STAG EXECUTE THE KING’S HEAD AS LSC STUMBLE
NEWPORT (Shropshire): Market Drayton’s Stag reduced the gap at the top of the Newport Pool League to two points after crushing King’s Head A on a night when LSC were held to a 3-3 draw by the Railway Tavern.
Pheasant A took full advantage to beat the Wheatsheaf, 6-0, and closed the gap on the leaders.
Newport Legion overcame Shakespeare A in a marathon contest. Simon Walley seven-balled an out-of-sorts Andy Phelan and Jack Dicken edged Tom Vernon out of a tense black ball second frame. Mick Beech won a nip and tuck 43-minute third frame against Neil Perkins, but Dean Smith ousted Jason Taphouse before the away side prevailed in two marathon doubles frames.
Junction A hosted the Horns in their Staffordshire clash, but the away side came away with both points. The Navigation drew 3-3 with Pheasant B and the Honeysuckle condemned Shakespeare B to their 16th defeat of the season without losing a rack.
Junction B got the better of the Haberdashers Arms at Knighton with the loss of just one frame, but King’s Head B continued their useful run of recent results with a 2-4 away win at the Royal Navy Club.
