Shine White Like A Diamond

Raffles Diamonds' 8-3 Plymouth City Super League Division A win versus local rivals Raffles B saw Neil White (27.33) win 3-0 with legs in 16 and 17 darts.

White also top scored with twelve ton plusses, and was supported well by John Mann and Lee Hellings, who both netted ten ton hauls.

Mann's tally was ticked over to that mark by the two maximums in the matchup, whilst Danny Bull fired back ten tons of his own for the defeated hosts.

Mann teamed with Fred Goldsmith (27.95) to put away two 601 legs in 24 and 19 darts before Alfie Ford, and Andy Bates (31.63) secured another 2-0 win over the same distance with legs in 20 and 18 darts.

Bates also helped himself to the highest checkout of the contest prize as he put together an 86 single visit combination.

Nick Bryant (27.33) checked a leg in 17 darts on his way to an emphatic 3-0 singles success that came during an 8-3 victory for Falstaff B against Fawn A.

Dave Lee was also in good form with a leg in 16 darts, his best during a 3-1 triumph, whilst opponent Bill Scannell secured a 17 darter in the only leg he won during that particular contest.

Phil Hoyle was a 3-2 winner thanks to a crucial 94 checkout that usurped a 74 from Mike Trim in one of the two legs he won.

Mark Hempsall trumped both of those combinations with a 112, whilst Bryant and Scannell both added 180s for their respective teams.

That effort topped Bryant's ton total up to the twelve mark, which meant Lee's ten ton plusses had to settle for second best in that particular stat.

Steampacket's George Beckett (26.84) checked legs in 14 and 18 darts, and finished 158 in a single visit, on his way to a 3-0 victory that came in a 6-5 loss for his team at Tradesmans.

Rob May chalked up a 14 darter in a 3-1 loss before Lewis Byrne found an 18 dart leg during his 3-1 success that gave the hosts an unassailable 6-3 lead.

Beckett's heroics were followed by Kev Doel completing his ten ton haul during a 3-2 success that gave the scoreline some respectability.

Thirteen tons might've rained down from the arm of Glenn Austin, but he still found himself on the wrong side of a 9-2 loss as Bluebird were downed by Ford Inn.

Glenn Halford also chipped in with ten ton plusses for the defeated party, whilst Halford managed a leg in 16 darts during his 3-1 win and a 76 combination outshot.

Austin checked a leg in 18 darts in a 3-1 defeat to Mike Whatley, who also finished one leg in 18 darts, whilst Dale Halford was the only 180 hitter for the hosts.

At the heart of everything good from the away side was Dan Brazier, who added a maximum to his eleven scores of a ton or more.

Cameron O'Brien and Nathan Langdon both collected twelve ton plusses, and there were eleven more from Frankie Stout, but the trio ended on the wrong side of a 7-4 loss as Kings Arms B prevailed over Ship's Tavern.

Simon Stevenson supported Malinowski well with eleven tons overall, with both players adding 180s to their tallies.

The hosts contributed to a six strong maximum total as Archie Borlase added a brace to solitary efforts from Stephen Ebsworth and Rhys Castle.

Those efforts contributed to eleven ton hauls for both Castle and Borlase, whilst an 87 single visit combination outshot gave Borlase the highest checkout of the tie.

Malinowski opened the singles phase with a 3-2 win in which a 17 darter proved crucial before Castle was a 3-1 winner with legs in 17 and 18 darts helping his cause.
