Mann Of The Hour

John Mann (25.47) produced some of the old magic in the Monday Premier League with an 18 darter in his 3-0 win that was the highlight of Tradesmans 11-0 win at Cherry Tree A.

Teammate Mike O'Brien added the first 18 dart leg of the contest in his 3-0 whilst Lee Agar's leg in 17 was the best of the matchup.

Mann and Agar both reached ten tons apiece but it was O'Brien who took the top scoring honour with twelve three figure visits.

O'Brien topped that tally up with a high checkout of 112 whilst stablemate Simon Washington added two 180s to Matt Chegwin's solitary effort for the defeated team.

Zak Smith was unlucky to end on the wrong side of an 8-3 after firing thirteen ton plusses during Colebrook's loss versus Octagon A.

Teammate Andy Bond meandered to eleven three figure visits whilst the win for the away team was built on strong scoring foundations.

Paul Hendy did most of the damage with eleven tons whilst Paul Palmer provided the supporting role with a ten ton haul.

The highlights of the ton totals of both Palmer and Bond were topped up by 180s and there was two more for the victors as both Alfie Ford and Dave Matthews showed their prowess.

At the business end of legs, the standout moment was a 110 checkout by Sean Burkitt, which was the best combination of all thirty-five finishes in the game.

Andrew Cook's thirteen ton haul for King Billy during their 7-4 home win over Legends Lounge wasn't beaten by any of the twelve on display.

Two of Cook's teammates put on twelve ton hauls as Paul Goundry and Ant Pearn both reached that total to play a more than decent second fiddle to the main man.

The man who beat Cook in the individual phase 3-2, Sean Taylor, did so with what turned out to be a crucial 18 dart leg and ended his night on twelve ton plusses of his own.

Scott Cook nailed an 18 darter of his own during another 3-2 win whilst Taylor's teammate Tommy Graham bagged himself a 112 outshot.

Bluebird B's 11-0 win in the Bluebird derby saw Dale Halford contribute heavily after hearing scores of a ton or more called no fewer than twelve times.

Dan Hurley's 180 for the victors was the only one of its kind, and he added a 113 checkout that was beaten twice by his teammate Glenn Halford, who secured 115 and 140 kills.

Eleven tons for Jayden Dodd gave Octagon B and specifically Chris Edgecombe the platform to claim a 6-5 win on the final game against Indian Inn.

Dodd fired a 180 in amongst that total and checked a leg in 18 during his 3-0 win that made it 5-5 going into the last rubber.

Edgecombe held his nerve to comfortably take a 3-0 win with a 17 darter his best during the deciding singles matchup.
