PREMIER Division Darts pacemakers W/End LMR B surged nine points clear after walloping hosts Oddies 7-1.

Pioneers A and Eight Farmers move up a place each to second and third after victories over Nantwich Road ASLEF and Holly Bush respectively, also due to Cosey not playing.

The consistent Robbie Arrowsmith, Vine A, hit a 15 dart leg, LMR B's Patrick Lynskey won in 16 and 17 darts and teammate Chris Townsend included a 180 in his 16 darter.

Joe Williams (Nantwich Road ASLEF) and LMR B duo Chris Gibson and Carl Dennel fired 19 dart legs and Ken Cliffe (Vine A) a 20 darter. John Cooper (Pioneers A) hit a 120 checkout and a 180 and other maximum men were Andy Pitt (Kings A), Pioneers A pair Tony Richardson and Mark Tirrell and Danny Ayres (LMR B).

Division One saw Horse Shoe move to the top after seeing off hosts Nantwich Road A 7-1, Terry Evanson’s opening win preventing a whitewash.

Deposed leaders Hop Pole A drop to second despite beating Amalgamated A 6-2, opening up a three points gap to Cheshire Cheese, who were held to a draw by Broughton Arms.

Shoe's Steve Hughes completed an 18 dart leg with a 118 finish, Karl Goodwin, Imp, hit a 20 darter and maximum 180s came from his teammate Stuart Wilson and Hop Pole pair Dave Yates and Neil Tudor.

Division Two returned all 5-3 wins, leaders Willaston Club extending their lead to six points with a defeat of Nantwich Road B.

Challengers Amalgamated B suffered a shock home defeat by Hawk, despite Paul Jones' 180 in a 15 dart leg.

Third-placed Sydney Arms halved their points deficit to two with a win at bottom-placed Woodside.

Woodside's cause is not helped by a points deduction due to a rule infringement.

Fourth-placed Bridge A let slip a 3-1 lead in a surprise loss to their C team.

Paul Jones (Amalgamated B) included a 180 in a 15 dart leg, Reggie Cooper (Captain Webb) and Jason Jones (Woodside) hit 20 darters and Les Clarke (Nantwich Road B), Steve Ross (Sydney) and Graham Heeps (Woodside) fired respective 105, 122 and 138 checkouts, Steve concluding his on the bull.

Division Three's probable Champions Brunel Arms B whitewashed hosts Coppenhall Club to move 10 points ahead of Kings Arms B, 5-3 winners at Vine B with third placed Cheshire Cheese a point back after beating Nags Head B, also 5-3.

Mel Roberts (Brunel B) fired a 15 dart leg, Mick Cope (Swan) a 16 darter and team mate Adam Parkinson a 115 checkout. Graham Wood (Kings B) and Ben Davies (Brunel B) recorded maximum 180’s.

Division Four has new leaders in Duke of Bridgewater B after a 6-2 defeat of their C team.

Brunel Arsms C drop to second after a 6-2 loss at Nags Head A, who move up to third, albeit way off the pace.

The Nag cause has been aided by the consistent Gavin Day, who has lost just once in the past three matches at Darts/Dominoes Singles/Pairs games, gaining his team a valuable 11 points in their unbeaten run.

Sally Evans (Duke B) won with a ton checkout, Simon Cope (Dishers A) with a 90 finish to a 21 darter and Ian Ibbotson/Dave Summers (Dishers B) a 28 dart pairs win at 25 PDA.
