WH Bond Liskeard and District Snooker League 2025/26 (Week Four)

LAST week’s fixtures (Wednesday, September 24) must have been a record for breaks as 18 were recorded in the WH Bond-sponsored Liskeard and District Snooker League.

In Division One, Glenn Allen hit the division's highest break, knocking in a 39 against Michael Haley from Lanreath. Jason Smith also produced a 26 as Menheniot went on to win 3-2.

St Germans’ grip on the Runabout Shield vanished as they were whitewashed by Luckett whose Aldon Livingstone cracked in a 31 break against Joni Robertson.

At St Ive, Chris Perring had the same break against Ollie Manley with team-mate Adrian James knocking in a 27 to level the scores, only to see Valighan Delbridge win the deciding frame for Polbathic A.

Polbathic B hosted Trevelmond, but with both teams only having four players, Anita Ivey played Darren O'Shea twice. O'Shea nipped in a 30 break in their second encounter.

The top the table clash saw no changes despite a 25 break from Liskeard Cons’ Dan Marchant against leaders Essa Club who had captain Dan Billing win the deciding frame.

Dobwalls’ Roger Mitchell cleared up with a 25 break as he defeated Downderry's Steve Morris for a 4-1 win.

In Division One, St Neot successfully defended the Runabout Shield with wins for Steve Courts, Andrew Tamblyn and Ian Hawke against St Dominick B.

Downderry A continue to float around mid-table after a 3-2 win over bottom team Pelynt A.

Pelynt D’s Gerry Markwell made a 39 break but still lost on the black to St Dominick A’s Chris Bond who saw team-mate Martin Pitcher make a league’s best for the season of 49. Tony Farrant (47) wasn’t far behind.

James Edmonds hit a winning 26 break for his team Freathy as they beat Lerryn 4-1, while Calstock entertained Trewidland with Paul Walker the only player to walk away with a point for the team.

Liam Jones started off with a 27 break against Guy Williams.

With both teams having four players, Kevin Rich went on to hit a 35 break in his second frame against Colin Bunney.

At Looe Social, four decent breaks were made Matt Vessey started off with a 42.
