Cardiff & District Snooker League

Despite his first defeat of the season last week Steve King remains top of the Thursday rankings by two wins from his closest rival Kevin Jones (17 wins out of 20). Huw Carpenter and Macauley Cole follow close after with 16 wins. Outside of the top 24, Spencer Symmons has a 100% record from 9 or so matches.

It’s unchanged once again at the top of the Thursday League as Canton Libs A and Wellington Thursday were both shocked losing 3-2 to Senghenydd and Taffs Well respectively. The lead is still 4 pts but Wellington Thursday have that important game in hand. To continue the shock theme, both Steve King and Huw Carpenter lost their 100% records as Carl Dimond and Kevin Jones beat them. SWS stay in 3rd place with a comprehensive 4 – 1 win over Trec C and now find themselves 11pts off 2nd and 15pts off 1st. Roath Labour also won 4 – 1 against Savoy to stay in 4th place, thanks to a 37 break from Chris Richards. Cathays Cons stay in 7th with a 3 – 2 win over Gower. Trec B continue their excellent form after the Christmas break with a 3 – 2 win over No Balls. Elsewhere Canton Libs Z overcame an off coloured Rumney BL side 4 – 1.

Once again there is no change at the top of the Thursday League as Canton Libs A and Welly Thursday won 3-2 against Cathays Cons and Savoy respectively. Canton Libs A were helped by unbeaten Steve King who made two 41 breaks in the same frame. It came down to a very high class deciding frame between John Hicks and Malcolm Griffiths, which Malcolm eeked out with some quality safety play. SWS again stay in 3rd place with an impressive 4 – 1 win over rivals Senghenydd. Taffs Well are still in 4th after losing 3 -2 to the Gower. Roath Labour stay in touch with the battle for 3rd after a 4 – 1 win over No Balls. Elsewhere there were wins for Trec B who beat Canton Libs Z 3 – 2 and for the improving Canton Libs B who beat Trec C 4 – 1.

After two-thirds of the season Mark Bennett heads the Tuesday League rankings with 14 wins from 15, with just the one defeat against Mark Green of the University. Rhys Carpenter also has 14 wins but an additional loss, and Neil Tomkins sits one win behind. Elsewhere Wellington players still feature prominently in the top 15, including captain Chris Crookes in 7th place, as do Fairwater unsurprisingly. Cardiff champion Alan Morgan lurks lower down the rankings with an impressive 6 wins from 7. Continue reading →

Who knew that not playing could be so good for you? Ok, Penarth Legion did drop one position, but they are closer now to being true Tuesday League title challengers than at any time since a famous pink a few years ago.

Their lead at the top was usurped by Fairwater, but only just, as the Uni proved their everpresent threat and beat the reigning champions 3-2, thanks to Captain Rhys Carpenter, who closed it out to continue excellent form this year. County could have closed the gap, but a bad run for Luke and a bad run of form for me meant they only won 3-2 after leading Rileys 3-0.

Mack got back to winning ways in emphatic style, sending Trec back to the Valleys with a 4-1 beating, while Savoy narrowly saw off Penarth Road 3-2 to remain a presence near the top of the table.

Next week is the semi finals of the Cup, so Mack will play Penarth Road, while County host Fairwater. Repeat, the game is at County – HT please note, in case I told you differently when we were last at your venue.
