Larne FSC - Bye
The last unbeaten record in the Larne & District Pool League fell in the big top of the table clash between Thatch and Ibrox. Thatch won 10-5 thanks mainly to a fantastic first session in which they won all 5 frames. Hat tricks from Jonny Nelson and Alan Johnston helped Thatch consolidate their position at the top of the table. Saints stay in the race after defeating No 1 Reds by 10-5 with session scores of 4-1, 2-3 and 3-2. For Saints new NI 'A' Team player Ady Toner from Portrush scored a fine treble as did Anthony McCorry. Stuart Houston's Gers are now joint 3rd after a steady if unspectacular 9-6 win over 11th placed Thatch Rockets. Hugo Manson's Feathers won the opening frame against LIPS only for the Inver Park men to level at 1-1. But it was to be their only frame of the match as the Pigeon Club team reeled of 13 in a row to take both points. Honours were even after the No 1 Blues v St Comgalls match with Tyler McKee winning the vital 16th frame for the hosts. No 1 Club had to dig deep winning the last 4 frames away to a dogged Station Bar team with Kenny Hylands winning the play off to secure the 2 points. Mickey O'Boyle had an unbeaten 2/2 for the Railway men as did William Irvine for No 1. Dhu had a great win over the Highfliers storming back from 1-6 and 4-7 down. Sean Davidson won the play off frame for Dhu to guarantee his team both points.
