Those finishes - and one of the four 180s between the two teams - ticked his ton tally over to the 13 mark, whilst the decisive game of the match result came in the final singles rubber.

Andy Malinowski was the hero of the hour as he put on a 15-dart leg and a 180 during an accomplished 3-0 win that gave the away team the spoils.

Col Maddocks fired a third maximum for the away side, whilst the main highlights for the home team were a 180 and a 113 checkout from Marc Webber and George Beckett, respectively.

John Mann's (30.30) 3-1 individual triumph dominated multiple headlines in a 6-5 win in a top of the table clash with Ford Inn. The epic contest was started by Mann teaming with Fred Goldsmith and Alfie Ford (25.03) to put 1001 points away in just 40 darts before the second trebles went even better.

Sean Taylor, Lee Hellings, and Neil White (27.81) secured their game with a 36-darter that included the first of Taylor's 180s before the away team roared back.

In the middle of three doubles games, all taken by the visitors, Scott Cook and Scott Wapshott (26.71) fired a 20-darter during a 2-0 win that contributed to a 3-2 lead going into the individuals. Cook and Wapshott both added maximums in that contest, whilst Taylor made it three to his name already in the final doubles game with a brace.

Hellings started the singles with a 3-1 success that contained a leg in 14 and a sixth 180 to make it 12 tons for his night's work. Despite ending on the wrong side of a 3-1 defeat to Mark Shears, Goldsmith still claimed a 13-ton total before Cook put his team on the edge of victory at 5-3 up.

Cook's 3-0 triumph saw one of the trio of legs dispatched with a 100 three-dart combination outshot that was narrowly beaten to the high checkout honour in the very next game.
