RESULTS of the Social Club snooker league for October 7 were as follows: Conservative A 4 Legion A 1; West Devon A 5 Conservative D 0.

There were no scares at the West Devon as their A team completed a regulation 5-0 win over Conservative D. Wins for Hurford, Emptage, Hawke and Heathman set the ball rolling with the rout completed by Kevin Rich, to take them to the top spot of the league.

There was a crumb of comfort for Con D with their skipper Ali Holmes into double figures. Early season signs seem to be that West Devon A are the team to watch.

Conservative A entertained Legion A and got off to a flyer with Carruthers amassing a superb 68 break allowing Ryall no way back. This break is sure to be the 'benchmark' for the season's highest break award. There were further comfortable wins for Lacey over Stewart and Babb over Wickett; this set Con on the way to what looked like being a comfortable victory.

Legion, though, never give up and bounced back with a fine display from Woods to overcome in form Evans. Being 15 points up with 18 left on the table Evans looked set fair until Con A's new signing Cook, who struggled with his rhythm during the early part of the frame. Parr for the Legion failed to capitalise and suffered as Cook eventually found his touch with a couple of double figure breaks to run in comfortable winner and making it 4-1 for his team on the night.
