Fred-iculous Standard From Goldsmith

Fred Goldsmith's (27.90) 3-2 individual win was the best performance in the Plymouth City Super League Division A of a game week that saw Octagon secure a 9-2 win over Cherry Tree C.

Goldsmith added legs in 16 and 17 darts, which were at the heart of that success, whilst John Mann (27.83) also performed admirably with two legs in 17 darts providing him the platform to build a 3-0 win.

From the first 'game on' call of the night, the reigning champs set about their opponents with the same vigour that has made them fantastic division winners.

Goldsmith teamed with Mann and Alfie Ford (26.34) to secure the first 1001 trebles in 38 darts before Neil White, Lee Hellings and Sean Taylor (27.81) went two better with a 36 darter.

Ford and Hellings added a 601 leg in 19 darts before White and Taylor rounded off a 5-0 whitewash of the team phase with the help of a leg in 20 darts over the same distance.

Taylor then continued the dominance with a 3-1 win over Steve Towl, who added a leg in 18 darts during that matchup, before Dan Jewell was defeated by the same score by White, despite hitting a leg in 14.

Frankie Stout picked up his team's first point with a 100 checkout crucial in a 3-2 win that came despite a leg in 18 by Hellings, whilst Nathan Langdon took his team's second point with a 3-0 win that saw a 14 darter.

Goldsmith's aforementioned win was against Dave Hollow, who put up a leg in 17 before Mann rounded off the night's play with his excellent success.

Despite walking away with his nose bloodied by Stout's great play, Hellings still managed a haul of nineteen tons that included one of the four maximums.

Goldsmith supported Hellings throughout to meander his way to seventeen tons whilst Taylor added a 106 checkout and a 180 to his eleven ton haul.

Mann reached ten tons, as did three of the away side's cohort, as the trio of Towl, Stout, and Hollow all fired to that particular milestone.

Completing a quartet of maximums in the high class contest was Ford and Jewell who both heard '180' called after throwing their three darts once apiece.

Simon Stevenson put on a display that included checkouts of 118 and 120 and one of the three maximums to top up his ton tally to the eighteen mark during a 6-5 win for Cornwall Gate over Kings Arms B.

Stevenson was also the hero of the final game as he put away Simon Kelly 3-1 with a 15 darter, his highlight of the game that started with the sides locked at 5-5 going into it.

Kelly was the away side's top scoring player with an eleven ton haul, and his solitary leg in that showdown came with a finish of 122.

Other notable checkouts from the defeated team came from 100 and 82 by Paul Carpenter, whilst Kelly also checked 77 in a single visit.

Dave Johns was the only 180 hitter for the visitors whilst Andy Malinowski supported Stevenson well with a ten ton haul that was completed by a third maximum of the tie, and he also managed a 95 kill.

Harry Bull nestled two of the five 180s on his way to a personal ton tally of fifteen, which came in a 7-4 win for Indian A over Legends Lounge.

Three of the five mid-range checkouts his team nailed came from Bull as he took out 76, 86, and a game high 94 at the first time of asking.

Leighton Wilson's 80 combo was joined by a Danny Bull 90 kill whilst Bull bagged his team's other maximum and two more came from the arm of Lee Hunter for the defeated home side.

Scores of a ton or more were secured fourteen times by George Beckett, but his Steampacket team were swept aside by an 8-3 scoreline by Bluebird A.

Dale Halford put on eleven tons, including a 180, for the victors whilst the two heaviest scorers met in the individual phase as Beckett got the best of his rival thanks to a 15 darter and a 116 kill.

Fourteen tons rained down from the arm of Paul Goundry, but that wasn't enough to stop King Billy A from succumbing to a 7-4 loss at Cherry Tree D.

Whilst Paul Palmer supported Goundry with a ten ton haul, Quinton Taylor and Phil Hoyle provided most of the firepower for the victors with eleven tons each.

Taylor's ton total was topped up by two of the four maximums as Goundry and Alec Turner fired back for the defeated team.

Nick Bryant and Keith Carter both played decent stuff at times with ten tons each to further emphasise the home side's dominance in the scoring phase.

Hoyle checked a leg in 13 darts during his 3-2 defeat to Goundry, whilst there were 90 checkouts for both Bryant and Paddy Archibald.

Thirteen ton plusses for Kevin Marshall and twelve more by Simon Washington emphasised the gap between Tradesmans and Victory A, which ended in an 8-3 win for the former.

Despite ending on the wrong side of a heavy defeat, AJ Brunton managed eleven ton plusses and his team secured the lion's share of three 180s hit between the two sides.

Phil Ingram and Chris Beale nestled maximums into the board whilst Jodie Hawton added a solitary three treble effort of her own.

Amongst Washington's aforementioned ton total, he managed a 148 combination out shot that bettered Kieran Harris' 120 kill for the defeated team.

Washington also stole the show in the individual phase of play with legs in 17 and 18 darts that proved crucial to his 3-2 triumph.

Harris and opponent Lewis Byrne both added 18 darters during a 3-1 triumph for the latter, which was one of four singles wins secured by the visitors.

Reg Matthews was the main aggressor in the scoring phase with eleven ton plusses but still found himself on the wrong end of a 9-2 loss as Fawn A were downed by Ford Inn.

Matthews was unlucky to be defeated 3-2 in the individual phase but still had time for a 17 darter whilst there was two mid range finishes as Mark Shears and Dave Roberts struck 91 and 76 out shots.

Kev Doel got Cherry Tree B's season up and running with ten tons that led his team to an 8-3 win at Kings Tamerton who had Danny Hoyle bagging a trio of maximums.

At the business end of legs, checkouts of 80 and 94 by Lee Dennis and Chris Hanwell joined a 15 darter by Lee Soper that came in a narrow 3-2 loss.
