Monarch Of The Glenn

Glenn Halford heard scores of a ton or more called an unbeaten fourteen times during Bluebird A's Plymouth City Super League Division A win over Cherry Tree A by a 7-4 score line.



Tyler Borthwick smashed in the defeated side's only maximum during the contest whilst at the business end of legs, there was smattering of world class action.


Halford's teammate James Stoodley fired a leg in 16 in a 3-1 individual triumph whilst Halford matched that feat in his 3-0 success later on in the contest.



Borthwick was defeated 3-1 despite an 18 darter whilst Tony Teal modest 74 outshot claimed the high checkout honours for the match.


Andy Bates return to Super League action saw him fire thirteen ton plusses in reigning champions Octagon's 10-1 success over a talented Kings Arms B.



Bates was supported well by Fred Goldsmith who added ten tons of his own whilst Bates fired one of a quintet of maximums shared between a trio of competitors in the matchup.


Teammate Lee Hellings joined Dave Johns from the defeated Oreston side in hitting a brace of maximums whilst Bates 110 checkout was the highest of all twenty-eight finishes in the game.



John Mann and teammate David Matthews put together a fine 20 dart 601 leg in the first doubles before the former lit up the first individual game.

George Beckett's twelve ton tally couldn't arrest Steampacket's slide to an 8-3 defeat at the hands of King Billy in the Devonport derby.



Beckett fired one of the three maximums on his way to that total whilst the cherry on top of teammate Marc Webber's ten tons was a 124 high checkout.


Lee Doncaster's eleven three figure scores did the damage for the current top team in the division whilst stablemates Paul Palmer and Paul Goundry both put a solitary three treble visit onto the scoreboard.

Twelve tons from Dan Brazier helped Legends Lounge close the gap on the leaders by a single point as the St Budeaux outfit claimed a 9-2 victory over Colebrook.



Brazier was one of five teammates to heard 180 called after throwing in the match as Frankie Stout, Paul Gavican, Mark Shears and Scott Cook all repeated the feat.


Shears was also prominent in the finishing stages of the match as he checked 121 and 155 in a 3-0 singles win; the latter claiming the highest checkout of the week across both divisions.



Despite ending on the wrong side of a heavy loss, Will Broome and Dave Hollow managed to put up eleven tons in the contest each.


Eleven tons from Reg Matthews, including the game's only maximum, still wasn't enough to give Saltram their first win of a ten game old campaign as the home side were downed by Bluebird B 7-4.



Ton plus checkouts rained down from the Compton outfit as Nige Bassett's 109 was only bested by a 111 from Dale Halford.
