PIERPOINTS lost 9-6 at British Plate in the Manchester Premier League.
The outcome was looking quite bleak with Pierpoints achieving only one winner from the first seven blocks but excellent performances at the back end produced a fair result at one of the more difficult greens in the league.
John Gatley was in great form, winning 21-8.
Next week's match is at home to Manchester side Tottington.
