The weeks are flying past in the Dover Invitation Darts League, and personally I think the new league structure is gpoing down well.   I always try and pop around the other matches on boards when I am at the venues to gauge opinion, and to date it has been very postitive. We will make a decision soon on the format of the team knockout and I also hope over the next week we can confirm the pro night.

One with this weeks Arrows,

The Bull A and the Old Endeavour are still unbeaten in division one.  They Old Endeavour won 8-1 against the DWMC B and the Bull won 7-2 against the Hairy Bull.  The Old E sit top of the table as they have won one more game in their matches so far.

These two matches included 180s for Tony Selby, Dave Heath and Graeme North, 107 checkout for Lee Ware and a 104 checkout for Dave Heath.

James Manton and Jim Penman both hit 180s in the Diamonds 6-3 win against the Boars Head Arrows.  This was the first defeat for the season for the Arrows in their return to division one.
