Simon Stevenson (29.47) romped to a 3-0 singles success in 15, 18 and 18 darts during an 11-0 Plymouth City Super League Division A victory for Legends Lounge A at Kings Arms A.

Thirteen scores of a ton or more from Stevenson gave him the top scoring player bragging rights, whilst teammate Ryan Fuller managed a twelve ton total.

Fuller also showed his undoubted class in the singles phase as he was a 3-0 winner with the help of a 14 dart leg.

Matt Vosper produced one of the three maximums his team struck to tick his own ton total over to the ten mark as Shaun Dring and Andy Malinowski also fired three treble visits.

Dave Algar added a solitary 180 for the defeated team and also managed a 71 checkout that was one of six big finishes in the affair.

Stevenson's 117 topped that chart, and he also matched Nick Miller's 101 combination, whilst Malinowski and Vosper put away respective 112 and 107 kills.

Nineteen ton plusses from Lewis Dare couldn't arrest Raffles A's slide to a 6-5 defeat at the hands of Ship's Tavern A.

Despite also ending on the wrong side of the defeat, Craig Hillary also managed thirteen ton plusses, whilst most of the heavy artillery from the away team came from Nathan Langdon's eleven tons.

Langdon's teammate, Steve Towl, ended his night on ten ton plusses, and the difference between the two players' ton total was a 110 outshot from Langdon that bettered a 101 by Dare.

Zak Smith started his life in the league with the game's only maximum and a 15 dart leg that all came in a 3-1 triumph.

The best leg outside of the individual phase of play saw Hillary team up with James Preen to put away 601 points in just 20 darts.

Champions, Raffles Diamonds, romped to an 11-0 win at Hyde Park, and at the heart of it was John Mann's sixteen scores of a ton or more.

Andy Bates left the oche with eleven tons, whilst Neil White was also in good nick with an eleven ton haul of his own.

Mann's tally was ticked over to that mark with a 135 checkout, as well as one of the five maximums overall, as White added to a trio from Lee Hellings.

Hellings notched two of those aforementioned efforts in a 3-0 singles success that contained a 17 dart singles leg, whilst Fred Goldsmith's 72 combo gave him one of his legs in another 3-0 victory.

Dale Halford added thirteen tons to Glenn Halford's ten ton haul as Rising Sun got off to an almost perfect start with a 10-1 win against Victoria.

Glenn Halford also contributed a 106 checkout and a 180, the latter of which came in a 3-1 singles success that also saw him plunder a leg in 15 darts.

Scott Lawrey fired as many as twelve three figure visits, which contributed to a 7-4 win for Falstaff A versus Steampacket.

Lawrey's teammate, Paul Goundry, reached ten scores of a ton or more, which was a total that included his side's only maximum.

Four three treble visits were fired back by the defeated team as Tony Reid, George Beckett, Phil Taylor and Kev Doel all contributed.

Goundry added a 71 checkout, which was only bettered by an 86 from Marc Webber, to his 16 dart leg that came in a 3-1 singles success, whilst a brace of 16 darters from Lawrey helped him to a 3-2 triumph.

Twelve tons rained down from the arm of Steve Mills, which helped get Kings Arms B off to a victorious start by a 7-4 scoreline at Legends Lounge B.

Mills was well supported by Paul Hendy's eleven tons, which included an 180 and a ten ton total from Mike Tucker, whilst a 137 combination outshot was provided by Martyn Down.

Nick Bryant's twelve ton bonanza provided the firepower to take Falstaff B to a 7-4 victory over the visitors from Tradesmans.

Phil Hoyle and Dave Lee also contributed heavily to the scoring phase of play as the pair ended on ten ton plusses each.

As the scoreline suggests, it wasn't all one way traffic, with Simon Washington's eleven tons top scoring for the defeated team.

Washington's stablemate, Chris Edgecombe, also reached the magic ten mark, whilst the 180s were shared between Rob May and Hoyle, who notched one maximum each for their respective cohorts.

May's 104 combination outshot proved crucial in deciding a 3-2 singles success over Keith Carter, who himself had a 76 kill.

Before that affair, Edgecombe checked a leg in 18 darts during a 3-1 win, and the top darts continued in the third individual game as Lee was a 3-1 winner thanks in part to a leg in 15.

The crucial blow for Hoyle in a 3-2 victory was put away in 17 darts before Bryant rounded off the match with a 3-0 victory that contained two 18 darters.

James Smith's eleven ton haul wasn't enough to stop Clifton Boozers succumbing to a 7-4 defeat at the hands of Kings Tamerton.

Smith's stablemate, Mark Williams, provided the best outshot of the night with a 112 kill that bettered a 96 by Kriston Gargett.

Stephen Ebsworth put together twelve ton plusses, which gave Firkin Scholar A the ammunition to come away from their visit to Staddy with an 8-3 success.

Providing a decent support act was Archie Borlase, who walked away with ten tons for his night's work, whilst Scott Heggie bagged the game's only 180.

A checkout of 96 from Rhys Castle was the best finish, whilst Ebsworth and Heggie added an 18 darter in the doubles phase.

Dan Brazier top scored with eleven tons as Ford Inn set out their stall for a title tilt with an 11-0 victory at Fawn A.

Scott Wapshott and AJ Brunton both reached ten tons for the victors, whilst Mike Nancholas was a ten ton hitter for the defeated team.

Reg Matthews managed a leg in 18 darts during a 3-1 defeat against Brunton, who checked 70 in a single visit during the victory.

The only three treble visit of the contest was fired by Paul Gavican, which helped him to another 3-1 success, which was only one of four legs conceded by the visitors.
