The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
It’s tight at the top of Division One in the Spalding and District Snooker League, with three points separating the top seven after six rounds of fixtures.
Pyramid A lead the way by a solitary point after seeing off club mates Pyramid D 5-1 in an all-Bourne affair, despite a 23 break from James Sharpe.
Just one point back are Pyramid C, who racked up a 6-0 success over Holbeach A. Spencer Dawkins starred in that one, with the O56 handicapper making a fantastic 54 break.
Level with them but sitting third are Boundary A, who picked up a 5-1 victory at Services A. In a game that was closer than the score suggests, Andy Mowforth (O7) reeled off a 33 break for the Deepings side.
Services C, meanwhile, lost ground on their rivals after a 4-2 defeat at Holbeach D. Ian Woodberry (R7) settled that one for his side with a final frame win over Kev Fitter (O28).
Elsewhere in the top tier, Bren Bowman (O56) made a 32 break but saw his Consti E side lose 4-2 at Holbeach C, while Stuart Atkin’s (O49) 35 clearance helped Sutton Bridge B sink Consti B 5-1.
In Division Two, table-topping Bourne SC C made it six wins from six as they saw off hosts Boundary B 5-1.
The early-season leaders are now a healthy eight points clear.

Holbeach B, meanwhile, climbed into the top five with a 5-1 win at Gosberton A.
At the other end of the table, Holbeach E grabbed a welcome win as Stuart Sullivan’s (O14) 22 clearance helped see off Sutton Bridge A 4-2.
