Seventeen ton plusses rained down from the arm of Scott Wapshott, who led Tradesmans to a 9-2 Monday Premier League win at Colebrook.

Wapshott was supported by both Simon Washington and Fred Goldsmith, who reached ten three figure scores, whilst Zak Smith added eleven for the defeated side.

Amongst Smith's total was a 100 checkout that was only bettered by Goldsmith's 106, and Smith also joined teammate Jon Crotty in hitting a maximum.

Octagon A's 7-4 win at Legends Lounge was dominated by a sixteen ton haul from Lee Hellings, who had Dave Matthews backing him up with fourteen more three figure visits.

Hellings and Matthews' stablemates Paul Hendy and Paul Palmer also ended their evening in double figures for tons as Hendy's eleven narrowly bettered Palmer's ten.

As the scoreline suggests, it wasn't all one way traffic as Sean Taylor and Lewis Byrne both made it to the eleven mark for the defeated party.

Byrne added two of his team's four maximums to Taylor and Tom Graham's solitary effort, whilst Hellings was the only maximum hitter for the away team

Of the four ton plus outshots, Taylor's 160 was the best, and he added a 117 to that effort, and sandwiched in between those was a 150 from Byrne, whilst Alfie Ford's 116 had to settle for fourth best.

In the individual phase, Hendy's 17 darter lit up his 3-1 win, which came before a Byrne 17 dart leg that proved crucial in a 3-2 success.

Ford's aforementioned finish came in a 3-1 defeat to Taylor, which saw the victor take out a pair of 16 dart legs on his way to success.

Glenn Halford added as many as thirteen ton plusses but still found himself on the wrong end of a 6-5 scoreline as Bluebird B were downed by Cherry Tree B.

Halford was supported well in the scoring phase by Dale Halford, who bagged a 180 on his way to eleven tons, whilst Lee Roberts meandered his way to ten scores of a ton or more.

Marc Webber provided the ammunition for the victory with eleven tons, and Nick Miller ended his night with a ten ton haul.

The Cherry on top of Miller's tally was a 117 checkout that was only bettered by a 130 from Glenn Austin, whilst Webber's 3-1 win that decided the match in the final singles was accentuated by a 13 darter.

Twelve scores of a ton or more from Andrew Cook drove King Billy's push to an 8-3 home win against Indian Inn, for whom Harry Bull added eleven tons.

Bull was amongst the 180 hitters in the match, with the four shared amongst Cook's teammates as Scott Cook and Paul Gavican added to a brace from Mark Sleet.

At the business end, Scott Cook buried a 112 checkout in his 3-0 singles before Gavican and Paul Goundry also shone with 3-0 wins that contained respective 15 and 17 darters.
