Weeks 8 & 9 Update
It’s been a busy few weeks of snooker for our league players, with plenty of competition matches taking place — including the One Day 6 Reds tournament last Saturday and the return to league action following the first round of the Team KO.
Congratulations once again to Martin Burrell, who triumphed in the 6 Reds competition at YM Brotherhood.
A big well done as well to all teams from both groups who advanced to the next round of the Team KO. Special recognition goes to Kurtis Norman for achieving the highest break of the round — an impressive 73. Fantastic effort, Kurtis!
The next round is scheduled for the week commencing 2nd February. Fixtures are now live on the website, so make sure to check them out in advance.

Lennons SC ‘B’ recorded their first win of the season with a convincing 4–1 victory at home against Alfreton ‘H’. It was also a night of firsts for Jay Renshaw, Gary Scott, and Glen Shawcroft, who each secured their first league wins of the campaign — hopefully a confidence boost to kick-start their season.
Following an impressive Team KO performance the previous week, YM Brotherhood ‘A’ looked to carry that momentum into their visit to the Clock Tower. Despite a surprising lack of high breaks, the match turned into a close and tense battle. After a late finish, the visitors edged out a 3–2 win, keeping them within reach of the top two teams.
YM’s Rob Mullis maintained his impressive unbeaten run with a narrow victory over Kurtis Norman, moving him to the top of the player rankings — well done, Rob!

Division One

Alfreton ‘D’ were determined to make amends for their opening 5–0 defeat to YM ‘C’ earlier in the season as the two sides met again this week in a top-of-the-table clash.
This time, it proved to be a much closer contest. John Roseman battled hard to force a final-frame decider for the league leaders, setting up a tense showdown between Alfreton’s Gareth Clarke and YM’s Duncan Waring. The frame went down to the wire, with Waring fighting back from behind to force a black-ball re-spot. After a brief safety exchange, Clarke attempted a tough pot to clinch victory, only to see the black wobble in the pocket and stay out — leaving the Clay Cross player an easy finish to steal the win.
At the other end of the table, YM ‘B’ enjoyed their second — and most impressive — win of the season with a commanding 4–1 victory at home over Clowne Lib ‘A’. Wins from Andrew Frisby, Martin Conway, Matt Scraton, and Lee Buckland — who also compiled a fine 31 break — move them within touching distance of the four teams above.

Division Two

Lennons ‘F’ are still searching for their first win since the opening game of the season against Hasland ‘D’, who they faced once again this week. Unfortunately, it was another defeat for Lennons. Trailing 4–0, a whitewash looked inevitable, but new signing Kevin Ryan mounted an impressive comeback — overturning a 30-point deficit with a superb 30 break and a 22 clearance to secure a valuable consolation point for the struggling side.
Meanwhile, their clubmates Lennons ‘C’ continue to make strong progress, recording another victory to remain top of the table. Another win for Lewis Longden also sees him move to the summit of the player standings.
Grassmoor’s steady rise continues too, as a commanding 4–1 win over Doe Lea lifts them into second place.

Division Three

Alfreton’s Paul Sainsbury saw his remarkable 18-match unbeaten league run come to an end this week, falling to Michael Elliott of YM Brotherhood ‘F’ in their league encounter. Despite the setback, Paul remains at the top of the player standings — a fantastic achievement. Well done, Paul!
Alfreton ‘F’ also hold onto the top spot in the division, despite a narrow 3–2 defeat to the same YM side.
Meanwhile, Alfreton ‘C’ climbed above YM ‘D’ in the table after edging out the Clay Cross team in a tight contest. The young Alfreton side showed real composure, taking all three points in the match.
In the New Whitt vs NCA clash, just six points separated the two teams on the night, with NCA emerging 3–2 winners. It’s just as close between them in the standings, with both sides now level on points as we enter the second quarter of fixtures.
