Alan Caulton travelled to Spot On Hucknall to challenge Darryl Clarke. Darryl certainly started the better and potted better than Alan throughout the match, but after four frames the match was level at 2-2. In the deciding frame both players missed chances and Alan needed a snooker going into the colours. He got out of a couple of snookers from Darryl and then managed to play good safety, leaving the blue and cueball tight on opposite cushions. Darryl missed the blue and Alan cleared the table to pinch frame and match on the black. An impressive win for Alan who fell over 40 points behind in the two of the frames he won. He climbs to 23rd position, four places higher than where he started the season.

Ben Green successfully defended 20th position thanks to a 3-2 victory over Moe Anyanwu. Moe won a high quality opening frame with the help of a nice 35 break. Ben then won a close second frame which was "more like a game of tennis". On to frame three and to quote Moe "Moe can’t cue. Moe can’t play safe. Moe forgets how to pot balls. Moe plays rubbish and misses more in one frame than he has in total all season. Moe is too tired to tip the table up!". Needless to say, Ben won the frame to take a 2-1 lead. After heading off to Argos to buy a new cue action, Moe returned for frame four. Ben had a run of 24 but Moe replied with breaks of 34 and 26 which were enough to level the match at 2-2. "Argos is the way forward" says Moe. In the deciding frame "Moe sits down a lot. Moe don’t get many chances. Moe picks balls out of pockets a lot. Moe is definitely becoming a good referee. Moe does not pot a ball until nearly 50 points to 0 behind due to Argos failing him.". Ben played well in the decider, potting some great balls to secure a 3-2 win. After the match, Moe said "I decided to drop off the new cue action back at Argos and get a refund. It's been a great snooker ladder season and I'll come back better than ever next season!".

Robert Garratt and Shane Fella were involved in a terrific match. Both players started strongly, cueing well and playing some good safety, but it was Shane who edged two very close frames to lead 2-0. In the next frame it was nip and tuck but Robert managed to come out on top for 2-1. It was a crazy end to the fourth frame. Shane was roughly 15 up with 18 on and Robert was faced with a straight blue, but very tough with the pink on the rail and the black over the opposite bottom bag. He cued the blue really well but it jawed and went across to the other bag only to hit the black and go into the bag dead weight. This then left him a double on the pink which he nailed into the top bag and came down to leave a difficult black. He maintained his composure to pot the black and make it 2-2. Shane then won the next frame to make it 3-2 and Robert went to get a drink thinking "how am I not 3-2 ahead?". "The sixth frame was crazy" to quote Robert. He went 29 points behind with 27 on the table, but he battled back incredibly well to the black by getting the snooker he required. Shane had a thin black to win the match and he potted it but the white somehow found the top bag to hand the frame to Robert and make it 3-3. "Unbelievable Jeff" said Robert. Shane played some very good safety in the decider which left Robert with no choice but to push the boat out a little. Robert fell lucky a few times by not leaving anything easy but once he got in he didn't make many mistakes and he played a very good final frame to take the match 4-3. An excellent match which Shane could have won if it wasn't for that in-off, but that's why we love snooker! Robert remains 27th and Shane 39th.

Wayne Martin defeated Dan Moll 3-0 but Dan had chances to win the second frame. In the third frame, Wayne started with a run of 28. Dan replied with a 25 but he missed an easy pink on a run of 19 and Wayne cleared to the pink with nice 38 break. Wayne holds on to 8th position.

I have now processed the final challenge forms of the season and there are 16 matches pending.

I will continue to publish an updated Ladder the day after any matches have been played.

Once all 16 matches have been played I will publish the final Ladder.

I will then review the Ladder and Player Statistics and publish a final season report which will detail the trophy winners and prize money allocations.

Attached is the updated Ladder following yesterday's matches.
