LEADING teams in the Cumberland Arms Crewe Open League darts sections seem to have their title places sewn up.
Premier Division leaders Pioneer A’s 6-2 defeat of White Lion B takes them 14 points clear of Commercial, beaten 5-3 by closest rivals West End LMR B, who are now just two points behind them.
Top marksmen were Pete Boughey (Pioneers A) with this season’s least number of darts thrown with an 11 that included a 180, backed up by Ted Hankey who won in 13 and 16.
Barry Cooper (Commercial) hit a 16 dart leg and Daniel Ayres (LMR B) won in 17 and 18. Further 18 darters were hit by Chris Gibson (Cheese) and Delamere duo Mark Tirrell and Steve Hassall, the latter including a 180 in his.
Division 1 top two ASLEF and Vine A gained 6-2 wins over Bridge C and Amalgamated A to open a good lead over third placed Foresters A, who were beaten 5-3 by Horse Shoe.
Dave Coyne (WLFL A) won in 14 and 17 darts and Steve Tizard (Hop Pole), Mick Hassall (Vine A) and Lee Pointon (Shoe) hit 18 dart legs.
Mick’s was completed with a 117 finish and Lee’s included a 180.
Jamie Hawkins (Bridge A) and Tommy Clarke (Bridge C) hit 19 darters, Tommy also on the mark with a trio of treble 19s.
Division 2 runaway leaders Imperial were held to a draw by lowly Woodside but escaped penalty as main rivals Broughton Arms and Coppenhall Leighton drew their clash.
Stuart Eastwood (Woodside) hit a 17 darter, Barrie Collins (Coppenhall Ltn) a 101 finish and Tony Taylor (Kings B) a 180.
Division 3 top two Amalgamated Nomads and Rileys A gained 6-2 wins over British Lion A and Liberal A, and drew their re-arranged clash so move well ahead of Crown, who move up to third on the strength of a 7-1 walloping delivered to Cumberland C.
Sarah Goodwin (West End Band) won with a 101 checkout.
Division 4 leaders Nags Head thrashed hosts Webb B 7-1 to go seven points clear of Dishers B, who were held to a draw at fourth placed Coppenhall Club.
Third placed Coach and Horses remain well back after a draw with Cumberland B.
Tom Heywood Jnr (Cumberland B) ended a 21 dart win with an 89 finish and Ray Morris (Cumberland A) hit a 180.
Division 5 top two Cumberland E and A both lost 6-2 to third placed Brunel A and bottom placed Victoria, who gained their first win. Fourth placed Dishers A had their bye week so are still in with a chance of being runners-up. Andrew Lindop (Vine B) hit a 180.
Division 6 toppers Liberal B suffered a shock when beaten 7-1 by visitors Rising Sun, who are now one point behind and seven clear of Duke B who beat Foresters B 6-2.
CREWE Open League’s Premier Division Dominoes pacemakers Delamere drew with third placed Golf Club on Monday.
That allowed main challengers LMR B to reduce the points deficit on the leaders to four after they beat Commercial 5-3.
Division 1 Dominoes toppers WLFL A beat Hop Pole 5-3 but had their lead trimmed to a single point by Horse Shoe, who were 6-2 winners at Foresters A.
Bridge A move ahead of Express on matches won after beating them 6-2.
Division 2 Dominoes toppers Imperial could only draw with Woodside, but again escaped without penalty as second placed Coppenhall Leighton performed similarly at Broughton Arms.
Hawk hammered Kings A 7-1 to retake third spot and have a match in hand on the top two.
Division 3 Dominoes pacemakers Liberal A were beaten 6-2 at Rileys A, who also beat Amalgamated Nomads by the same score in a re-arranged match, which takes them to second spot, seven points adrift of Liberal.
West End Band Club slip to third after losing 5-3 at Amalgamated B, but have a match in hand.
The Division 4 Dominoes top five beat the bottom five to leave the top trio of Cumberland B, Junction and Dishers B still separated by just two points.
Division 5 Dominoes leaders Brunel A won 5-3 at Cumberland E to keep three points clear of their B team, who demoted Vine B to third by beating them 5-3. The leaders have played one match more.
Division 6 Dominoes pacemakers WLFL B let slip a 3-1 advantage in their draw at Rileys B but are still clear of Rising Sun, who completed a 7-1 double win at Liberal B.
