Fusion Aces vs St Anthonys A

Match Information

Fusion Aces 6 – 1 St Anthonys A

There doesnt seem to be any letting up from the Division 2 leaders as Fusion Aces made it ten from ten in the league, and  two from two against St Anthonys A with a repeat of their 6–1 win from a fortnight ago — this time on home turf at Fusion Sports, with a win in the gallon to boot.

Similarly to the previous game, Andy Brownhill kicked things off in style with a 3–1 win over a Paton – Mark this time –  firing in his second maimum of the season so far, while in game 2’s battle of the captains, Dave Wood made it 2–0 for Fusion with a steady 3–1 over Gary Molloy.

It was soon 3-0 after Fusion’s Andy McCormack got the better of Ian Paton by 3 legs to nil, and after the returning Geoff Talbot finally made an appearance outside the bottom divsion with a 3-1 defeat of Dom Batty in Game 4, the leaders had secured the win and the bonus points.

Carl Paton stopped the rot for the visitors hitting an impressive six tons during a 3–1 win over Darren Wood in Game 5,  but Iris Bannister restored the four-game cushion for the Aces with a 3–1 win over Alan Farrar in Game 6. With the match won at 5-1, it was left to Nigel Beeton to round off a strong night for the home side and he did just that, delivering a 3–1 victory against Shaun Gill, assisted by six tons, a 20 darter and a 68.40 average.

The Saints will be glad to see the back of the Division leaders, and can look forward to next weeks KO Shield last 16 fixture against Division 3’s Horseshoe, while the Division 2 leaders will be given their sternest test of their credentials so far with a a KO Cup last-16 fixture against another team of Saints – the reigning and (so far this season) undefeated Division 1 champions St Anthonys B.
