P&D Leaders Trad-ing Places

Reigning champions Tradesmans' A have finally hit the front in the Plymouth and District Friday Darts League after an 11-2 success over last year's runner-up, Victory Inn, who are now one point off the bottom.

Jayden Dodd's (28.60) threw the best leg of the week in that tie with a fine 35 dart leg over the 1001 distance; taking the scalp of remarkable veteran, Glyn Wells, in the process.

Andy Waters 106 was the biggest checkout of this affair whilst a Jordan Grimshaw maximum was the only effort of it's kind in an otherwise difficult night for his defeated Honicknowle team.

Despite hitting two excellent finishes in the match, Royal Naval Arms were pegged back by Kings Tamerton by a narrow score of 7-6.

Gareth Lake's 88 was only bettered by the highest checkout of the week from teammate Dave Ryde who nailed 114 in a single visit before Paul Sanders claimed the spoils for his team with the scores tied at six a piece.

Kieran Burns and Dylan Webb put a 180 each onto the scoreboard as their King Billy team got the better of Grenville by an 11-2 score line.

Ben Moses' maximum helped the Stoke Bar & Grill to an 11-2 success over Ker St B; a win that sees the former move to fourth in the standings whilst the Devonport team now prop up the rest at the foot.

Cherry Tree climbed off the bottom of the standings with a 7-6 win over Ker St A that was won in a final leg decider by Stephen Heffron.

Chris Edgcumbe gave Octagon their only 180 during a 10-3 win for them over Mainstone whilst Pennycross claimed a second win in four outings this season with a 7-6 success over Tradesmans B.
