Big Fish Comes Shallow For Hal

A top-of-the-shop 170 finish was plundered by Glenn Halford in the Monday Premier League during a 7-4 win for Bluebird B at Indian Inn.

Halford added that to a 180, which made up a ten ton personal tally, whilst teammate Nick Perring also fired a three treble visit.

The other maxis went the way of the home team as Danny Bull's effort was added to by another for the home team from Alan Rowe.

The trio of Paul Palmer, Lee Hellings and Dave Matthews fired twelve tons each but still found themselves on the wrong side of a 7-4 loss as Octagon A were downed by Tradesmans.

Hellings' tally was ticked over to that mark by three of the five maximums between the two teams, with the two others going the way of the home side.

John Mann matched Scott Wapshott's feat, with the former going on to claim a ten ton haul for himself overall in the contest.

Simon Washington also showed his brilliance in the scoring phase when breaking into double figures for three figure visits.

Luke Johnson's 117 combination took the honours for the best checkout, which meant a 100 kill from Alec Turner had to settle for second best in that particular stat.

With so many talented players on display, it was inevitable that the individual phase would produce a phenomenal standard, and the first pairing of Palmer and Lee Agar didn't disappoint.

Palmer ran out a 3-1 winner with a 15 darter, his best, but not before Agar checked the solitary leg he won in just 18.

Hellings dispatched Washington 3-1 with 14 and 16 darters beating Washington's leg in 15 before Mann added a 17 dart leg during his 3-0 triumph.

Fred Goldsmith rounded off the quality affair with a 3-1 success with a brace of 18 darters that meant Johnson's 15 dart leg proved inconsequential on the result.

Chris Edgecombe fired eleven tons for Octagon B, but that total couldn't arrest his team's slide to a 7-4 loss at the hands of Cherry Tree B.

Edgecombe also showed his class at the business end of legs with a fine 17 darter during his 3-0 triumph, which helped secure another consolation point for the home team.

Whilst the spoils of the overall battle went the way of the away side, the only moment of magic from the team was a 115 checkout from the arm of Phil Taylor.

Sean Taylor made the difference for Legends Lounge with a ten ton haul that lead his team to a 6-5 win over Cherry Tree A.

Taylor showed his performance was more than just the scoring phase with a 17 dart leg and a checkout of 154 coming in a 3-1 singles success.

A 9-2 win for King Billy at Bluebird A was accented by Scott Cook's ten ton plusses, whilst three maximums rained down between the two teams.

Cook's teammates Paul Gavican and Ant Pearn joined Jon Parsons in achieving that feat, and Gavican also added a 100 checkout to his night's work.

Andrew Cook's 3-0 singles win proved to be the best individual performance as he plundered legs in 17 and 18 darts on his way to that triumph.
