IN the Penarth Darts League the Rafa had their second big win on the trot this week taking 21 points in two games and appear to be putting in a determined effort to catch the league leaders (Ex’s A) by the end of the season.

It was the Lion A that took on the Rafa this week and although most games went close the Rafa came out on top winning by 11 points to the Lion’s six.

Lion A took the first pairs with Steve 125 100 and Nathan x 10, Nathan took the next for the Rafa with x2.

All the singles went to three legs with the Lion taking five points through Steve 100, 120 x20, 140, Rob x20, x20, Nathan 137 100, 140 x5, Mike 125 x4.

Rafa took seven singles wins with Gary H 100 135 x1, 100, 140 x10, Nathan 125 x15, Lee x20 x8, Gary E 115 x20, 100 x20.

The team leg went the Rafa’s way when Nathan hit x4 for the three points.

At the Ex’s club things also ran close with the home side, the Ex’s B, taking on their own A side, things were bound to be tense.

The B side took both pairs with Dave 100 x2 and Kevin 100 140 and a 76 out shot on x20.

Singles were shared, the B side took four points through Kevin 100 125 x16, 100 138 x4, Dave x1 and 100 140 x8, the A sides winners were John 100 x20 and 100 x5, Jack 100 100 x20, Mark S 100 x10 and 140 x16.

With the B side leading at 6-5 it was all to play for but the A team were able to step up their game with Paul hitting 140 and Mark S 100, captain Jack slotted in x5 to wrap up the proceedings and took the three points for the A side. Final score, B side six, A side eight.
