The 180s in the contest went the way of Borthwick’s teammates, Adam Fell and Adam Truscott, whilst the latter also played a part in the fireworks at the business end of legs.

Truscott teamed with Logan Carroll to put away 601 points in just 16 darts during a 2-0 doubles win, with the best over the 501 distance fired by Kori Truscott in a 3-1 reversal.

Niall McGarvey led Clifton’s charge to a 9-2 win versus Staddiscombe with ten ton-plusses with the two standout moments of his haul included a 127 checkout and a 180. McGarvey’s stablemate, Andy Pengelly, showed sharpshooting in the finishing stages with 99 and 130 outshots, whilst the only moment of magic from the defeated side was a 190 from Callum Fradeley.

Liam Taylor's ten ton-plus haul included the game’s only 180 for Victory B as the away side secured a 6-5 triumph at Victoria. Gary Eaton's 3-0 singles success for the defeated party included the best leg of 501 in the contest, with an 18-darter contributing to his win.

Two 180s and an 85 finish from David Young couldn't arrest Indian B's slide to a 7-4 loss at the hands of King Billy B, while Bluebird B returned from their trip to Kings Arms A with a 9-2 win that was accentuated by maximums from Jon Parsons and Dan Hurley.

Parsons’ 180 came in a 3-0 singles win that also saw him plunder a leg in 18 darts, which was matched by teammate Owen Cook, who also added an 80 finish.

Maximums from Ian Heggie and Paul Tackle, as well as Roger Bailey's 18-darter and 129 checkout, provided some of the sparkle that led Ker St A to an 8-3 win against Herbert A.

Dave Carroll’s 80 checkout gave Herbert B their only noteworthy moment of a 10-1 win over Ker St B, whilst every leg went to Hyde Park in an 11-0 win versus Duchy B.
