SEVENTEEN scores of a ton or more from Nick Miller gave Beacon Park B the platform to claim a 9-2 Steve Chapman 501 League victory against Fawn A.

- By JAMES COOK

Nick Miller registered 17 scores of a ton or more

Nick Bryant provided decent support for Miller with ten ton plusses, with his best effort coming in the form of a maximum.

Mike Trim ended his night on ten tons for the defeated party, whilst other maximums came from Dave Lee and Rob Pomeroy.

Steve Mills’ 117 checkout bettered 100 finishes from Lee and Melvyn German, whilst Bryant was a 3-0 winner thanks in part to a pair of 17 darters.

Lee Hellings also had a good singles game with 18 and 16 dart legs contributing to his 3-0 win, and the difference between Miller and Pomeroy in a 3-2 victory for the former was a 16 darter of his own.

Leaders Falstaff had Scott Lawrey in good nick as he plundered 15 scores of a ton or more to lead the team to a 6-5 win at St Levans.

Paul Goundry played a supporting role well and walked away from the oche with 11 three-figure visits, whilst Mike and Tex Pearce echoed the away team’s achievements.

Tex was the main aggressor with the 15 ton haul, whilst Mike anchored the hosts’ charge with 11 ton plusses.

Lawrey’s 180 was the only effort of its kind, and Darren Collis provided a further ten tons to exert himself on the contest.

Collis ticked off one of a trio of three figure outshots with a 126 finish that meant a 120 from Harry MacGregor and a 100 from Mike Pearce had to settle for second and third best.

The quality arrows started from ‘game on’ call number one of the singles phase as Pearce added a 17 dart leg to his 3-1 victory over Rowe, who put away a leg in 15 darts.

Collis notched legs in 17 and 18 darts to secure a 3-1 success of his own before Lawrey fired 15 and 18 dart legs during a 3-2 loss to Tex Pearce, who nailed what turned out to be a crucial 18 darter.

After the first ten matchups were shared, Tony Tasker held his nerve in the crucial 11th and deciding rubber with a 3-0 victory.
