Notts Arena secure back to back titles

NOTTS Arena confirmed their superiority in Division One by claiming back-to-back league titles at Warsop WMC this week.

With only two defeats throughout the season they have proved yet again to have the winning mentality.

The winning team were the usual suspects, Daz Presgrave, Daz Metcalfe and Ash Carty with Ian Scott claiming a point for Warsop WMC to keep them in the hunt for third spot.

Breakers S played their last game of the season and claimed the runners-up spot after a 3-1 victory over Stanley Street G.

The defeat for Andy Camm’s Stanley G sees them all but relegated now after Wayne Race, Kev Seaman and Graham Cliffe all won.

Only captain Shane Robinson lost but he nearly produced an awesome comeback in frame one against Alex Stringfellow.

Shane needed seven snookers at one stage and amazingly got them one by one to give himself a chance of winning the frame on the colours, however Alex fluked blue and held his nerve to pot the pink to win.

Knockout Cup Champions Breakers X continued their purple patch after all but relegating Breakers E with a 3-1 victory.

Wins from Richard Griffiths, David Wheat and John Fisher sees the Breakers lads go 20 games unbeaten in all competitions and eye a possible third place finish.

Meanwhile at the bottom, with defeats for Breakers E and Stanley G, Anston stepped up to the plate producing a fantastic 4-0 home victory against Harworth.

The winning quartet for Anston were Charlie Elliot, Bruce Elliot, Steve Taylor and Ian Rookes to give Anston a glimmer of hope.

Welbeck B produced a 3-1 win thanks to Tom Pritchard, Russ Tryner and John Webster in the local derby against Welbeck A, but now see themselves only two points from the drop zone .

Other Results: Warsop Memorial 2-2 Hodthorpe A, Stanley St D (bye).
