopefully we can get them arranged and back on track ASAP. Thanks all.
