------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Premier League 🏆:
🎱 Bagster House (4th) vs Staines Con Club (3rd): There was nothing to separate the two sides in this electrifying clash, ending in a dramatic 6–6 draw. Bagster came out firing, with Charlie Pinfield and Vernon Asra giving their team an early 2–0 lead. But the momentum shifted when Steve Smith stepped up to halt the streak. Then came the resurgence - Jaff Singh found his rhythm, delivering a standout performance. He first took down Charlie Pinfield, and with the pressure on at 6–5 down, he rose to the occasion again, defeating Vernon Asra in the final match to level the score.
------------
🎱 Egham & Hythe C (5th) vs WR Sports A (2nd): Another thrilling result sees Egham & Hythe C notch up back-to-back draws, showing real grit and growing momentum. The spotlight was on new signing Phil Marriott, a name that might not ring bells for everyone - but he’s an ex-England player, and his arrival adds serious firepower to the squad. There was also a welcome return to form for Mark Court, who claimed his first dish of the season with a hard-fought win over Alan Wittekind - a much-needed boost after a challenging run. It looked like WR Sports were heading for another win, but Calvin Christian had other ideas, clawing it back to 6 -5 with a strong performance. Then, in a nail-biting final frame, Jason Willerby delivered a superb clearance to seal a dramatic 6-6 draw.
------------
🎱 Three Tuns A (1st) vs Egham Con Club (6th): Three Tuns are making a serious statement in the title race, delivering a commanding 9-3 win over bottom-of-the-table Egham Con Club to further cement their status as the team to beat. They came out flying, storming to a 5–1 lead early on. It was a night to forget for Joe Sims, who struggled to find his rhythm and dropped both of his matches. Meanwhile, James McCarthy continues his sensational season - still sitting top of the stats and having lost just one frame all season. His consistency is proving vital in Three Tuns’ title charge. The night was capped off in style with a break dish from Daz Wallace in the final frame, sealing a performance full of confidence and class.
------------
🔥 Leading Players:
🥇James McCarthy (Three Tuns A) - P:20 / W:19
🥈Tom Howick (WR Sports A) – P:25 / W:18
🥉 George Smith (Three Tuns A) – P:21 / W:16

Division 1 🏆🏆:
🎱 Egham & Hythe E (6th) vs Egham & Hythe F (3rd): Another local showdown delivered fireworks as Egham & Hythe F and Egham & Hythe E battled to a tense 6–6 draw. It looked like Egham & Hythe F had it in the bag, with Luke Emmett poised on the final black to seal the win. But fate had other plans - Luke missed a sitter, and Conor Doran coolly stepped in to snatch the frame and level the match. Some say Luke’s bottle let him down… and tonight might just back that up 😉. Despite missing their Star Man Danny Peters, Egham & Hythe E will see this as a big result-resilient, composed, and full of fight.
------------
🎱 London Stone (5th) vs Egham & Hythe A (1st): Egham & Hythe A are proving exactly why they’re top of the league and title favourites, delivering a confident 8–4 victory over London Stone. The night belonged to Gavin Fuidge, who was on fire-beating the in-form Ethan Coates twice and playing a key role in building an 8–2 lead for the league leaders. Gavin’s performance had fans saying Ethan finally got his “Coate” handed to him! 😄
Just when it looked like a rout, Danny Godfrey and Andy Hensen stepped up for London Stone, grabbing late wins over Neil Taylor Pullen and Gavin himself to stop the slide and close the gap to 8–4. Another strong showing from Egham & Hythe A, who continue to look every bit the champions in waiting.
------------
🎱 Sunbury Con Club (2nd) vs White Lion (4th): In a clash between two sides eyeing a return to the Premier League, it was White Lion who edged it with a hard-fought 7–5 victory. The match was finely poised at 3–3 after the opening six frames, setting the stage for a tense finish. But White Lion found another gear, pulling ahead to 7–4 before Ashley Steer stepped up and sealed the deal in the final frame with a composed win over Jamie Rafferty. A gritty performance and a big result that keeps White Lion’s promotion hopes very much alive and a night to forget for Darren Fuller who clearly had one eye on playing in the Friday Golf Roll Up after losing 3 from 3!

🥈Ashley Steer (Sunbury Con Club) – P:26 / W:19

Division 2 🏆🏆🏆:
🎱 Ashford Community (2nd) vs Virgina Water RBL (6th): Virginia Water faced a tough test against promotion-chasing Ashford Community, and it was the visitors who rose to the occasion in style. Star Man Tim Guichard was unstoppable, racking up three wins and delivering a break dish to cap off a dominant display. He wasn’t alone - Jack Arnold also shone brightly, going 3 for 3 with impressive victories over Chris Parr (twice) and Mick Streeter. Ashford’s momentum is building fast - they now sit level on points with Three Tuns B, and hold second place only on points difference. With performances like this, Division 1 is well within reach!
------------
🎱 Egham & Hythe B (1st) vs Three Tuns B (2nd): Another close match, another draw - the fourth of the night - but this one had its fair share of drama and a standout performance from Captain Shak Rahman. The match was evenly poised at 3–3 after the first six frames, with Three Tuns B edging ahead to 4–2. They pushed on to 6–4, but Egham & Hythe B weren’t done yet. Scott Devonport pulled one back with a solid win over Bob Bennett, making it 6–5. Then came the final frame. With everything on the line, Captain. Leader. Legend. Shak Rahman stepped up. After a costly mistake from Peter Kemp, Shak coolly cleared to seal the draw and his third win of the night. Rumour has it he even slipped Mark Court a cheeky fiver to make sure his name got the spotlight 😉. A thrilling finish and a performance that keeps Shak’s name firmly in the conversation.
------------
🎱 WR Sports B (5th) vs Egham & Hythe D (4th): Another night, another dish - this time courtesy of Steve Jones, who delivered a reverse dish in the final frame against Dave Jenkins to cap off a flawless performance, winning 3 out of 3. It was a strong showing from Egham & Hythe D, who turned the tide by taking 5 of the last 6 frames, sealing an impressive 8–4 win. With momentum building, they’re firmly on the rise and pushing hard to climb the Division 2 table.
