High-fives as Moss stretch advantage
MOSS Inn stormed six points clear of Oldham Acadamy ‘B’ in the Manchester Three-Man Summer League with a comprehensive 5-1 win at Riley’s Belle Vue ‘B’.
First to the table was Mick Dickenson, who knocked in a break of 37, only for his opponent to clinch victory by clearing up the colours.
Dickenson recovered to win frame two with a 38-break, and Moss did not look back.
In-form Michael Wild had scores of 38 in the first and 42 in the second to put the visitors 3-1 in front.
Last to the table was Mick Webb, who extended his side’s lead with a break of 29 and a 47 clearance.
And Webb made no mistake in the last frame of the evening, producing a fine break of 57.
Moss have no game tomorrow.
