It was another great night for both Lickey End darts teams last night. Lickey A were away at Millfields SC and Lickey B hosted Boat & Railway.
Paul Prince opened Lickey A’s account with a 0-2 win. In Game 2 Martin Bloomer backed that up with a 0-2 win too. Game 3 saw Steve Groves put under some pressure losing his first leg but he got over the line 1-2. Ed McManus maintained his unbeaten streak for the season in Game 4 for another 0-2 win. There was more pressure for Gaz Troth losing his first leg but he won his game and the match for us 1-2. In Game 6 Russell Tolley made it a full set of singles matches 0-2 and 0-6 for the night.
In the Game 7, Steve and Martin despatched Millfields 0-2 but in the next doubles match Millfields finally got on the board narrowly beating Russ and Jim 2-1 with a 180 for Russ and Jim wiring a bull for the match. In the final match, it could have gone either way again but Milly’s clawed themselves over the line 2-1
Final score 2-7
Lickey B got ahead quickly with Matt Anthony and Billy Cowsill winning the opening games 2-0 and 2-1 respectively. Boat & Railway hit back though taking the next 2 games against Steve Brunn and Dean Caswell 0-2 too. In Game 5 Mark Wynn-Smith won 2-1 and a 2-0 win from Alvin Holland in Game 6 gave Lickey B a 2 Game lead going into the doubles.
