The breaks were flowing as the golfers got down to some serious business with Paul Roe (29), Tony Blant (27) and Les Mooney (39 & 21) thriving on the situation to produce some of their best snooker of the season so far.Graham Jones rounded off a clean sweep of singles before Mooney and Roe completed the nap hand in the concluding doubles.

Alfreton Palmer Morewood also scored a home victory, 3-2 over Matlock Club to stay in contention but will need Edgefold to do them a huge favour in the remaining contests if they are to lift the silverware.
