If Anyone Can, Gavi Can

Zak Smith was also a twelve ton hitter but ended on the wrong side of the match result despite winning his individuals 3-0 with 16 and 17 darters his best.

Goundry's brilliant ton tally was propped up by checkouts of 123 and 108 whilst Scott Cook added the only three treble visit of the contest.

Ant Pearn was a third member of the Devonport side to reach double figures in tons as the tail end on his ten ton haul came in a 3-0 success that saw Pearn fire a 17 darter at his opponent.

Eleven tons by Jayden Dodd and Lee Hellings was the biggest total provided by any of the twelve players on display whilst four others made it to ten three figure scores.

Hellings also won in all five legs by a 3-2 score line with the help of an 18 darter whilst Taylor and Johnson were also winners by the odd leg in five.

Taylor's success came with an 18 darter his best whilst Johnson go the better of his opponent thanks in part to a leg in 17.

The best effort over the 601 distance came from Hellings and Palmer (27.32) who dispatched the aforementioned duo 2-0 with both legs coming in 22 darts.

King Billy A were led to a 9-2 success over Cherry Tree A by the eleven tons scored by Andrew Cook in the triumph.

Cook's teammate Antony Hayman fired one of the two maximums in the match with Paul Freeman hitting the other for the home side's only moment of magic in the game overall.

Glenn Austin's ten tons during a 7-4 win for Bluebird B over Cherry Tree B were joined by three distinct moments of brilliance from Glenn Halford.

Halford's 140 checkout was the best of the week's fixtures and was joined by the only maximum of the match, as well as a 17 darter in his 3-0 success.

Harry Bull lit up Indian Inn's 8-3 success over Bluebird A with two 180s and a high checkout of 124, which narrowly bettered a 123 from teammate Pete Cornish.

The other three treble visits were shared between the two sides as Lee Wyatt and Owen Cook both put a solitary effort onto the scoreboard.
