It was another excellent night of action in the Welshpool and District Darts League, sponsored by The New Saints FC, writes Steve Lloyd.

The Kings Head A are looking strong at the top after a fine 6-1 win at the Green Dragon C, whose Paul Banfield (180) was the only victor. Jon Gamble, Dave Rix (102 out shot) Kacey Jones (180), Gareth Steadman and both doubles went the Kings Head’s way.

The Green Dragon A move into second spot after a 7-0 win at the Grapes A with Rob Shingler, Mitch Butler (180), Rhys Butler, Dave Boyle and Den Williams all winning their singles before they also took both doubles matches.

A very closely fought match between the Punchbowl and the Compass went the latter’s way 4-3. Mike Hall (171), Chris Jay (18-dart 501), and Liam Astley won for the Punchbowl and Gareth Richards (180), Brian Jones and both doubles went for the Compass.

The Westwood B came away from Oak Guilsfield and with a 5-2 win. Aled Jones and Mike Walsh won for the Oak, while Jamie Cater, Jordan Harding, Chris Proctor and both doubles went to the Westwood B.

The match between the Westwood A and Red Lion A was postponed.

In the second division, Castle A have hit top spot after a fine 6-1 win at the Powis Arms Pool Quay. Unfortunately, there was no card on Facebook to report from.
