The Bull A won 5-4 in a tight match against the DWMC, Ash Battie hit a 180 and Kevan Hackett checked out on 102, both for the Bull A who sit in third, level points with the Old E and two behind the leaders, the Diamond.

Fourth placed Hairy Bull lost 5-4 against the DWMC Oast, this game had four 180s.  One a piece for Paul Kermode and Alan Katreiber and two for Andrew Smith.  Carl Booker checked out on 145, sounds a cracking night of darts.
