To Dare Is To Do

Lewis Dare (26.37) smashed in a leg in 18 darts and a 140 checkout in a 3-0 win that was the best highlight of a 6-5 Plymouth City Super League Division A defeat for Raffles C versus Cherry Tree D.

Dare was the biggest ton hitter for the hosts with eleven, whilst Keith Carter scored twelve three figure visits for the victors.

Carter's tally was accentuated by two of the six 180s in the match as Dare joined teammates Simon Wilbraham, Craig Hillary and Adam Truscott in achieving that feat.

Truscott's three treble visit ticked his ton tally over to the ten mark, whilst Wilbraham also added a 100 checkout, which bettered a 94 from Carter's stablemate Phil Hoyle.

Carter's 3-1 singles success saw a leg in 14 darts, which was matched by Wilbraham in a 3-2 defeat, whilst the match result was decided in a 3-0 win for Dave Lee in the final singles.

Cameron O'Brien top scored for Cherry Tree C with fourteen tons, and was the hero of the hour in a final leg shootout win to give his team a 6-5 win over Raffles B.

O'Brien added a 121 three dart combination outshot to his night's work, which bettered a 98 from Harry Bull for the visitors.

Bull ended his night on ten tons overall, whilst all of the 180s came from his side as a brace from Danny Bull was added to by Ryan Fuller.

Glenn Halford added two three treble visits to his thirteen ton haul that came in a 6-5 win for Bluebird A at Fawn A.

Halford's teammates Dale Halford also contributed heavily to the win with eleven three figure visits, whilst Glenn Austin's 140 checkout bettered a 94 from Mark Hempsall.

Twelve tons from Dan Brazier gave Ford Inn the platform to secure an 8-3 victory over Firkin Scholar in a match that saw '180' called four times.

Scott Wapshott, Paul Gavican, Mark Shears, and Ant Pearn all fired maximums, whilst the away side contributed two notable efforts at the business end.

Rhys Castle found a 79 checkout, whilst Scott Heggie was a 3-1 winner in the individual phase with a 16 darter, his best.

Falstaff's 7-4 win over Ker St A turned into a gluttony of ton plus scores for Kelvin Rowe, who ended his night on eleven three figure visits.

Stablemates Scott Cook and Tony Tasker both added a solitary 180 for the hosts, whilst the latter teamed with Darren Collis to nail 601 points in just 18 darts.

The excellence continued in the singles phase as Tasker found a leg in 17 in his 3-0 win, a leg that was only bettered by Cook's 15 darter, which contributed to a 3-1 victory.

Martyn Down pined eleven three figure visits to the dartboard to lead Kings Arms B to an 8-3 win in their visit to Bluebird B.

Teammate Steve Mills put away 83 in a single visit for the best checkout, whilst Owen Cook showed his class with ten scores of a ton or more for the defeated party.
