WH BOND LISKEARD AND DISTRICT SNOOKER LEAGUE LATEST

LAST Wednesday (April 8) saw the final round of league matches of the season with Pelynt B being relegated after two years in the Premier.

Needing a big win to stand any chance of staying up, they were whitewashed by Calstock.

Pelynt A, sweating it out at Lerryn knowing a win would secure their Premier status, went 2-2 with wins for Jamie Daniell and stand-in player Andrew Gooch. But they saw the deciding frame go Lerryn's way for James Stevens who beat Nigel Talling.

With three teams battling it out for the runners-up spot, St Neot needed a 5-0 win to force maybe a rematch on tied points. But Matt Vessey took the first frame for Looe Social then the league’s ‘Most Wins’ winner Darran Lock made sure they ended up in second place as they came out 4-1 winners.

Champions St Dominick A travelled to Freathy and saw Kevin Steed produced an excellent 51 break, ably supported by team-mate Martin Pitcher who knocked in a 25 as they won 4-1.

Relegated Trewidland hoped to have ended the season with a win, but were soundly beaten 4-1 by Pelynt D with only Gary Bendelow winning the sole frame against Keith Armitage.

At St Dominick B, the battle of captains/committee saw Darren Hunn beat Richard Broad which set the home team up for a 3-2 win.

After a five-match defence of the Division One Runabout Shield, Liskeard Cons lost it to Menheniot who were 2-0 up before Morgan Bickley won the deciding frame.

Dobwalls picked up the point they needed for a quick return to the Premier as they defeated St Germans 4-1.

The biggest shock came from champions Essa Club who were playing at home as Ivan Hancocks (two frames), Adrian James (Most Wins winner) and Chris Perring all won for St Ive in a 4-1 success.

Aldon Livingston whipped in a 28 break for Luckett against Polbathic A's Richard Baptie but saw his side lose 3-2, while Trevelmond ended their season with a 3-2 result with wins for Mike Scott Snr, Greg West and Vanessa Scott against Lanreath.

Downderry B entertained Polbathic B and started off well with Alan Swabey beating James Ivey, but they lost the last four frames.
