With finals looming large, the club hosted a huge number of fixtures for round 17, including a few catch up matches on the card.

The biggest mover on the day was Dom Friend winning all three of his matches. The first was a 7/5 victory over top four rival Joe Wilson. He followed that up with two, seven nil wins over Jayden Lloyd and Lorraine Woods respectively.

Joe Wilson’s loss sees him lose more ground to both Jamie Woods and Jamie Maher at the top of the league table, each of whom had wins on Sunday.

Jamie Woods defeated Jayden Lloyd 7/1 and Jamie Maher had a 7/0 win over Gary Robbie, Jamie Maher hit a 180 in that game.

Aaron Paull had a 7/2 win over Nathan O’Hara and a 7/3 win over Andy Peel which keeps a firm grip on his finals spot, currently sitting in 7th.

Alan Green also had an important top 8 win on Sunday, with a 7/3 win over Kameron Reason. That defeat for Kameron Reason was a big blow for his finals chances, but with two rounds remaining, he may make it yet.

Andy Peel had a tough day on the board suffering 2 losses out of his 3 matches which drop him out of the top four for now. The victory he did have was a 7/3 win over Jayden Lloyd.

With only two rounds remaining, there’s still an awful lot to play for both ends of the table.
