A classic encounter between St Levans and King Billy was won by the former 6-5 in a last leg deciding leg win by Hayley Brant.
Brant got the better of youngster Frankie Stout 3-2 who had checked one of the two legs he won with a fine 111 kill.
That effort was only bettered by St Levans ten ton man Mike Pearce who added a 120 kill to his dectet of three figure efforts.

Burden also reached double figures in three figure scores after his 3-1 success in which a leg was won in 15 darts.
Unfortunately for the King Billy, that was the last contest they secured as Pearce won a leg in 15 darts in a 3-0 before Brant completed the comeback.
Mark Hatherley and Ian Heggie showed good form with ten tons each but still found themselves on the wrong side of a 9-2 defeat as Indian Inn were beaten by Kings Arms.

The Devonport side came away from this home game with the strange statistic of securing more 180s than points as Lewis Byrne and Andy Williams threw one each.
Billy Evans' ten ton haul was a shot in the arm of the Victory C's early title hopes as they claimed an 11-0 success over Duchy.
The cherry on the top of Evans' performance was three of the four maximums in the match with Jason Pinkerton providing the other.
Evans was also clinical in the finishing phase as he checked legs in 16 and 18 darts in a 3-2 individual win whilst Scott Wapshott's 138 checkout was the highest of any player in the league during this particular game week.
