SWINDON Jesters A regained top spot in the Cuestars Junior Section Team Challenge after a hard-fought victory on home tables.
Liam O’Shea, Derrick Volante, Sam Weekes and Jodie Symes romped past title rivals Westbury A 5-1 in the semis of event four.
But the awesome foursome were pushed to the final black by Eastleigh Hustlers in the final.
With the score locked at 3-3, O’Shea was selected to play Hustlers’ Rob Henley in a tie break.
Needing the last two colours, Henley over-screwed the pink in a bid to gain position on the black, and went in off. O’Shea pounced on the chance to clinch victory.
With two tournaments to play, Jesters A lead defending champions Westbury A by a single point.
Eastleigh Untouchables thumped Jesters D 6-0 in the plate semi-final despite captain Lee Roling having to borrow a club cue after forgetting his own.
Jesters C lost out in a seventh-frame decider against Eastleigh in the final.
Event five of six is at Stoke Snooker Club, Gosport, on Sunday, March 28.
