Mann Of The Match

John Mann (27.33) produced a stunning performance in which he nailed a 17 darter on his way to a 3-0 win that came in Tradesmans' Monday Premier League 11-0 over Cherry Tree A.

Mann's efforts outshone Lee Agar (25.47), who also managed a leg in 17 in another 3-0 triumph, whilst Mike O'Brien won by the same scoreline thanks in part to an 18 dart leg.

A 109 checkout accentuated Fred Goldsmith's 3-1 success before Matt Chegwin got as close as any amongst the away side to securing a point with an 18 darter coming in a 3-2 reversal.

In the scoring phase, Mann topped out at thirteen tons, and Agar almost matched that effort with a twelve ton haul of his own.

Goldsmith added the only maximum of the game to his eleven three figure visits, and Simon Washington made it four players from the victors to reach double figures with ten ton plusses.

Lee Hellings fired an unbeaten fifteen ton haul that contributed heavily to an 8-3 home win for Octagon A versus Colebrook.

Hellings' teammate Luke Johnson added ten tons to the affair whilst the four men from the visitors' cohort who reached double figures for ton plusses were led by Dan Giles and Nick Furneaux.

The pair notched eleven tons each, with Zak Smith and Jon Crotty both ending their evening on ten scores of a ton or more.

Smith was the only 180 hitter for his team, with a trio being found by the victors as Johnson joined Paul Palmer and Dave Matthews in achieving that feat.

At the business end of legs, the fireworks started with Hellings and Ford collecting a 20 darter over the 601 distance, which helped them to a 2-1 success.

Johnson and Paul Hendy also edged their pairs game 2-1, thanks to what turned out to be a crucial 75 kill from Johnson.

However, that effort was blown away for the high checkout honours by Palmer with a 123 outshot that was joined by legs in 18 and 13 darts in a 3-1 singles.

Crotty added 91 and 92 finishes to a brace of 17 darters that came in a 3-2 win as he became the only singles winner for the visitors.

Hellings ended his night with a 3-0 win that saw a leg put away in 15 darters before Matthews saved the best until last with a leg in 14 that rounded off his 3-0 triumph.

Twelve ton plusses rained down from the arm of Chris Edgecombe, which made a massive dent in Octagon B's 8-3 win at Indian Inn.

The 180s were shared between the two teams as Edgecombe and Harry Bull both fired a maximum each, whilst Edgecombe was amongst the headline makers at the business end.

Edgecombe notched a 110 checkout that was bettered twice by Dave Pethick and Jayden Dodd, who added 116 and 154 finishes, respectively.

A more modest 74 was added by Bull's teammate Danny Bull, whilst Dodd's 3-1 win and a 3-2 success by Robbie Bisgrove both contained legs in 18 darts.

The Cooks gave King Billy the ammunition they needed to secure a 9-2 win at Legends Lounge as Scott Cook's ten ton haul was only bettered by twelve more from Andrew Cook.

Both players added a 180 to their total, whilst the maxis from the opposition came from Dave Webb and Lewis Byrne in individual defeats against the two talismen.

Andrew Cook beat Webb 3-1 thanks to legs in 14 and 18 darts before Scott Cook edged his tie with Byrne with a 118 checkout and a leg in 15 darts proving crucial.

Bluebird B's derby day 9-2 win over Bluebird A was dominated by the scoring power of Dan Hurley, who ended the night on ten tons.

Hurley's teammates, Dale and Glenn Halford, both added 180s against their local rivals, whilst the singles brought about a flurry of great action.

Lee Roberts was a 3-1 winner thanks in part to a leg in 15 darts before Stuart Couling got his team's first point of the night with a 3-0 success that contained a 100 checkout.

Glenn Halford bagged a 17 darter, which sat nicely alongside his 180 as the top achievements of a 3-0 individual win.

Jon Parsons had to work hard for his 3-0 win and the designated 'away' team's second point with an 18 darter his best work before Hurley rounded off a successful night with a 3-1 triumph aided by a 17 dart victory.
