Well we finished in style last night with our final player matches taking place to find out which of our players will take home the trophies, and we had some cracking darts on show.

We led with the fours, with P.Betsworth, T.Moore, T.Butler & C.Shepherd up against M.Roberts, S.Perkins, R.Livingstone & D.Smith. Team Shepherd quickly found their rhythm, and walked away with the trophies for a 3-1 win.

Husband and wife pair P & M Winter took on C.Rimmer & J.Gunn, who held on for 2 legs, but the Winter team took the Winter trophy for the mixed pairs, winning 4-2

T.Moore and C.Shepherd came back out after their earlier warm up to play against J.Delaney and R.Spencer. The earlier match appears to have helped as they stormed to the victory 4-1 in the doubles.

T.Moore stayed at the oche to be joined by P.Winter Snr, with both players ready for their sparring in the over 50’s. The respite between matches seemed at first to not favour P.Winter, with T.Moore taking the early lead, but the fight to the finish ended with P.Winter on top winning 4-3

P.Winter Snr was then joined at the oche by son P.Winter Jnr & B.Szabados in the triples against S.Doore, S.Perkins & J.Bartlett. As a twist, this match was played double-in and double-out.
Doore, Perkins and Bartlett did not hang about and took the first leg, and storming into an early lead in leg 2, with Winter, Winter and Szabados held back trying to get their double. But there was no messing once they got going, and the family pair both threw 180s to hit back and the team levelled the score.
And they kept the momentum going to take the next 2 legs to win 3-1

Our final game before the presentation saw C.Shepherd head to head with P.Winter Snr, both having played already and being in winning teams. And this showed as the matches were evenly balanced to 3-3. C.Shepherd took the advantage in the 7th leg, and did not look back in leg 8 with some high scoring securing a 5-3 win.
