DARTS: Kidlington Green Social Club take step nearer ODDA title

Singles wins from Terry Wood, Neil Russell, Dave Fowler and Sean Holly gave Kidlington a 4-2 lead.

Peachcroft replied through the in-form Jason Turner, who hit two 180s, and Michael Wilkes, before the hosts won the pairs 3-0.

Challow British Legion’s title bid lost ground with a narrow 5-4 win at Section 1 side Corner House A.

Democrats Social Club lead Section 2 after a 5-4 win over the visiting George Bar A.

Playing the pairs first, Democrats raced into a 3-0 lead, but the George hit back and it needed Simon Tricker’s victory against Mark Laverack to see Demos over the line.
