Simon Stevenson (31.31) put together a pair of 14 darters in his 3-0 win and twenty-two ton plusses overall, but still found himself on the wrong end of a 9-2 Plymouth City Super League Division A loss.



His Legends Lounge B team also had Mark Gilbery firing on all cylinders in the heavy loss at Cherry Tree A, with sixteen scores of a ton or more.


Lee Hellings (26.59) also performed admirably in the individual phase with two 17 darters and a 180 during a 3-1 success.



The big win was built on Hellings' fourteen ton plusses, and twelve from each of John Mann, Andy Bates, and Neil White.


Mann and Bates paired well together in the doubles phase with a 21 darter over the 601 distance and a 110 out from Mann, providing enough ammunition to give them a 2-1 win.



Hellings and Alfie Ford bettered that aforementioned leg with an 18 darter over the same distance in another 2-1 victory, before White and Fred Goldsmith completed a 5-0 whitewash with a third 2-1 win.


In that particular battle, Goldsmith put up the second 110 out shot of the contest, which meant Bates' 102 and an 81 from Stevenson had to settle for third and fourth best overall.



Cameron O'Brien's fifteen three figure visits came in an 8-3 win for Cherry Tree C when hosting the visitors from Tradesmans.


Lewis Byrne's ten tons was the best contribution for the away side, whilst teammates Chris Edgecombe and Simon Washington both provided 180s.



O'Brien's teammate Frankie Stout added the only noteworthy contribution to the contest at the business end of legs with a 96 combination outshot.


Steampacket's 7-4 loss against Firkin Scholar saw George Beckett fire as many as fourteen ton plusses, including one of the two maximums in the game.



Beckett also helped himself to 17 and 18 darters in his 3-0 singles success, whilst Stephen Ebsworth bagged his team's only maximum of the contest.


Ebsworth's stablemate, Archie Borlaise, put together a 96 single visit combination out shot that gave him the honour of the highest finish in the game.



Fourteen tons rained down from the arms of Dan Brazier and Mike Whatley to lead Ford Inn to a 9-2 win at Fawn A.


Both Brazier and Whatley added 180s to three treble visits from teammates Lee Rodmell and Paul Gavican in the rout.



Four finishes above 90 were pummelled home in the contest, with the best of those coming from Whatley with a 114 kill.


Mark Shears nailed a 106, whilst Mike Trim's 92 for the hosts narrowly bettered a 91 from Rodmell, whilst both Shears and Brazier won 3-1, thanks in part to legs in 16 and 17 darts respectively.

Dave Matthews popped 160 in a single visit to claim the highest checkout prize for the week and joint best of the season in a 7-4 loss for Raffles B at Bluebird B.


Dan Hurley did almost all of the damage for the victors with thirteen three figure visits throughout the match and also helped himself to the biggest checkout amongst his cohort of 78.



Matthews' teammate Harry Bull put up a 180 on his way to ten ton plusses, whilst Matthews and Danny Bull joined him in achieving a maximum.


Falstaff's 8-3 win over Cherry Tree D was impacted by Kelvin Rowe's twelve scores of a ton or more, whilst three of the four maximums in the game came from his teammates.



Quinton Taylor, Scott Cook, and Tony Tasker all received '180' calls after throwing, with Nick Bryant completing the quartet with his team's only maximum.


Bryant also showed his class with a 3-1 win that saw a leg tumble after throwing 15 darts, whilst 96 and 98 checkouts were provided by Tasker and Bryant's teammate Dave Lee, respectively.



Lee Roberts added a 157 checkout to his ten ton tally that came during a 6-5 loss for Bluebird A at Raffles A, with Alex Truscott the hero of the hour, winning the final game 3-0.


Truscott also put up a 76 checkout, whilst the best leg of 601 in the contest was provided by the pairing of Lewis Dare and Adam Truscott.



Glenn Austin's 17 darter proved to be crucial in deciding a 3-2 win, and Glenn Halford's leg in 15 adorned a 3-1 win for him.


Six 180s in the tie were put together with Halford adding a brace to a hat-trick from Dale Halford and a solitary effort from Tyler Borthwick.



180s from Paul Carpenter, Dave Johns, and Mike Tucker lit up Kings Arms B's 11-0 win at Duchy A, which also saw some sharpshooting at the business end from the visitors.


Carpenter nailed a 107 combination outshot and a leg in 16 darts during his 3-1 win over Jordan Heath, who himself notched his team's only maximum in the defeat.



Simon Kelly was also at his majestic best with a 3-0 individual triumph that contained his team's second 16 darter of the night.


180s from Ryan Harris and Paul Tackle came in an 8-3 win for Tackle's Ker St A in a visit to Harris' Legends Lounge A.



A 3-0 success for Liam Taylor saw a leg tumble when he finished at the first time of asking from 83 to give him the best checkout of all thirty outshots of the evening.
