SIBSEY 10 POINTS CLEAR AT THE TOP!

  Sibsey have a 10 point lead at the top of the table, courtesy of a 6-4 victory over Lodgers D. No. 3 ranked Neil Snaith was the player of the match, winning all of his singles and dropping just two ends to Steve Hill and Dave Kime respectively. Dave "Smiler" Smith and Mick "Five End" Ellis both chipped in with one apiece, both beating the unlucky Ian Gorrie. For Lodgers it was Steve Hill and Dave Kime who got their team's points with victories over Dave Smith and Mick Ellis, although Steve had to work particularly hard against Mick Ellis, coming from 0-2 down to take the next three ends 6-11, 13-15, 9-11. With score at 5-4 in favour of Sibsey, the doubles took on extra significance but the Sibsey duo of Smith/Snaith were too strong for Kime/Hill, taking the doubles in four ends and with it the victory on the night.
