BOLEHILL No 1 IN PRIME POSITION

BOLEHILL No 1 team followed their 4-1 win over the No 3 team with another win by that scoreline over the No 2 team this week to put themselves in prime position for Jack Haywood Cup glory.
Colin Marchington was the star performer on the night, notching breaks of 29 and 20 and winning both his singles and doubles frames.
Andrew Brough also also in fine potting form against Mark Gwynne Jones.
Three of the frames went down to a black ball decider. Keith Robertson produced one of his speciality long raking pots to defeat Ricki Slack, Ian Birks came from the snooker required stage to defeat Dwayne Martin and Ricki and Colin edged out Keith and Dwayne in another cliffhanger.
So Bolehill No 1 now have 8 points from 2 games, with the other two teams each with a point apiece.
The No 1 and No 2 teams meet again on Tuesday January 17 in the league, which will also be the next scheduled J Haywood Cup match.
The No 2 and No 3 teams play on Tuesday March 13in the League which will be a J Haywood Cup match too and it is hoped the No 3 team will play one further match each against the other two teams if there is a blank week somewhere to make up the mini league table.
The six red cup clash between the No 2 and No 3 teams won't be able to count obviously as the format is different.

J HAYWOOD CUP UP AND RUNNING

THE first match in this season's re-vamped J Haywood Cup was played last night with Bolehill No 1 triumphing 4-1 over Bolehill No 3 (this was also a league match).
With the No 1 and No 2 team meeting twice during the season (the first of which is this coming Monday), it is hoped the No 3 team will be able to fit in a further match each against the other Bolehill teams so everyone plays twice each. As it stands the No 3 team will play the other Bolehill teams just once in the league programme.
Meanwhile, the central heating is almost ready to swing into action as  the finishing touches are being put to it as I speak, thanks to Mr Treanor for a fine job. So throw away those sweaters and cardigans as of now, or maybe not just yet judging by some of those winter forecasts lol!
