Travel Centre on the move back to the top of table
All out attack sees Travel past Kitchen Solutions
Louth Travel Centre stormed to the top of the Louth Billiards & Snooker League as PH Mountain Corrugated Ltd beat the previous leaders.
Meanwhile, Theddlethorpe Tawnys are joint second, and 8Ten Racing and N.T.Shaw of Louth both drew at home.
Having heard that last week’s leaders had tumbled at home Louth Travel Centre took the opportunity to fly to the summit with a entertaining 8-4 home win over Kitchen Solutions.
It was all out attack in this clash with no drawn games.
The hosts had Keith Selby, Henry McSpadden, Brian Copeland and Gary Skipworth chalking up the frames while the fighting visitors replied through both Ryan Hodgson and Craig Young as they look to move up the league in the coming weeks.
Dales Poultry & Game slipped one into second place, which they occupy with the team who ended their unbeaten start to the season, P.H. Mountain Corrugated Ltd.
It’s always a good battle between these two sides, and so it proved again.
Simon Jenkins gave the visitors the advantage, and they improved that with Pete Mountain also winning to wrap up a thrilling 8-4 away victory.
Theddlethorpe Tawnys haven't hit any big wins so far this season, but they are quietly going about their business the right way.
And after their 7-5 win over Louth Volksworld they are one of three sides sitting in second spot.
R. Adams and Andy Gathercole were both happy to be playing at home for a change as Simon Godfrey replied for the reigning champions, who just missed out on a draw.
8Ten Racing and Sibjon Builders were involved in a 6-6 draw in their mid-table encounter - a result that leaves both sides just under the radar regarding the leadership.
Daz Jones and Ross Kingham looked to have fired the hosts to victory, but since getting hammered in week one the visitors have cemented their place with Lucian Kemplay and the in-form Phil Williamson earning them a share of the spoils.
N.T. Shaw of Louth and Saltfleetby Snooker Club started play level on points, and that's how it stays after their 6-6 draw.
The league is so tight at the moment, so one good score would see either of these two sides eye up the leadership.
Hayden Gavey had the hosts motoring, but victory wasn't on the menu as Brandon Swain dished up a share of the desserts for his colleagues.
