STATUS QUO BETWEEN LSC AND STAG IN NEWPORT POOL LEAGUE
NEWPORT (Shropshire): Status quo prevails at the top of the Newport Pool League after LSC at the Tav got the better of Pheasant B and the Stag thrashed King’s Head B, 6-0, in Market Drayton.
LSC were made to work slightly harder for their 5-1 win. Andy Lewis opened the scoring against Mike Jones, only for Phil Terry to level against Ben Longstaff. Greg and Ant Heathcote got the better of Luke and Jack Jones to make it 3-1 and there was no way back in the doubles for the away side.
King’s Head A continued their run of recent form to maintain fourth with a 4-2 win over the Haberdashers Arms and Newport Legion remain third after a 5-1 win over Shakespeare B.
Pheasant A have also catapulted up the league table to fifth after an indifferent start and continued their run of wins at the expense of the Royal Navy Club. They also progressed to the second round of the Neil Clark Memorial Trophy on Tuesday with a 0-4 win at the Navigation.
Shakespeare A entertained the Railway Tavern and the visitors went into a 0-2 lead after Stu Morrey got the better of Russ Woodhouse and Andy Phelan threw away two shots three times to hand the win to Dave Bristow. Dean Smith pulled a frame back against Adam Stone but Greg Quinn made it 1-3 after getting the better of Kevin Genner in a marathon fourth rack. Honours were shared in the doubles frames.
Honeysuckle faced a tricky away clash at Junction A, but they produced one of the best results of the season with a 0-6 demolition of the Norbury side, while the Wheatsheaf went down to the Navigation in Chetwynd Aston by the odd frame.
