A Load Of Bull Not Enough As Octagon Triumph

Danny Bull found his very best form with twelve tons in a 9-2 Monday Premier League defeat for Indian Inn versus Octagon A.

Along the way, Bull fired the best checkout of 154 that narrowly bettered a 108 from the victor's twelve ton hitter Simon Wilbraham.

Ten tons also fell the way of Bull's teammate and son, Harry Bull, and Paul Palmer, whilst Wilbraham put his name amongst the five maximums with a solitary effort.

Palmer topped his ton total up with one maxi, and Lee Hellings completed the three treble visit scoring for the away side with a brace.

Dave Matthews was the solitary 180 hitter for the defeated home side, whilst the two Bulls teamed to put away 601 legs in 18 and 19 darts for a single dart average of 32.49.

Hellings undid the senior of the two Bulls in the individual phase as he won 3-0, thanks in part to a 17 darter over the 501 distance.

Andrew Cook and Robbie Bisgrove both heard scores of a ton or more called no fewer than ten times as Cook's King Billy bettered Bisgrove's Octagon B by a 7-4 scoreline.

Bisgrove added a 180 to an effort from Cook's teammate Ant Pearn, whilst Cook helped himself to legs of 17 and 18 darts in his 3-0 win.

Scott Cook (25.91) added a 130 checkout in a leg that came in 18 darts during another 3-0 triumph that put the cherry on top of the victory.

Ten tons from Nick Miller included a 180, but he still found himself on the wrong end of a 6-5 loss in the Cherry Tree derby as A defeated B 6-5 thanks to a last-gasp 3-1 win for Matt Nicholson.

Miller's teammate Marc Webber fired two maximums and also checked a leg in 17 during his 3-1 singles loss, whilst Dave Lee nailed a 103 checkout in a 3-0 triumph.

An 8-3 win for Colebrook at Bluebird A was lit up by Zak Smith's ten tons, a 16 dart leg from Karl Arrowsmith, and an 88 checkout by Dave Reed.

Fred Goldsmith added a 102 checkout to his ten ton haul in a 10-1 win for Tradesmans at Legends Lounge as the 180s in the match were shared between the two teams with Scott Wapshott and Tommy Graham hitting.
