Salisbury mean business as Sketty get a cup mauling
THE first round of the 7-Man Cup took place in the Absolute Snooker Swansea Clubs League.
In division one, last year's runners-up Salisbury A were home to Sketty Club and the visitors could be forgiven for wondering what they had done to deserve what can only be described as a mauling as they lost 3-0.
Marcel Price started the onslaught with a 44 break in the opening frame, Kristian Phelps then knocked in a 62 break to take frame two, and Tom Rees finished the match with a 58.
Penlan A caused something of a surprise when they hosted an in-form Swansea Dockers A. The home side won the opening two frames on the black before Mark Blyth gave Dockers some hope by taking frame three.
