St Blazey and District Snooker League latest by Geoff Hawken

VICTORY LEAGUE

MEVAGISSEY B handed out a hammer blow to defending champions Bethel A taking four frames on Tuesday, January 7, leaving their opponents in joint fourth place in the Victory League.

Nathan Shaw’s two wins, coupled with victories for Pete Chambers and Ben Rothwell despite Garry Stephens’ 38 break saw them home with Bob Stephens the lone success for the visitors as Meva jumped up to second in the league. Leaders Bugle A saw their match postponed.

Pelynt took four frames at Bethel D to move up to third with John Daniell playing excellently as he won twice on the night to go alongside wins for Andrew Gooch and Jamie Daniell. Paul Baron defeated Len Flower for the solitary home point.

Tregonissey A went 4-0 up against their B team through Harrison Burdon, Ryan Bilson, Geoff Merriman and Kevin Harris, with Darren Roberts taking out Jason Cocks in the last.

REES LEAGUE

MEVAGISSEY A remain unbeaten as they took four frames at Bethel B with Mike Haley stopping the whitewash as he beat Rich Lakeman in a tight frame.

Rob Blamey, Darren Powell, Matt Chesterfield and Ben Prynn all won convincingly for the away side.

Lerryn picked up their first win by defeating Gorran Haven by the odd frame as James Stephens, Terry Middleton and Graham Hoskin got wins.

Bugle B took three very handy frames at St Blazey B to narrow the gap to two points on their opponents in second place.

Colin Rundle, Mike Williams and Roy Bayliss all won with Kyle Masters and Gavin Dyche replying.

Bethel C are probably too far away to launch a promotion bid but got four good frames at Mevagissey C through Roger and James Smithson, Howard Brett and Ben Stunell. Richard Tamblin got the home point.
