Lee Hellings was the undoubted star of the show for Octagon A with his eighteen ton haul lighting up a 7-4 win over Bluebird B.

Halford's checkout pushed Paul Palmer's 135 for the victors into second best for the evening whilst Glenn Halford was almost as influential as his family member and teammate.

Halford netted a 180 on his way to eleven tons and claimed two legs in 17 darts during a 3-0 success, which was only bettered by a 16 darter from Lee Roberts in a 3-2 defeat.

Zak Smith fired fifteen tons for Colebrook but ended up on the wrong side of an 8-3 loss as the Plympton outfit were defeated 8-3 by Legends Lounge who had Lewis Byrne firing a 180.

A topsy-turvy affair that saw seven of the eleven won by a solitary leg ended with Eddie Bill claiming a 3-2 triumph when on last with the scores tied at 5-5 to complete the win.

Andrew Cook added one of the six maximums in King Billy's 10-1 win over Cherry Tree B to his twelve ton total that led the way in the scoring phase.

Scott Cook added a brace to his brother's maximum whilst teammates Paul Goundry and Anthony Pearn made it five 180s in the dominant win for the visitors.

Marc Webber added a solitary 180 for the defeated team whilst there was a number of short game across the format for the away side.

Andrew Cook and Pearn put together a 601 leg in just 16 darts in the doubles phase before Scott Cook added a leg in 17 during his 3-0 success.

Goundry was a winner in 14 darts during a 3-1 win whilst Paul Gavican joined Scott Cook in achieving a 17 darter.
