ROB ARMITAGE was in blistering form on the billiards table in the latest round of Open League fixtures.

The Springwood BC star was giving away 130 points start to New Mill’s John Bowden, but he made light of the handicap by producing stunning breaks of 78, 87 and then ran out with an
unfinished 57.

It was the most outstanding series of breaks in any one frame so far this season and helped Springwood to a 3-0 victory over New Mill B team.

There was another consistent performance from Huddersfield billiards champion Matthew Peaker, who made breaks of 68, 61 and 40, although on this occasion it still wasn’t good enough to deny his opponent Peter Stanyer who won by 11 as New Mill’s A team beat Brockholes 2-1.
