It was a good night for the away teams last week. However, the Taf very nearly lost their first match at the Farmers, just scraping through on the final leg. And that was after Farmers had earlier played the Parcylan B, who only had five players and they only managed to beat them on the last leg as well. A busy week for the Parcylan B also saw them lose to the RFC B on the Monday and to the RAOB A. The RFC A slipped up again losing at home to the in- form Ivy Bush. The battle of the Angel teams saw the boys from Llandissilio taking the honours, while the Stanley Arms made it a worthwhile journey up north, coming away with a good win at the Glandy. The Dragon saw a 4-2 lead turn into defeat at the hands of the RFC B, while the Parcylan A managed a big win at the RAOB B. Lawrenny chalked up a good home win at the expense of the Plash. Achievements on the night came from Steve Pallas (RAOB A) 21 darts and 109 out, Rob and Lyndon (Farmers) 20 darts, Chris Viggars (Farmers) 20 darts, Lyndon Williams (Farmers) 180, Kim Llewellyn (Taf) 21 darts and 133 out, Chris and Gavin (Taf) 20 darts, Gareth Howells (Angel Llan) 21 darts, and Danny Unsworth (Ivy Bush) 180.
