Rhys Castle fired fourteen ton plusses for Victory B but saw his team only secure a couple of points as Ker St A were 9-2 winners.

Castle added a 113 checkout and one of the five maximums to that tally as teammate Scott Heggie added two more to efforts from Roger Bailey and Ralph Lancaster's three treble visits.

Lancaster's 180 ticked his ton total over to the ten mark, whilst his team's best finish came in the form of a 90 combination from the arm of Mike Evans.

A twelve ton haul from Mick Bingham tipped Victoria in the right direction of a 6-5 win at Greenbank side Fawn B.

Bingham defeated John Brady 3-1 with a 16 darter, his best against Brady, who himself checked 93 at the very first time of asking during that turnaround.

Pete Down was a twelve ton hitter for Kings Arms, but that wasn't enough to stop his team from succumbing to a 7-4 loss at the hands of Raffles A.

Down was supported well by teammate Mike Sant, whilst three men for the away side provided the majority of the ammunition for the victors.

Simon Wilbraham top scored for the visitors with eleven tons, and teammates Tyler Borthwick and Adam Truscott found ten ton plusses each.

Whilst the match score eluded them, Down joined teammates Colin Sloman, Pete Dunbar, and Dave Algar in hitting a 180, which was added to just the once by the league leaders from Truscott.

Sloman netted himself a leg in 15 darts and a 78 checkout in the final singles, but was narrowly beaten by Adam Fell, who secured a 91 combination out to complete his team's victory.

Owen Cook was a ten ton hitter for Bluebird B, which sat nicely alongside Archie Borlase's 180 and a 100 checkout from Martin Rich in an 8-3 win for Cook's side at King Billy B.

Koby Dixon ended his night on ten tons, including a 180, but still found himself on the wrong end of a 10-1 loss as Herbert A were downed by title chasers Duchy A.

An outshot of 90 from Callum Horn lit up Herbert B's 7-4 triumph over Duchy B, whilst a checkout of 81 was the only noteworthy moment of an 8-3 home success for Hyde Park over Staddiscombe.
