Here Today, John Tomorrow

John Mann (28.36) fired the best average of the week in the Monday Premier League during runaway leaders Trademans' 8-3 triumph over King Billy.

Mann's individuals saw a 15 dart leg joined by a pair that both came in 19 and also threw the most tons amongst his fellow Stonehouse based cohort with twelve.

Antony Hayman top scored with thirteen three figure scores for the visitors and netted himself what turned out to be crucial legs in 16 and 15 darts during a 3-2 success.

The man Hayman got the better of on that occasion was Andrew Nation who checked the best finish of the match with a 120 in the very first tie of the contest to put him team 1-0 up.

Both Nation and Hayman added 180s in the clash, which added to one from Nation's teammate Lee Agar in a 3-0 win that also saw game shot called in one leg after just 17 darts.

The aforementioned Nation checkout bettered a 116 three dart combination outshot from Andrew Cook in a 3-1 win that came with the help of an 18 darter.

Fred Goldsmith also continued to show his very best form throughout the match as he added two 18 dart legs to a ten tons haul.

Octagon A's 9-2 win over Victory A saw Paul Palmer net eleven ton plusses whilst Jayden Dodd bagged himself a ten ton haul.

However, those contributions were blown out of the water by nineteen three figure scores from Luke Johnson despite ending on the wrong side of the heavy defeat.

Three ton plus checkouts were shared between the two sides as Palmer's 101 was beaten once by Dave Pethick's 133 and again by a 154 from Quinton Taylor.

The only thing that was one sided about the affair was the result; further proved by two 180s were shared between the two teams as Lee Hellings and Tony Tasker added an effort.

Taylor's 18 dart leg couldn't arrest his slide to a 3-1 defeat whilst Hellings (26.37) checked a leg in 17 in his 3-0 win; a leg that was beaten by a solitary dart by Palmer in his 3-2 triumph.

A Bluebird derby match between B and C teams ended in a 9-2 triumph for the latter, largely down to the heavy scoring of Glenn Halford.

Halford's fifteen ton plus total was accented by one of the two maximums thrown by the two teams on the night.

Wayne Oddie put the other onto the scoreboard for the defeated team in a 3-1 individual defeat in which Oddie checked a leg in 18.

That 18 darter had to settle for second best though as Halford produced a crucial 15 dart leg in a success by the odd leg in five.

Dale Halford's effort couldn't be faulted in the loss for his side as he put ten tons onto the scoreboard, including a mammoth 152 combination outshot.

Alan Masters fourteen ton haul was the main catalyst behind a Bluebird A 6-5 win over Indian Inn with Jack McMinn producing eleven three figure scores of his own to support Masters well.

Their teammate Keith Lemon added his side's only maximum, the other in the match going to Alan Rowe who joined Harry Bull in hitting a 17 darter each in respective 3-0 singles wins.

An 8-3 win for Colebrook at home versus Octagon B was lit up by Dan Giles eleven ton contribution whilst stablemate Nick Furneaux showed two moments of brilliance with a 109 checkout and a maximum.

Paul Gavican's maximum and 112 checkout ticked his personal ton tally over to the ten mark as Victory B came from 3-0 down against Cherry Tree B to secure a 7-4 win.

Gavican's 180 was one of five in the match with Ant Pearn's brace adding to efforts from the defeated side for Kev Doel and Dave Lee.

With the game sewn up at 7-3 to the Honicknowle side, George Beckett restored a bit of respectability to the result with a 3-0 triumph that contained a leg in 13 darts in the final singles rubber.
