Reed The Goat And He Will Score

Dave Reed's 130 checkout was the highest finish of all fixtures in the Plymouth City Super League, but that fine effort couldn't arrest Colebrook's slide to a 7-4 defeat against Bluebird A.

The Compton side had Glenn Halford in majestic form as he nailed thirteen tons to the board whilst the talisman was assisted in the result by James Stoodley who added twelve three figure scores.

The cherry of top of both Halford and Stoodley's totals were the only 180s in the match whilst John Donald put up the most consistent resistance for the Plympton side with ten tons.

Simon Stevenson continued his recent rich vein of form with a fifteen ton haul in Fawn A's 8-3 defeat to King Billy that saw a Stevenson 3-0 triumph containing one leg in 17 quickly followed by a 15 darter.

Antony Hayman (28.90) was the Devonport side's main protagonist in the success with thirteen three figure scores; winning his individuals 3-0 with the help of legs in 17 and 16 darts.

Paul Palmer's 124 checkout in a 3-0 individual success was the best checkout of the match whilst there was two 180s for Palmer's teammate Paul Goundry and a third in the match from Fawn's Mark Hempsall.

Fred Goldsmith was Octagon's principal figure with eleven ton plusses in an 11-0 win over Fawn B; a total that included one of the two maximums for his team.

The other 180 was ploughed in by Neil White whilst Alfie Ford's 120 checkout in a 3-0 sat alongside an 18 dart leg in a fine performance.

Goldsmith's (26.84) 3-0 win saw two more 18 dart legs whilst there was one more in the match as Dave Matthews checked a single leg in six completed visits during his 3-1 success.

John Mann's 3-0 win however saw the best leg of the match as he nailed a 17 darter whilst Mann was involved in one of the two 1001 team games that yielded high averages.

Mann, Ford and Matthews (27.05) trebles was put away in just 37 darts, which was only bettered by Goldsmith and White (28.60) who won a 1001 doubles in just 35.

Victory A were 11-0 winners with no small contribution coming from the arm of Scott Cook who threw three maximums on his way to ten three figure scores.

Cook was joined in hitting a 180 on the night by teammates Paul Gavican, Mark Shears and Danny Allen; the latter checking 110 in a single visit for the best kill of the affair.

Tom James was also in good form throughout the evening as he matched Cook's ten ton haul with one of his own.

Tex Pearce bagged ten tons but found himself on the wrong end of a 6-5 defeat as St Levans were bested by Steampacket.

George Beckett (28.36) was his usual brilliant self for the Devonport outfit with two maximums in a 3-0 win that was accented by a 14 darter.

Pearce was one of three individual winners for the Keyham side; adding a 72 checkout to two 17 dart legs that gave him a 3-0 individual triumph.

A brace of 180s from Reg Matthews wasn't enough to get his Saltram team over the line in a 6-5 defeat to Victory B.

Those efforts came in Matthews 3-1 win over Sean Burkitt who won his single point in 18 darts before Adam Fell's 100 checkout in a 3-2 win.

A Scott Hutchinson 180 in a 3-0 win that made it 5-5 gave Lewis Dare (25.91) the chance to run out a 3-0 winner to complete a 6-5 success; fighting back from 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 and 5-3 down along the way.

Three maximums lit up Cherry Tree's 7-4 win over Kings Arms A with Mike Sant and Darran Bailey providing the efforts for the defeated side.

Rick Trinder bagged the Pennycross team's only three treble visit and added a 16 dart leg during a 3-2 defeat to Colin Sloman who crucially checked 84 to give him the edge in that particular tie.

180s were shared in Raffles 6-5 win over Bluebird B with both Nigel Bassett and James Ewing contributing a solitary effort each, whilst Bassett's teammate Dale Halford checked 104 for the highest out of the matchup.

A maximum a piece from Fred Lamerton and Paul Tackle helped Ker St to an 8-3 win over Victoria; whose moments of magic in the match came from a Steve McAteer 14 darter and a 117 checkout from Mick Bingham.

Dan Jewell's 118 checkout bettered a 107 from teammate Niall McGarvey in a 6-5 win for Clifton at home to Victory C.
