Scorpions welcomed Rab and Big T’s Rockets to the Times Bar. Rockets took the first frame with a good finish. Darren Whiteside levelled scores before Davey Blair put the Rockets ahead with a sensational finish. Lee McIIreevy made it 2-2 with a classy finish of his own and Colin Rafferty put Scorpions 3-2 up after, sportingly, Rab Butler called a foul that the ref did not see.
Jonny Johnston drew level for Rockets and Chris Carson gave the Scorpions a slender 4-3 lead at the interval. Rockets came out with a steely determination after the break and rampantly punished the Scorpions’ many unforced errors in their first home league match of the season, winning the second half 7-0. Men of the match were Jonny Johnston 3/3 and Davy Blair 3/3.
Undefeated Galacticos travelled to Bowlers who have yet to secure a point. A flattering first half score line of 0-7 in favour of Galacticos appeared at half time, though reports are that many of the frames could have gone either way. Gary Wallace took his second frame of the night and secured another three points for the league leaders.
Rab Carson finally got a frame on the board for Bowlers and Tommy Hutton gave a great account of himself on his debut but captain Derek Whiteside eventually took the win. Glen Colwell added another for the Bowlers before the remainder of frames went to the champions elect.
