SS&NR claimed their second league win of the season with a solid 7–5 home victory over NRS, after the match was finely poised at 5–5 after ten frames.

SS&NR made the stronger start, racing into a 4–1 lead, with Jason Willerby the only NRS player on the scoresheet early on as he overcame Joe Byrne.

NRS then mounted a strong comeback in the second half, taking the first four frames to level the match. However, Paul Fisher edged the 'battle of the Pauls' by defeating Paul Cutler before SS&NR Captain Wayne Timbrell sealed the win, dispatching debutant and Jason’s son - Freddy Willerby.

A valuable win for SS&NR that boosts their fight for safety, though with only a few weeks remaining, it remains a tough challenge.

After last week’s excellent draw against the Three Tuns, Shepperton Sports went into this fixture full of confidence. However, despite the match being level after ten frames, they were unable to hold on for a draw or snatch a win, eventually slipping to defeat and falling 15 points adrift in the battle to avoid relegation.

The opening six frames were evenly shared, with wins for Shepperton Sports coming from Lito Estrella, Allyn Sutton and Gary Weltiner, while Staines Cons D replied through Daniel Elsey, Mark Harmes and Tony Sparrow.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with little to separate the sides until a superb reverse dish in frame nine from Marcus Cummings, who defeated Allyn Sutton in style. Terry Linacer then pulled one back for Shepperton to level the match, but wins from Daniel Elsey and Tony Sparrow sealed victory for Staines Cons D, keeping them firmly in fourth place.

This was a match that would significantly boost one team’s promotion push while dealing a blow to the other as the season edges towards its conclusion. In the end, it was Egham & Hythe Youth who claimed the bragging rights and a crucial 2 bonus points, securing a hard‑fought 7–5 win over a steady Staines Cons New side to move up to second place.

Captained by Dexter Reilly, Egham & Hythe Youth opted to mix things up this week, cleverly utilising league rules to group players together. Mark Court, Dexter Reilly, Max James and Dan Reilly all played back‑to‑back, each taking advantage of the maximum number of frames permitted.

Early on, the tactic didn’t appear to be paying dividends, with the match finely balanced at 3–3 after six frames. However, late arrival Dan Reilly proved influential, winning two of his three frames to give his side momentum.

Steve Kent was the standout performer for Staines Cons New, defeating both father and son - Dexter Reilly in frame four and Dan Reilly in frame nine. His celebrations suggested Chelsea had just scored, although while celebrating his win over Dan, Brighton grabbed a third against the Blues, quickly dampening the mood.

Back to the pool table, with the score at 6–5, it took a composed and mature performance from the experienced old boy Mark Court, who overcame Perry Baker to seal the victory for Egham & Hythe Youth and lift them into second place.

Sunbury Con Club A came into this fixture on the back of four consecutive wins, firmly thrusting themselves into the promotion picture with every match now carrying extra importance. However, this was not their night. Missing Captain Russell Cooper, and up against a a motivated London Stone team, Sunbury saw their promotion push dealt a huge blow as London Stone secured an emphatic 8-4 victory.

London Stone made a blistering start, racing into a 5–1 lead after the opening six frames. Sunbury’s sole success in that spell came from debutant David Llewellyn, drafted in for the injured Russell Cooper.

Sunbury Con Club A did respond with wins from John Ward and Kevin Pallett to give themselves a glimmer of hope, but London Stone finished strongly. Victories from Chris Butler, Callum Godfrey and Nick McDonald sealed a convincing 8–4 win.

Sunbury Con Club A now find themselves four points off second place and five behind the leaders with just three games remaining - leaving everything still to play for.
