FORMBY & DISTRICT SNOOKER LEAGUE

Joe Rigby Handicap Too Tight To Call

With one round of matches left to play in the Joe Rigby Handicap League only Conservative Club B are certain of their place in the semi finals. They comfortably beat Legion B 4-2 to secure their qualification as winners of Group A. This was a result repeated in the other two Group A matches with Our Ladys A winning at Les Dodd A and Ince Club notching their first win in the competition in the derby with Ince St. Marys. Only three points now separate the five teams battling for second spot and any one of them could qualify.

Group B is proving to be just as exciting with Our Ladys B's 4-2 defeat of Les Dodd B throwing the group wide open. Here Dave Hartley(47) put in a good performance for Les Dodd's whilst Luke Marshall inflicted a rare defeat on Andy Booth. The highest break of the week came at the Conservative Club where Neil Farrington scored a quickfire 53 but this wasn't enough to stop Crosby Comrades losing 5-1 to Cons A for whom Robin Bond and Stuart Catterall claimed notable scalps. Legion A moved to the top of Group B with a 5-1 drubbing of Legion C. Legion C along with Crosby Comrades cannot now qualify but the remaining four teams are all still in with a shout of claiming one of the top two spots.
