Tinker Taylor's Octagon Flies

Sean Taylor's (25.91) magical performance for the runaway Plymouth City Super League Division A leaders, Octagon, came in a 10-1 triumph over Kings Arms B.

Taylor put away an 18 dart leg during his 3-0 win that was one of a plethora of brilliant averages from the home side.

Both 1001 trebles games were finished off in 35 darts as John Mann, Fred Goldsmith, and Alfie Ford (28.60) matched Taylor, Lee Hellings, and Neil White's efforts.

Mann and Goldsmith put together a leg in 19 darts during their 601 doubles matchup, and the uniformity was repeated by Hellings and Ford in a 2-0 triumph that also saw a leg tumble in just 19.

The only chalk mark earned by the away side was claimed thanks to Dave Johns and Paul Hendy adding an 18 darter over the 601 distance to a 155 combination out from Johns during a 2-1 triumph.

Mann opened up the individual phase with a leg in 16 darts before White ended his night on thirteen tons and with a leg in 15 darts during a 3-1 victory.

Goldsmith put on seventeen ton plusses for his night's work and found a 3-1 win over Johns in which there was some outstanding arrows.

Goldsmith bagged himself a 115 kill and an 18 dart leg to usurp Johns who himself fired a leg in 17 darts and a 180 to top his ton total up to thirteen in total.

Hellings was another 3-1 winner and a third player to reach double figures in tons as he exited the oche with twelve ton plusses to his name including one of the two maximums his team plundered.

Paul Carpenter can count himself unlucky to narrowly lose 3-2 to Ford, but still managed ten tons to his name before Taylor rounded the game off with his excellent average and a maximum to boot.

Andy Malinowski produced a haul of fifteen ton plusses for Legends Lounge B, which helped them to a 7-4 success in their Legends Lounge derby against their A team.

Malinowski's total was ticked over to that mark with one of the four maximums his team proudly displayed on the scoreboard.

Col Maddocks added a brace of that effort, whilst Simon Stevenson put on the fourth to help complete a personal ton haul of twelve.

Stevenson's devastating finishing was also amongst the highlights as his 3-0 triumph was littered with legs in 15 and 18 darts.

A 116 combination outshot also accentuated his victory, and that effort narrowly bettered a 109 by teammate Matt Vosper, who narrowly lost 3-2 to Del Bryce despite those heroics.

Bryce worked hard for that win when checking 92, which proved crucial in the final reckoning, and the cherry on top of his ten ton haul was his team's only maximum.

Eight of the nine 180s during a clash between Steampacket and Fawn A went the way of the victors in a 7-4 win for the Devonport based home side.

George Beckett put up three of those efforts on his way to fourteen three figure visits across the contest, whilst teammate Nick Miller also added three maximums of his own.

That tally left Miller on ten ton plusses for his night's work whilst other maximums came from the arms of Kayleigh Adams and Phil Taylor.

The solitary maxi for the visitors was provided by Mark Hempsall, whilst the individual phase of play drew some excellent darts throughout.

Miller's 3-0 triumph saw an 18 darter put away before Dave Roberts provided a crucial leg in 16, which helped him over the line in a 3-2 success.

Beckett fired legs in 14 and 18 darts during a 3-1 victory before the match was rounded off by Reg Matthews succumbing 3-1 to Taylor, with his leg coming thanks to a 116 checkout.

That Matthews three dart combination meant that Beckett's teammate had to settle for second best in the high checkout honours with a 76 single visit kill.

Glenn Halford and Glenn Austin lit up Bluebird A's 10-1 triumph with twelve ton plusses overall in their visit to St Levans.

Dale Halford backed the pairing up with eleven tons, whilst the only moment of magic for the defeated home team came from the arm of John Sturdy with a 180.

Nick Bryant fired a 180 on his way to twelve tons but still found himself on the wrong end of a 7-4 loss as Cherry Tree D were downed by Ford Inn.

Teammate Arthur Pearce made it two maximums for the defeated side whilst Mark Shears put on the victor's solitary maxi.

The individual phase was where all of the good work was done at the business end of legs, and that started with a 3-1 win for Phil Hoyle.

Hoyle checked 100 in a single visit and added a leg in 17 darts before Scott Wapshott checked 96 and 97 during a 3-0 triumph.

Bryant bagged himself legs in 17, 18, and 16 darts in a 3-2 win that was one of eight games decided by just the one leg.

Harry Bull put twelve tons onto the scoreboard to lead Indian Inn A to a 7-4 win, which came during a visit to Kings Tamerton.

Danny Bull was also impressive in the scoring phase with a 180 that contributed to a personal haul of ten ton plusses.

Bull also produced fireworks at the business end of legs during a 3-2 triumph that contained checkouts of 80 and 101, as well as legs in 14 and 12 darts.

The only noteworthy contribution from the home side came from the arm of Gary Hoyle, who was the only member of the home cohort to nail a maximum.

Lee Doncaster was the hero of the hour during a 6-5 win for King Billy A when winning the last singles of the matchup at Victory A.

The win, however, was built on the ton hitting of Doncaster's teammate Paul Goundry, who ended his night with an eleven ton personal tally.

Doncaster also contributed a 100 checkout that was matched by Lee O'Mahony, who teamed nicely with Chris Beale to put together a 601 leg in just 18 darts that also saw a 180 for Beale.
