MIKE Chester was disappointed to fire in a break of 80 in the latest round of Warrington Snooker League games.

He still lost his frame 105-112 against Bernie Edmonds. Despite that, GTBL A won 4-3 against Alford D.

Some excellent performances this week were led by James Short hitting an 84 clearance against Jeff Robinson as Irlam Cons defeated Earlestown Cons 4-3.

Irlam Catholic maintained top spot by winning 6-1 against Culcheth Legion but only four points separate the top five teams.

In Division Two, James Frith made light of his handicap change, hitting the Division Two highest break of 67 against Albert Ashurst as GESM C beat Alford B 5-2.

Penketh Tavern remain clear at the top despite not playing.

Kings Club kept up the pressure at the top of Division Three, winning 6-1 at Roosters D and keeping them four points ahead of Monks C, who beat Penketh Cons 5-2.
