BOTTOM of the Tavistock Social Club snooker league Con C although losing, produced one of their better performances of the season in narrowly going down 2-3 to Legion A. Ewings got things off to a good start with a close win over Parr, only for Legion to come back with Gibbs beating Neale. Con's skipper Clive Jago then came close to his first win of the season only to be squeezed out by Woods in a black ball game. Bassett proving again how he is fast becoming a force to reckon with in the league, pulled the Con's level with a fine win over Stewart, compiling the leagues highest break of 32 in the process.

The deciding frame was a bit of a battle that eventually went the way of Legions Wickett after a brave effort from Con's Toby Jago.

West Devon B bounced back from last weeks drubbing to produce an accomplished display against Con B with a 4-1 win. Veteran Bath was just too consistent for Con's new boy Holmes and never looked in trouble. John Rich playing one of his best games of the season ruthlessly brushed aside a lack- lustre Hattie Hurls to make it two, keeping the white in the table in the process.

The Con's nearly pulled one back as Dolan could consider himself slightly unlucky to run out the loser to Roger Rich in a tight finish. Skipper Gilchrist solid as a rock again accounted for Con's other new boy Armstrong. Although Armstrong showed that his match practise he will be a good acquisition for Con's. Saving the blushes, Willson pulled the final frame back for the Con's to salvage something on the night.
