Premier League Champions now playing as the Mighty Oak made it 2 wins on the spin with a comfortable 10 - 2 victory in their local derby with Newdigate Sports. Steve Nesden, Chris McDermott and Callum Mulhern all with 2 wins apiece. Chapel End Libs 'A' are out to prove last seasons top 2 finish was no fluke and beat Coton Bandits 8 - 4, super Sam Baginskis on cue with a break and reverse dish. Another cueman in the pot zone was the Lucky Buddha's Jack Schofield who potted a double break dish in his sides 8 - 4 victory over Atherstone Cons 'A'. This performance would normally get the MOM award but that went to Pepe Elsworth whose clearance against John Grimes was outstanding. Newly promoted Gurkha Corner shard the points with an under manned Atack Snooker, Danny Barr knocking in 2 unreal clearances, so he told me! Division One front runners The Travellers open up a 3 point lead at the top after they beat Gurkha Rejects 9 - 3, Ian Richards the top Traveller. Elsewhere their were wins for Atherstone Cons 'B', Fox Inn and the Flagnificent 7. Coniston Tavern are the early leaders of Division Two and potted an excellent 9 - 3 victory over Pi55 up @ the Piv. The Wheatsheaf won 3 of the last 4 frames against the Kingswood Tavern to salvaged a draw after the Kings look set to take the match. Title favourites Midland Railway out potted dark Horses Oakey Cokey while Rose Poke n Hope beat the Stag & Pheasant.
