secure the bonus points, but the Market

win for Gareth Butcher & Christine Farra.
The Lion, playing at the
Alma
in Deal following the closure of their pub in
Ash, beat the Fitzwalter Arms 6-0, maintaining
the pressure on the Chantry. Neville
Potts (6930) opened with a winning 4620 break,
Tim Hayes break of 5460 saw off Roger Oldfield,
and Chris Saville (5610) won the final singles
on his debut for the Lion team. The
doubles saw good contributions from both Terry
Laslett and Wack Sampson to complete the
whitewash, despite Chris Saville forgetting
the maximum 2000 rule and losing his break.
The Plough & Harrow from Bridge beat the
doomed
Market
Inn
B

start, but it was downhill from there for the

the next two frames, and the first two doubles
also fell to the Plough. Keith Symes

Carlson 5240-3890 in the final leg for the
final 5-1 scoreline.
In Division 2, runaway leaders The Alma won
4-2 at the Brickmakers A in a very closely
contested match. Rick Cowdrey beat Paul

Howarth 1870-1860 to level matters. John
Mitchell (2160) restored the

to re-establish the lead for the visitors.

& Jim Jackson. A tense final leg
went to the last ball as Dave McNeily and
Daniel Jackson defeated Tanya & Steve
Philpott 2570-2510.
The Plough & Harrow succumbed to home
defeat in Tilmanstone, 4-2 against the

ahead. Simon
