Diamond Dazzlers’ encouraging start to the Ballymena Towers Pool League campaign came to a crashing halt last week.

Dazzlers, who were one of four teams within a point of the lead, suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat at the hands of Inbetweeners in the Minnesota clubrooms.

In the meeting of top versus bottom, leaders Michelin Masters, as expected, proved too strong for Moat Mad Dogs but the Harryville side did have the consolation of claiming their first point of the season in a 1-5 defeat.
