Doubling up for divisional cups

A new format saw double-in, double-out for the Spalding League divisional cup quarter-finals.

In the Division One Supreme Cup, Lincoln Arms A beat Rose and Crown C 5-4 in a last-game decider.

Dave Bourne held his nerve to beat Kev Aldhouse. Ant Richardson kept up his good form after being named Northamptonshire County A team player of the season, by firing in another 180 in his win.

Lincoln will play Royal Mail Cart in the next round after they despatched Rose & Crown A. A solid start put Mail Cart 3-0 up and singles wins for Paul Faulkner, Jacob Herd and Stu Page sealed victory. Harry Faulkner started with a 160 in and missed his double for a 141 check out to have the magical six-darter.

The other semi final will be between Ye Olde Abbey and Consti A, who both had 8-1 victories.

Abbey beat Consti D 8-1 with John Robinson being the only winner for the Consti against JJ Bird.

In Division Two’s Dick Morgan Cup there will be a tasty semi-final between Consti E and Holbeach Services A.
Holbeach beat Riverside A 7-2, with Danny Goddard having a 101 checkout in his win over Carl Kirk. The sole singles winner for Riverside was Andy Picinelli, who beat Stu Stephens.
