BEN’S PLAICE POLPERRO DARTS LEAGUE LATEST

JUST two points separate the bottom two teams after the latest round of fixtures on Friday night.

A Team grabbed a brace of points against Legion when Liam Thomas and Julie Whiston took a doubles point against Jim Nelson and Stuart Devoy. Liam then completed his double for the evening as he also took a point in the singles.

Second bottom Old School Foxes travelled to Polruan to take on league leaders Wanderers, but no mercy was shown by Wanderers as they demolished Foxes without losing a leg.

Morgan Bickley, for the second time this season, hit three 180s.

The ‘Wooden Spoon’ could be decided on Friday as A Team and Foxes face each other.

Elsewhere in the division, Steve Rendle saw off Tom Bawden 2-1 in the final match to give Pelynt Travellers a 5-4 victory over the Polruan Pirates, while the mid-table battle between Russell Smugglers and Pelynt went the way of the Smugglers, 8-1.

Bulls Hitters travelled to Polperro to face Wasted Seamen and despite losing the last two singles to Nathan Warren and Gareth Bailey, came away with six points.

Rowett Rebels travelled to Lanreath to take on fourth-placed Udder Bullocks.

It was always going to be a tricky tie and could leave Rebels with a mountain to climb if they were to stay in touch with Wanderers for the title.

Rebels started well and raced to a 4-0 lead.

Owen Jackson stopped the rot by beating Barrie Evans before Kye Skeldon and Nathan Toms put Rebels back in control with wins against Terry Collins and Matt Lorenz.

Johnny Collins grabbed a second point for Bullocks when he beat Kyle Courtis, but Matt Gilham kept the title race open with a victory over Andy Bebb.

The 7-2 win keeps them three points behind Wanderers.
