Fulford recorded the first 7-0 victory of the season in the York Conservative Clubs’ Faber Shield Billiards League as they trounced a depleted Bootham ‘A’.
The Fulford winners were Terry Ward (25 break), Richard Stroughair (25), Tim Lister, Jeff Brown, Bob Plant and a walk-over by Roger Gibson.
Leaders Heworth were 5-2 winners over Bootham ‘B’ as Gary Rogers recorded the season’s highest break of 73.
Bootham’s Alf Appleby and Lionel Barnes (20) won the first and last games but, in between, Rogers (30, 36, 24, 73 and 28), Mark Winskill, Steve Burdett and Jason Milner (20, 20) sealed the win.
Fulford then surprisingly lost 5-2 to Acomb, who had previously won only one match in six.
Wayne Puleston and Alan Reed put Fulford ahead, but Acomb responded through Ken Bowser, John Ashwell, Ian Gillies and Barry Manson to severely damage Fulford’s title ambitions.
