AD PROPERTY POLPERRO AND DISTRICT DARTS LEAGUE REPORT – FRIDAY, APRIL 5

Shipfaced secured the title with a 6-3 victory over stablemates, Wasted Seaman.

The race for second place goes down to the wire as Pelynt Travellers lost 5-4 to Pelynt. 

Third-placed Polruan Pirates closed the gap to three points with a 6-3 victory at Legio, although it could have closed even more with John Granger losing only his fourth game of the season to Phil Cunningham.

Tom Bridger and Ben Lewis both won the singles but teamed up and lost the doubles against Tom Smith and Steven Oliver and in the final match of the evening, while Steve Lewis lost 2-1 to  Gary Birkett.

Pelynt's win against Travellers meant they held onto fourth spot, while Udder Bullocks moved within two points after an 8-1 victory over Russell Smugglers.

A further two points adrift are Bulls Hitters who had a 6-3 victory against Russell Rebels. Ellie Sainsbury was the only singles winner for Rebels against Graham Hoare. 

In the final match of the season, Bulls Hitters could still snatch fourth place as they face bottom club A Team.

Old School Flingers almost sealed the fate of A Team who are now four points adrift at the foot of the table, but do look to be holding onto last year’s Wooden Spoon.

The two points for A Team, in the 7-2 defeat were singles wins for Gary and Ann Footman.
