Jacob Bentham put together a 156 checkout that was the best finish of the week in the Steve Chapman 501 League but still found himself on the wrong end of a 9-2 loss as Cherry Tree D were downed by Kings Arms.

Jason Pinkerton fired a thirteen ton haul that included his team's only maximum during a 9-2 win for Cherry Tree B against Indian Inn.

Mark Hatherley produced a consistent display for the defeated team with ten tons whilst the only maximum for the defeated team came from the arm of Dan Wilkinson.

Andy Bates' thirteen ton plusses gave Fawn B the platform to stage a comeback 7-4 win against Tradesmans after falling to a 4-1 deficit after the team games.

Bates was flanked by eleven tons from John Mann and Lee Agar ended his night on ten scores of a ton or more.

The hosts' charge was anchored by twelve scores of a ton or more from Rob May whilst 180s from Kevin Evans and Lewis Byrne were the only efforts of it's kind.

Mann (26.37) added a leg in 16 darts during his 3-0 win whilst Evans 17 darter was finished in two at the first time of asking from 94 in his 3-1 loss.

A twelve ton haul from Steve Mills led Cherry Tree C to a 10-1 triumph away at Victory Fireballs in a game that saw Nick Bryant and Nick Miller also had moments of magic.

Miller added the only maximum and Bryant's 3-0 win was accented by a 16 dart leg that was the best leg of 501 in the match.

Those maximums were two of four in the match as Anna Pearce and Mike Pearce both put up three treble visits for the victors.

A 15 darter from Tex Pearce was the best leg of 501, which came in a 3-0 individual triumph that was one of four singles wins for the away side.
