Lincoln Arms take Division Two title

In the last week of the Spalding Darts season the most drama was always going to be in Division Two.

Three teams sat on the same points at the top of the league with only game difference separating them.
None of these teams were playing each other so it was an all-out win and win big to try and top the league.
The team that won the league was Lincoln Arms who were determined to take the title and beat Tigers B 9-0.
Ben Chester hit a 180 and Dave Bourne checked out 116.
Ye Olde Abbey won 6-3 against Mail Cart and doubles wins for JJ Biard, Stan Browning and Dave Norbury sealed the victory.
Steve Rawding, Harry and Paul Faulkner were the singles’ winners for the Mail Cart.
The final game in Division 2 was a 7-2 victory for Punchbowl A against Consti D and this secured them runners up spot.
Wins from Ant Norman, Harry Walsh, Simon Fidler, Chris Fidler and Paul Sellars won them the game. The sole single winner for Consti was Lindsey Wingell. Chris Fidler and Ady Smith both had 180s on the night.
Over to Division 1 and Tigers C secured runners up spot with a close 5-4 win against league winners Draymans Arms.
Draymans went 2-1 up in the pairs but the first three singles’ games went the way of the Tigers with Simon Hill, Mark Horspool and Ant Richardson winning.
Kev Newton and Logan Goddard both won for the Draymans to take the game to 4-4 but the experienced Kev Aldhouse brought the game home for the Tigers, beating Josh Grainger 2-0.
Simon Hill and Mark Horspool both had 180s and Phil Newton fired in a 127 check-out.
There was also some great darts with Horspool and Hill having a 16-dart leg in the pairs, Horspool also had a 16-dart leg in his singles. Steve Urch and Phil Newton both hit 18-dart legs.
Third place Consti A beat Consti E 8-1 with Jason Chilvers being the only winner for Consti E. Consti E only won four legs all night. Jason Vines fired in a 180.
Final game in Division 1 was a 6-3 win for the Rose and Crown against the Green Dragon.
Singles wins for Gary Mace, Hank Watson, Adam Godfrey and Ian Lawson secured the victory. Two singles winners for the Dragon were Scott Williams and Andy Porter. Williams showed why he is in the top 32 of the world with a 14 and 18-dart leg, a 106 check-out and a 180 on the night. Andy Porter had a 124 check-out and Mace rolled back the years with a 17 and 18-dart leg in his victory over Jamie Robinson.
