Champions Performance Puts Tradesmans On Brink

Mike O'Brien top scored with eleven tons as Tradesmans A put the hammer down with a 12-1 win over Indian Inn to leave them on the brink of back to back Plymouth and District Friday Darts League titles.

The reigning champs showed their class throughout by dominating the scoring and finishing phases to take all the league's headlines this week.

O'Brien was well supported by teammate Ben Waters who put ten tons onto the scoreboard whilst the least number of darts and high checkout weekly prizes both went the way of the champions elect.

Paul Nash's 100 checkout was the best of the week and only effort to reach three figures whilst Andrew Nation (30.33) fired his 1001 individuals in just 33 darts.

Nation's leg finished with an 85 three dart kill and that was the eighteenth completed in eleven visits or less this campaign overall, which shows the remarkable standard and consistency of the top players in the league.

Lewis Byrne fired a maximum for Tradesmans B as they put what looks like the final nail in the coffin of Kings Tamerton's title push as the latter came away with just a 7-6 win and fifteen off the top with two to play.

Kieran Burns twentieth maximum of the campaign was the only noteworthy contribution by both teams in a 9-4 defeat for King Billy at home to Falstaff.

Mark Gavican helped himself to the only maximum of a 10-3 success for Mainstone over Legends Lounge, which leaves the pair tied up at 151 points in ninth place.

A 40 dart 1001 leg from individual leader Washington (25.03) and a maximum from Steve Daley lit up Octagon's 11-2 triumph over Ker St B.

Jamie Sandford's 94 checkout couldn't arrest Grenville's slide to a 9-4 defeat at the hands of fellow bottom half dwellers Pennycross and despite going as many as 8-0 up, Victory only came away with a 10-3 win over Ker St A.
