Frankie No Fish Stout Of Water

A remarkable six 180s from Frankie Stout lit up the Legends Lounge Premier League 2 as the young starlet threw three in each of his two outings.

Stout put three out of the four maximums onto the scoreboard in his clash with Darren Smith but still ended up on the wrong end of a 7-4 defeat.

The brilliant 18 year old got back to winning ways with another trio of 180s and an accomplished 106 checkout against Sarah Brown in a 7-4 win.

Brown's second matchup of the game week saw her succumb 7-0 to Scott Lawrey who nailed a maximum in the process.

Lawrey made it two wins from two starts as he bettered Liam Taylor 7-5, whom himself put a 180 onto the scoreboard in a 7-0 loss to Dave Hollow.

Hollow's evening was a mixed bag as his other contest ended in a 7-4 defeat to Andrew Cook who put one of his two maximums onto the board during that encounter.

Cook's other 180 sat alongside checkouts of 120 and 100 which came in a second 7-4 win over Danny Perryman; a win that allows him to sit on top of the table, a point ahead of Lee Hellings.

The only undefeated player left in the extremely cut throat competition, Hellings, added two maximums on his way to a 7-0 win over Nick Cordrey.

The Cornwall county man followed that win up with a further 180 in a 7-4 success over Scott Hutchinson who sits joint second with Hellings having played a game more.

Hutchinson's second tie of the night saw him win by the odd leg in thirteen against Sean Burkitt as Hutchinson also outgunned his opponent two to one in the maximum stakes.

Burkitt did add a 100 checkout in that contest, which came after a 7-5 win over Del Bryce in which Burkitt struck his first 180 of the night.

Bryce next was on the end of a 7-1 loss to Hutchinson who made it three maximums from three matches in the win.

A third loss of the night completed Bryce's week as he suffered a 7-4 loss to Perryman whilst Paul Gavican was in inspired form during his win over Darren Smith.

Gavican added as many as maximums as Smith garnered legs as Gavican came through a 7-4 winner to put him in amongst the chasing pack; nicely poised with at least one game in hand over the majority of his rivals.

Despite bagging herself as many as four maximums, Maria O'Brien was downed by Neil White 7-5 in Premier League 1.

As well as coming away with the victory, White's other contribution to that particular game was a 180 of his own before White went on to beat Tom James 7-4 who himself checked 101 in the loss.

James' second outing of the evening saw him suffer a heavier 7-1 defeat to Dan Brazier who tops the standings after winning a matchup against second placed Paul Palmer 7-6, thanks in part to a maximum.

Palmer made up for that narrow loss with a 7-1 win over Matt Kingdom who himself also fell to a 7-0 defeat to Kieran Burns.

Burns made it two from two on the night to keep himself in amongst the title chasing pack during his 7-3 win over Danny Bull.

Burns' 180 trumped a fine 128 checkout from Bull that was the highest recorded in both divisions during the game week.

Scott Wapshott defeated James Ewing 7-5 thanks to two maximums to Ewing's one and continued his upward trajectory in the standings with another 180 in a 7-1 win over Paul Hendy.

Hendy got back to winning ways with a 7-4 success over O'Brien who made it five maximums for her evening's work in the defeat whilst Robbie Aitken got a needed win over when coming through 7-1 versus Kelly Burkitt.

Aitken followed that success with a complete reversal of fortunes as he was downed by Ewing 7-1; a result that leaves Ewing comfortably in mid table in the divisional standings.
