The top two teams in Division A of the Hereward Sports Pinchbeck & District Summer League met for the first time this season and it was the Lincoln Arms A who came out victorious.
A close game saw them emerge 15-12 victors over Services Club B to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Services’ Ben Chester hit a 180 in his 2-1 win against Paul Blow, while Andy Bingham 180 for the Lincoln against Ady Smith helped him to a 2-1 win.
There was a 14-dart leg for in-form Jimmy Tenno and Steve Gaughan cleared in 17 for the Lincoln side.
Consti Club C continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 15-12 victory over the Consti Club Z.
Ted Howling had a 100 checkout but that did not stop him losing his game 2-1 to Dan Merrill.
There were 180s for Calum Ward and Rob Green from the Z team.
Green Dragon A recorded their first win of the season with a comprehensive 20-7 thrashing of Lincoln Arms C.
Shayne Hubbard hit a 180 and a 13-dart leg to star for the Dragon side.
The highlight in Division B was Lisa Brooks hitting a 171 (3xT19) for the Consti Club D in her game against Michael Harrison of the Drayman’s Arms A. Unfortunately that was not enough to stop her losing 2-1, although the Consti side did come out 17-10 winners. Shane Thorpe threw a 109 checkout for the Drayman’s side.
There was a 17-dart leg for Kev Newton of the Drayman’s Arms B in their win against Consti Club A.
