🏆 Premier Division:
🎱 Egham Con Club (6) vs Bagster House (4): Egham Cons got sweet revenge for their opening night loss to Bagster House, grabbing their first win of the season in style! A fiery start saw them race to a 4-2 lead, with Daryl Sims setting the tone by overcoming Charlie Pinfield in frame 1.
