TOP of the table Con A lost their 100% record in the Tavistock Social Club snooker league to West Devon A in a tense, hard fought encounter that went down to the last ball of the last frame.

Kevin Rich continued his unbeaten ways with a solid win over Longdon. Con A bounced back with Lacey fighting off a 24 comeback from Heathman, taking a couple of pressure pots to make it all square. The next frame between Emptage and Follet was evenly balanced before Emptage won it for WD. Back again came Con A with Carruthers, who had to fight off a spirited challenge from Rob Heathman. The deciding frame looked all but in the bag for Con A's in form Evans with WD's Hurford requiring 22 points of the remaining 22 on the table. Hurford kept his nerve, and potted three consecutive balls and the spoils for WD.

Another battle royal went on at The Royal British Legion who were entertaining WD B. RBL's Gibbs made short work of Gilchrist with Woods (24) and Roger Rich. Bath pulled one back for WD with another customary solid play, only for skipper Stewart to seal the win with a hard fought black ball win over Rich. Seasoned campaigner May ground out the last frame to overcome Wickett and make it two wins for West Devon on the night.

At the Conservative Club Jago's Con C picked up their first win of the season over rivals Con D. Croucher for Con D was beaten by Bassett and could only muster three points in the frame.

Two re-spotted black ball games then went the way of Con C with Jago picking up his first win of the season over Holmes, whilst Ewings edged out Jankowski.

Andrews got Con D on the board with a win over Neale but Craze put the icing on the cake for Con C with a fine win over Day to make it a 4-1 to Con C on the night.

This win for Con C lifts them above Con B and off the bottom of the league.
