Looe Pool League Division Two latest round-up week nine - Sunday, December 15

LEGION B produced a fine comeback to shock second-placed Barbican.

Barbican did go 2-0 up thanks to whitewash victories for Steve Graham and Scott Wright.

But Legion took the next three games and the match along with two unbeaten player records as Justin Woods and Si Hunt went down without reply to Dean Short and Phil Cunningham. In the last, Mike Beck sealed the victory by defeating Matt Wright to nil.

Leaders JJ’s Pooligans kept their foot on the gas in their quest to get promoted as they played host to Harbour Moon. That said every game went the distance in a game that could have gone either way.

However, Elliot Keen, Aaron Rix, Tiago Bond, Kierran Bond and Denham Guild all held their nerve.

Legion A moved from fifth to third in the table as they welcomed JJ’s C-Men who dropped to fifth after going down at the fortress Legion.

The Polperro side raced into a 3-0 lead thanks to Sue Jones, Darren Thomas and Logan Singleton.

Jamie Wright stopped the charge briefly, but Stuart Devoy topped off the victory taking out Mike Busby.

The Ship Looe came close again to registering their first victory of the season when they travelled over the Polbathic to take on the Halfway Crooks.

Matt Olver and Duane Elliott put the hosts 2-0 up, which included the latter registering an eight ball finish.

Claire Henwood pulled one back for the visitors in a decider, but Mike Prowse saw the Crooks home against Ollie Palmer in the next.

Josh made it a good night for the Henwoods in the last to salvage another point for the Ship.
