It was a very good day for the Defenders yesterday with all four matches going their way.

Malc Grocock (18th) ended Ben Monk's 100% record with a terrific 3-2 victory that keeps Ben in 30th position.

Keith Holgate (10th) had a nice 53 break in his match against Dale Prime, but Dale played well to seal a 3-1 victory that keeps him in 6th position.

Lee Thorn (38th) beat Koen Hughes 3-1. Lee had a nice 33 break in the final frame. Koen remains 42nd.

Steve D'Arcy (33rd) won his first Ladder match of the season, a good 4-2 victory over Moe Anyanwu (37th). Steve was 3-0 ahead before Moe launched a comeback to make it 3-2. But Steve managed to edge the sixth frame for a much needed win.
