Patriots go through the 100pt mark after 11 matches

PORTERS Patriots went crashing through the 100-point barrier with an 11-0 whitewash of Waterloo in the Porters Function Room 501 Top 20 League, despite having to call in re-inforcements due to work commitments. The table-toppers had to include pub landlady Sharon Bishop in the line up and she didn’t disappoint, remaining undefeated throughout and only dropping one leg in a solid singles victory. Their total of 110 points from just 11 matches is an amazing achievement and they

PLYMOUTH’S rising protégé took another big step in his darting education when he competed in the Junior Darts Corporation’s two biggest tournaments of the year. The Plymouth Studio School pupil participated in both the European Darts Open and the WDS Associates Junior World Darts championship over two days at the Action Indoor Sports Arena in Bristol.

Record equalling feat for champion Stevenson

Record equalling feat for champion Stevenson

THE long-standing record of five Champion of Champions wins has been equalled. Simon Stevenson won his fifth title to clinch the 2017 crown, rivaling the record set by Flynn Jones between 1988 and 2003. Stevenson, who got his hands on the prestigious trophy for the first time in 2002, won it again in 2009, 2012 and 2014 before achieving the landmark on Sunday night at the Hyde Park Social Club in front of an appreciative audience. His assault on the record, that has stood for

Three shoulder tumours cuts short a promising career for City Social ace Cunningham on the oche

Three shoulder tumours cuts short a promising career for City Social ace Cunningham on the oche

IS Simon Cunningham the forgotten man of darts? The left hander was on the brink of making his way up the Professional Darts Corporation’s (PDC) rankings but he cruelly had his ambitions taken away when a tumour appeared in the shoulder of his throwing arm . . . not once, but three times. His love for the sport was nurtured at the City Social Club, Plymouth, in 1990 and despite being only 16 years of age, showed above average promise for one so young. He would practice as oft
