Just a single point separates the leading three teams

The Keyham side defeated Hyde Park Social Club but the one point that eluded them was a doubles victory for Steve Duke and Rick Trinder.

Brookside were winners against Plympton Cons and recorded 59 throws of a ton or more.

Gary Phillips top scored with 100x14 and emerged a 3-1 winner in the singles, aided by a leg in 15.

Antony Hayman was their leading marksman and top scored with 12 throws of a ton or more which included two maximums that came in a 3-0 singles victory.

A 15-darter from Stewart Roberts was the highlight of Bluebird B’s 8-3 win at Indian Inn B, while Scott Wapshott (100x15) was the top player for Porters A in their 10-1 victory over Octagon B.

The Tradesman defeated Indian Inn A 9-2, inspired by Lee Rodmell, who emerged a 3-1 winner in 17, 17 and 16.

Lee Hellings (100x12) was consistent throughout for Octagon A in their whitewash of City Social while Rob Thorning (100x12) was Bluebird A’s talisman in their defeat of Prince Maurice A by the narrowest of margins.
