THIS week in the Penarth Darts League there was a surprise big win for the Golden Lion away to the Three Horse Shoes and a surprising close call for the league leaders against the Coronation Club B team.

At the Three Horse Shoes, the Lion took both pairs with Anthony 137 and Richie x2 along with Nathan 10 and Steve 100 x20. The Shoes took four singles points through Kelly x2, Tony x4 & x2 and Ashley 100, 100 120 x14, 100.

The Lions wins came from Nathan 120 x20 & 100 x1, Steve x6 & 10 x1 and Rob x1 & x5 and Peter hit a 138 for the Shoes in the team leg but Nathan countered with a ton for the Lion then Steve wrapped things up with x2 to seal the win at 11 - 4 to the Lion.

At the Ex’s Club the game went down to the team leg before the Ex’s could claim an 8 - 6 win.

Ex’s took both pairs with Steve x4 and the usual pairing of Paul 100 136 and Jack 140 x1. Ex’s took only three singles legs through John 100,100 x8, 100, Jack 100 10 109 x6 and x8.

Coro B winners were Russ with a maximum 180 x8, 100,x13, Shaun x7 and 100 x15, Neil x2, 100 19 x5 and Paul hit 100. Mark wrapped things up for the Ex’s A with x18 to leave the Coro B contemplating what could have been with a chance to win the match by a possible margin of nine points to five.

Final result Ex’s A 8, Coro B 6.
