LERRYN caused the biggest shock of the week in the Premier on Wednesday, January 14 as despite Darren Lock hitting a 40 for second-placed Looe Social to go 2-0 up, their opponents took the last three with Lerryn’s Roger Hawken knocking in a 28 break in the deciding frame.

It means that there are now four teams in contention for the runners-up spot with only two points between them.

St Dominick B stay third with Darren Hunn cracking in a big 58 break with a 4-1 result over Pelynt A whose only winner was Nigel Talling.

Joint fourth and fifth St Neot and Freathy both whitewashed their opponents Pelynt D and Trewidland respectively in which Freathy held on to the Runabout Shield and saw James Edmonds in fine form, producing breaks of 38 & 25.

Defending champions St Dominick A are 11 points clear at the top having defeated Pelynt B 5-0, while wins for Viv Wilton, Darryl Edmunds and Kevin Rich set up Calstock for a 3-2 success over Downderry A.

For the ninth time this season, the Division One Runabout Shield is in new hands, this time being Liskeard Cons helped by Terry Hopper whipping in a 27 break and Russell Hemmings who won twice as they defeated Polbathic B 3-2.

Top the table clash saw leaders Essa Club extend their lead to five points with their 3-2 result over Dobwalls who are only 3 points ahead of Lanreath who defeated Downderry B 4-1.

St Germans stay bottom, but only just as they lost in a tight match 3-2 to Polbathic A.

In a double header to clear an outstanding match, Luckett won the re-arranged game against Menheniot 3-2, but Menheniot had the same scoreline in their normal fixture.

Elsewhere, St Ive’s slim promotion hopes continue with a 3-2 success over Trevelmond.
