BACK-TO-BACK wins moved Clifton clear at the top of the Spectacular Driveways John Smith’s Sunday Pool League.

The leaders beat Mitre ‘B’ 9-0 and closest rivals Dringhouses ‘A’ 6-3.

Steve Scott senior and Steve Scott junior both recorded double wins in the 9-0 triumph, as did Ian Baxter and Jonny Mitchell.

Dringhouses ‘A’ now trail by seven points with a game in hand against their ‘B’ team.

An 8-1 win against Castle Howard Ox ensured they kept up the pressure at the top, although they then lost 6-3 to Clifton. The one bright moment was a seven-ball win for Nigel Macdonald over Steve Scott senior.

Mitre ‘A’ remain in third place following a 6-3 win over Corner House and a 9-0 victory over bottom side Dick Turpin.

Doubles for Dave Catlow, Chris Leaf and Phil Bean saw off Dick Turpin.
