IMPROVEMENT GROUP MEET AGAIN

JUST  a reminder to members that Bolehill Improvement Group meet on Tuesday, September 24th between 7 and 9pm, so the club will be out of action for normal business between these hours.

BOLEHILL No 1 BACK FROM THE BRINK IN PIPE OPENER WITH HARTINGTON RBL

IAN BIRKS and COLIN MARCHINGTON finished the night in style.

THANKS to a Hartington Royal British Legion "All Stars" team who travelled to Bolehill Institute for an enjoyable pre season friendly with the hosts' No 1 team.
Designed to blow away the cobwebs, the event had the desired effect as play gradually improved as the night progressed for the home team after some inevitable early rustiness.

Hartington started much the quicker, with Steve Hawkins (a member of both clubs) taking the first frame on the black, Gary Walker putting in an impressive display to make it 2-0 and then John Turner adding the third frame shortly afterwards.

However, Ian Birks stopped the rot in the fourth and then he and Ricki Slack further reduced the arrears in the first of the pairs frames to make it 3-2.

Ian then partnered Colin Marchington to enjoy his third success of the night, with the latter scoring the nights highest break of 27, to level things up.

The overall aggregate margin was 13pts in favour of Bolehill after at one stage being 76pts adrift after the opening three frames.
