Pegasus B responed to last weeks opening day defeat with an excellent 6-2 victory over Oakleigh Lodge Social Club.  Steve 'The Force' Booth got the home leg going with a superb 30 odd point win over Jason Turner.  'The Force (TM)' grappled control of the frame with some quality safety to frustrate the dangerous Turner and scored freely from the forced errors to win an important frame comfortably. Andy Orange made it two wins on the spin to put Pegasus in the driving seat.  Orange raced into an early lead before a spirited fightback from Oakleigh Lodge Captain, Spider Wilkinson ensured a tight finish.  However, it was Orange who finished the stronger to see off Wilkinson on the colours for a good 52-41 frame win.  Oakleigh Lodge responded in the third frame with Steve Roe running out a comfortable winner against Pegasus youngster Chris Mathers to make it 2-1 before Wilkinson & Turner levelled the leg with victory in the pairs.  At Oakleigh a much improved Pegasus away performance ran out 4-0 winners to seal the points for the club.  Mike Langdon got his team off to a dream start, knocking in an excllent 45 break to see off Adam Robinson.  Eric Towle was impressive against Rob Selby in a 54-12 win which included a 19 break before Danny Knowles completed an emphatic singles performance with a comfortable win over Oakleigh's Tej Lees.  In the pairs frame Rob Selby looked in good touch as Oakleigh built up an early 20 point lead but Pegasus hit back with some solid potting.  It was Towle, who had looked the better of the Pegasus pair who finally sealed victory sinking Green, Brown and Blue to give Pegasus B their first win of the new season.
