Consti A maintain their 100 per cent record in Division 1 of the Spalding Darts League but they didn’t have it all their own way against Ye Olde Abbey.
Consti won 5-4 but Abbey started off the better team going into a 2-1 lead after the pairs games before Jack Chilvers levelled the score 2-2.
Dave Norbury stepped up for Abbey and beat Jason Vines thanks to a 16-dart leg.
Sam Roberts for the Consti then levelled the game before Morgan Parker won to make the score 4-3.
Abbey needed to win one of the last two games and JJ Bird started off well against Andy Bingham and missed darts to win the game and the match but then Bingham kicked in and had a fine 146 check out under pressure and had a maximum 180 in the last leg.
Bingham kept his nerve and won the last leg to set up a game between Dean Parker and Nick Moyses to see who wins the game.
Moyses won 2-0 but Dean scored very heavily and played well throughout.
