Stevenson Puts Rocket Under Cornwall Gate

Simon Stevenson continues to light up the Plymouth City Super League Division A and ignite Cornwall Gate's challenge at the upper echelons of the standings after a 9-2 win over Ker St.

Stevenson's seventeen ton plus tally included one of the three maximums that the St Budeaux outfit plundered on the night.

Andy Malinowski added one of those to his haul of thirteen three figure scores whilst the other three treble visit came from the arm of Col Maddocks.

Malinowski's 80 combination finish was bettered twice in the match as Fred Lamerton fired a 92 for the defeated home side in a 3-1 singles success to take second best.

Malinowski's teammate Matt Vosper heard 'game shot' after putting away 130 at the first time of asking to give him the best finish of the night, and of the game week across all fixtures played.

Star of the show for Steampacket with fourteen tons was Marc Webber, but that mammoth total couldn't arrest his team's slide to a 9-2 defeat at the hands of Indian Inn B.

Webber's teammate Luke Johnson was the only recipient of a '180' call after throwing whilst George Beckett was also prominent with eleven ton plusses.

Beckett however suffered a 3-2 reversal in the individuals as Dan Brazier got the better of him 3-2 despite Beckett checking a leg with a 75 finish.

Brazier ended his night on eleven tons also whilst teammate Paul Gavican's 119 combination out shot gave him the highest finish of the game.

That Gavican effort pushed Scott Wapshott's 80 kill into second best in a match that saw the Stoke village side finally start to play like they can after a difficult beginning to the season.

Indian Inn A's 7-4 win over Bluebird B gave them their second win, and that success owed a lot to Harry Bull who produced thirteen ton plusses.

Danny Bull also showed glimpses of the form that earned him county honours with a checkout of 114 to go alongside a crucial 18 dart leg in a 3-2 individual win.

That Bull three figure out shot meant that Eddie Bull's 96 finish was only good enough for second best in the checkout stakes.

The form of Quinton Taylor for Cherry Tree A put a slight dent in Bluebird A's title push as Taylor's eleven tons helped towards the away side securing a quartet of points in a 7-4 loss.

Taylor's ton tally was propped up by a 111 checkout whilst Steve Mills was also in good nick for the defeated side with a 180 in his 3-2 win.

That narrow success saw Mills plough home legs in 13 and 18 darts whilst the best of the short games from the victorious side came from James Stoodley.

His 3-1 triumph came with a leg in 15 darts as well as a 93 checkout whilst in the scoring phase of play, Glenn Halford was once again outstanding for the Compton team.

Halford ended his night on ten tons and Halford's total would've stopped short of the dectet mark if it wasn't for his team's only maximum.

Kings Arms B had Dave Johns in decent form with eleven tons to give them a 7-4 win over King Billy who themselves added five maximums in the defeat.

The cherry on top of Antony Hayman's eleven ton haul was two maximums whilst Paul Goundry and Alec Turner both added one 180 each to their ten ton tallies.

Mark Yeoman was the other maximum hitter for the defeated Devonport outfit whilst at the business end of legs, the two teams shared the highest checkout.

Goundry's 90 checkout was matched by Martyn Down whilst Hayman, Goundry and Archibald (26.34) teamed well to secure a 1001 trebles in 38 darts.

The Cherry Tree C might've secured all but one of the points on offer during a 10-1 win over Clifton, but it was Niall McGarvey who dominated the scoring phase of play for the defeated Greenbank team.

McGarvey added a maximum to his ten ton personal haul whilst former teammate Dan Jewell's 94 checkout wasn't bettered by any of the twelve on display in the rout.
