Camps2 have moved to the top of division one after a hard-fought 7-5 win against Crown1 in week ten of the Wick & District Pool League season. With the match tied at 2-2, an outstanding total clearance by Alec Thompson put Camps2 ahead at 3-2 and on their way to victory. The defending champions went on to take a 6-3 lead, but great play from Alan Larnach and Stevie Cunningham helped keep the Crown in the match at 6-4. David Hendry and Derek Johnston combined well in the next doubles frame for Camps2, with Hendry cutting in a tough black to clinch the win.
