WITH just two matches of the normal season remaining – including tonight’s fixtures – Adrian O’Connor still leads the hunt for the top break of the season with a mark of 70.

This week’s efforts were pretty modest, with Richard Steer’s 37 the best of the bunch as Berry Brow Liberal Club’s A team whitewashed New Mill A 4-0, while Matthew Steer had 33.

Elsewhere, Trevor Liversidge made a break of 35 as the season reaches its climax.

On the Billiards front, Matthew Peaker had breaks of 62, 52 and 45 but still lost out to veteran John Ingleby, while Mick Stocks also had multiple breaks of 56, 44 and 36 as he defeated Paul Rayner as the Open Billiards League reached a conclusion.
