WARMING UP ON AND OFF THE TABLE!

THE Bolehill players played two enjoyable friendly matches over the past couple of weeks which provided valuable match practice for the forthcoming season.


Firstly, a team of five - : R Slack, C Marchington, M Bunting, K Robertson and A Hopkinson -  made their first ever visit to play Sterndale Moor Social Club (for whom our own Sean O'Sullivan was playing for on this occasion) and although it was hard to keep tabs on the scoring with the match consisting of both snooker and billiards, I think Bolehill emerged as narrow winners 5-4 (though there was also some pool action which I didn't find out the results of!)

The following week seven players: R Slack, C Marchington, M Bunting, K Robertson, S O'Sullivan, I Birks and S Zoppi -  travelled to play at Duffield Club, who we had enjoyed two matches with last season and put up a good performance to be edged out only 5-4, the closest game yet against the high standard Derby League opposition.

Thanks to both clubs for their hospitality and excellent food provided on the respective nights.

Back on home territory, the committee have agreed to have central heating installed over the next few weeks with the main heater unfortunately failing a couple of weeks back and eventually being condemned as a result.

Plus it was agreed to carry out further insulation work at the same time.
