A 4-1 win over bottom placed Conservative C was enough to put Royal British Legion into third place in the Tavistock Social Club snooker league.
Things did not start too bright with Williams losing out in a black ball game to Con C's Basset. Bouncing back RBL's Gibbs accounted for Stewart Billiards with several 'in offs' and many unforced errors. A final captain's innings for Stewart beating Ewings made it four for Legion.
Con D's recent bad form continued with a sound 5-0 thrashing by close neighbours and top of the league Con A. Croucher started the rot losing Longden who started slow but finished solidly.
Mole was no match for Carruthers who never looked in trouble. A solid safety game from Jankowski almost pulled it off for Con D but Folley kept his nerve to see it through for Con A.
Andrews on next was no match for Evans who made it home comfortably. The last game was difficult to call with Con A's reserve man Mills eventually edging out Day in a close encounter that went down to the last couple of balls. The win extends Con A's lead at the top of the table to 11 points — their next opponent, second place West Devon A, makes it a 'must win' game for West Devon.
