Beechdale relegated after Bloxwich whitewash
Bloxwich Memorial A’s 5-0 whitewash saw opponent Beechdale Social relegated on the Aldridge Snooker Premier League’s penultimate game week, as the bottom six were confirmed, writes Dan Hickey.
Jack Harris, Joshua Walker, Stewart Jones, Jamie Harris and Alan Hathaway all won their frames as they continue to push Pelsall Social A for second place.
Beechdale are joined by Rushall Labour A, Stafford Institute, Bentley Moor A, Dartmouth Central and Bloxwich Sports in Division One next season.
League-leaders Hotshots won 5-0 again, to go six points clear at the top of the table, all but mathematically confirming the title.
Callum Downing, Ryan Hamilton, Hasib Hussain, Neil Beckley and Hasan Hussain won their frames, meaning second-placed Pelsall Social A require both a whitewash win in their final game of the season and a Hotshots loss to take the top spot.
Pelsall are still in the race following a 4-1 win against Bentley Moor A, where Nathan Aston, Simon Groves, Paul Harrison and Adrian Rosa all won.
Despite their relegation, Stafford defeated Old Hall B 3-2. Old Hall’s Riley Parsons got breaks of 69 and 39 to take the lead, but wins for Jamie Owens and Chris Ward, and a four-man Old Hall side, meant Institute triumphed.
Poets Corner A also won 3-2, defeating second-bottom Dartmouth Central through Pommy Kang, Dave Blunt and Adam Hartshorn. They move up a spot into eighth.
Poets’ B team enjoyed a 4-1 win, climbing two places into sixth thanks to Michael Croasdale, Darren Millard, Steve Garner and Tony Walker all succeeding against bottom-side Bloxwich Sports.
Charlemont A got the final 4-1 victory against Old Hall A, while Wednesfield Cons edged out Rushall Labour A 3-2.
Charlemont B’s 4-1 win against second-bottom Q Bar B in Division One saw them leapfrog Bentley Moor B into second place, as the latter only won 3-2 against Pelsall Social B.
Chad Howell, Alex Stevens, Dan Roden and Robert Leek all won for Charlemont, while Russ Maine, Mitchell Swain and Tom Swain’s comeback from 2-0 down for Bentley Moor sees them a point behind in the race for second.
Fourth and fifth sides Aldridge Cons A and Amery both won 5-0 against Norton Vic and Old Hall C respectively, while already-confirmed champions Aldridge Cons C beat Rushall Labour B 3-2.
Aldridge Cons B defeated Bloxwich Memorial B, Darlaston Cons beat Landywood B and Lichfield Road won against Q Bar A by the same 3-2 score.
