One week from the half way stage and there are plenty of top darts being played in all three divisions.

In division three the Carriers arms are top of the table and the Whitfield Club are second, level on points, with only 3 games differences separating the two.  This week they both won 7-2, Carriers beating the Old Endeavour and Whitfield Club beating the DSAA C.  Scottie Rushton of the Old Endeavour hit his second 180 of the season, following the one he hit last Friday.

In the Phoenix derby, the C side beat the Rising 5-4, they cam from 4-1 down to win the match.   The Sportsman now sit fourth behind the Phoenix C after their 5-4 win against the Misfits.  The Nelson won 9-0 as the Smiffys were unable to field a side.

There was a couple of 8-1s in division one, the Old Endeavour beat the Real Diamonds and the Diamond beat the Boars Head Arrows.  Paul Turner and Jim Penman hit 180s and Paul also hit a 120 checkout.  

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.

Week 9

I start this weeks round up with some sad news, which I am sure many of you will be aware of already. Our good friend of the league Barry Bullock passed away. Barry had been fighting cancer over the past few years in his own special way, the Barry way. No complaints from Barry, he got on with it, lived life to the best he could, played golf with friends and always, without doubt, enjoyed his darts right to the very end. In my eyes he was a gentle Gentleman and I like many only have fond memories of him and will miss him dearly. RIP my friend.
