THE Ivy Leaf Club won the Milnthorpe and District Snooker League champ- ionship with a week to spare.

Because Ivy Leaf were on a bye for the final week, to wrap up the first division title they had to win away at Peppers B, who were previously unbeaten at home this season.

Ivy Leaf managed a 4-2 victory against Peppers for a seven-point lead at the top of the table, ahead of Peppers B and Milnthorpe A.

It was just sufficient in the end to secure the honours by virtue of a better aggregate over the teams behind them.
