When Harry Met Glenn-y

Harry Bull and Glenn Halford met in the Monday Premier League in a Plymouth darting heavyweight tussle that didn't disappoint during Indian's 6-5 defeat to Bluebird C.



The pair traded twenty ton plusses in the matchup with Halford firing a maximum on his way to fourteen tons overall.


Despite being outscored by eleven to nine in the contest, Bull's two treble visits and legs in 14 and 18 were enough to see him to a notable scalp by a 3-2 scoreline.



Bull's overall ton total of sixteen was the highest across all fixtures during week ten whilst teammate and father Danny Bull was also prominent with a 136 checkout and a maximum.


However, those efforts weren't enough to lead the Stoke village team to victory as with the score poised at 5-4 to the Indian, James Stoodley and Glenn Austin delivered to brilliant performances.



Stoodley kept the game alive with eight of his twelve tons on the night during a 3-2 win that left the destination of the win firmly balanced.


Austin then stepped up to give the Compton team the spoilts with a 3-0 win that featured enough tons for Austin to reach ten and secured the win with the help of a 17 darter.



Fifteen tons from Andrew Cook wasn't enough to stop King Billy from falling to an 8-3 defeat to Victory B in a match that saw thirteen tons from Paul Goundry.


Both Goundry and Scott Cook bagged a brace of maximums in the win with Cook adding eight more tons to take his total to ten.



Scott Cook's 16 dart leg in his 3-0 triumph was only bettered by a 14 darter by teammate Goundry whilst the latter paired with Paddy Archibald for a 16 dart 601 whilst yielded an astounding 112.69 three dart average.


Andrew Cook was one of three winners for the Devonport team and took a leg in 17 during his victory over Cornwall teammate Archibald.


Another 3-1 winner was the youngster Jamie Lofthouse who scored his team's only maximum and checked a 105 finish during his fantastic win.



Fourteen ton plusses from Lee Hellings was the highest total of a 7-4 win for Octagon A over Victory A in a match that was played at a high level from start to finish.


Two of those tons came from 100 and 112 checkouts from Hellings whilst the Octagon stalwart also managed the only maximum of the matchup.



Lewis Dare (25.91) warmed up for his tilt at the PDC Challenge Tour with thirteen tons and took a leg in 17 during his 3-0 singles win.


Dare's teammate Simon Washington also scored heavily with twelve three figure scores whilst Jayden Dodd was a fourth member of the Octagon team to reach ten tons; one of which was a 104 three dart combination.



As the scoreline suggests, the Stonehouse team didn't have it all their own way as Darren Collis top scored for his team with eleven tons and added a leg in 17 during his 3-1 individual win.


Tony Tasker added ten tons to his a mammoth ninety-eight ton plus haul between both the teams on the night.



Jack McMinn was once again prominent during the Bluebird derby match between the A and B sides with McMinn's A team coming out 8-3 winners.


Alan Masters also scored heavily with twelve tons whilst McMinn took the plaudits for the least number of darts in the match with a fine 18 darter in a 3-2 win.



Despite ending the wrong side of a defeat, Dale Halford showed his scoring prowess with a brace of maximums and added a 115 three dart combination out shot during his 3-2 singles success.


Tradesmans now hold a lead of eleven points at the top after a 9-2 win over Cherry Tree B that saw both Shaun Dring and John Mann reach eleven three figure scores overall.



Dring and Mann accented their totals with a two maximums each whilst both Andrew Nation and Mike O'Brien both added ten ton plusses to their evening's work.


Nation (28.90) was also the scorer of the Stonehouse team's fifth maximum and won his singles 3-0 thanks to a brace of 18 dart legs and another in 16 against Marc Webber who fired back a maximum to vain.



That average was only beaten by Mann (30.67) who took legs in 14 and 15 darts during his 3-0 win that also saw the highest checkout of the contest; a fine 109 one visit kill.


Dring was also another individual player to perform well individually with legs of 16 and 18 darts in another 3-0 win for the league leaders.



A Dave Wyatt 88 checkout was the only noteworthy contribution of an 8-3 win for Octagon B against Brewery Tap.


Paul Freeman was in good form for the Cherry Tree A with a 116 checkout and a maximum as they won 7-4 against the Union Inn.
