LOOE Social’s hopes of securing the runners-up spot in the Premier Division took a blow as they were beaten 4-1 at St Dominick B.

Looe travelled having won 5-0 in their last two outings to a side they have had a poor record recently, and once struggled despite Jerry Richards taking the opener.

Darren Lock’s 41 break put the visitors in pole position for the second frame, but Martyn Searle’s 32 pinched it which allowed team-mates Peter Tancock, Adrian Olver and Martin Hunn to reel off the next three, the latter also making a 32 break.

The result leaves St Dominick just four points behind in fifth.

Freathy stay third, two points adrift of Looe Social with Simon Deacon knocking in a 27 break. However, he lost to Pelynt B’s Tim Treeby who picked up a valuable point in their quest to avoid relegation.

While fourth-placed St Neot visited Trewidland and came away with a 4-1 win, for the other two Pelynt teams they both had good wins to avoid the drop.

Pelynt D came back from 2-0 down to beat Lerryn, and at Calstock, Kevin Rich was is potting form knocking in breaks of 37 & 32 to level the match at 2-2.

Pelynt A's Chris Mitchell – playing in his second frame due to the four-player rule – won the deciding frame against Malcolm Floyd.

Downderry A saw Nigel Doble win his first frame ever against St Dominick A after 22 seasons against Andrew Pearce, which was the only win as Kevin Steed knocked in a 31 clearance against Paul Woodman and Martin Pitcher won the last frame over Nigel Gilbert which now means he leads the Most Wins on percentages after Looe's top two players both lost.

In Division One, Luckett’s Aldon Livingston improved his highest beak with a superb 44, however 14-year-old James Ivey won his first frame, and in doing so won the match for Polbathic B by beating Andrew Pengelly. Olly Daw won the final frame for a 4-1 win,

Leaders Essa Club travelled the short distance to Polbathic A and extended their lead at the top with a 5-0 whitewash.

Second-placed Dobwalls came back from 2-1 down against Trevelmond with Wayne Paffey winning the deciding frame against Aiden Williams on the black to be seven points behind Essa.

Lanreath crashed to a 3-2 defeat to St Ive which may knock their promotion chances, while Liskeard Cons held on to the Runabout Shield with a 4-1 win against Downderry B who's only winner was Alan Swabey.

At Menheniot, Nigel Steed levelled the match at 2-2 against Joni Robertson, but a rare appearance from Nick Avis sealed the win for St Germans by winning against Mike Conbeer.
