AJ Delivers Knockout Blows

AJ Brunton's emphatic seventeen ton plusses came in a Plymouth City Super League Division A 8-3 loss for Duchy A at Fawn A.

Brunton's tally saw ton plus checkouts of 118 and 140, which bettered a 100 from Reg Matthews for the home side, whilst Jack Heath added the only maximum of the matchup.

Mike Trim and Bill Scannell provided the platform for the victory as the pair both ended their night on ten ton plusses.

Craig Hillary found fourteen scores of a ton or more for Raffles A, who were 7-4 better than Bluebird B in a high scoring contest.

Tyler Borthwick was also in good form as he reached eleven ton plusses to provide good support for Hillary with a haul that included a 140 checkout and a 180.

Simon Wilbraham added a 121 checkout and a second maximum for the victors, with Nige Bassett firing one back for the defeated party.

Will Broome top scored with twelve tons for the away team, and he also helped himself to an 85 checkout that was the best amongst his cohort.

Hillary and Borthwick teamed well together in the doubles phase as the pair's combined scoring power produced a 20 dart leg over the 601 distance.

Borthwick and Hillary both continued their form into the singles as Borthwick bagged a 3-0 win with a leg in 18 his best, whilst Hillary was a 3-1 winner thanks in part to a 17 darter.

Fourteen rained down from the arm of Zak Smith, and there were thirteen more from Nathan Langdon, but that mammoth effort couldn't arrest Cherry Tree C's slide to an 8-3 loss versus Falstaff.

Tony Tasker was at the heart of everything good provided by the victors as he reached thirteen tons, thanks in part to a 180.

Teammate Paul Goundry ended his stint at the oche with twelve tons, whilst Quinton Taylor found ten scores of a ton or more overall.

At the business end, Scott Cook's 119 combination out was the best checkout of the night, whilst Langdon found legs in 16 and 18 darts during a 3-2 reversal against Taylor.

A thirteen ton haul from Marc Webber and ten more from George Beckett couldn't arrest Steampacket's slide to a 6-5 loss versus Kings Arms B.

Beckett sealed his ton total with two of the four maximums in the contest as Mike Tucker and Steve Mills fired back for the victors.

Simon Kelly provided the ammunition for the victory with twelve ton plusses, and he was supported by Dave Johns' ten scores of a ton or more.

A checkout of 113 from Tucker meant Beckett's 93 combination had to settle for second best in the contest, whilst Kelly and Tucker paired for a 601 leg that was put away in 20 darts.

Johns netted a leg in 18 in a 3-2 loss to Beckett, but the last laugh was had by Mills as he ran out a 3-0 winner in the final singles to give the away side the victory.

Glenn Austin fired eleven ton plusses for Bluebird A, but still ended on the wrong side of a 6-5 loss as Cherry Tree D had Luke Johnson winning the match in a 3-0 final singles success.

Austin's teammate, Glenn Halford, added two 180s to his 93 checkout that was bettered by Johnson's stablemate, Keith Carter, with a 98 kill.

Dale Halford made it three maximums for the hosts, whilst Johnson bagged the only three treble visit of the contest.

A 3-0 triumph for Austin saw him plunder a leg in 16 darts as he walked away from the oche with a very fruitful night personally, if not for the team.
