Ronnie Wade chipped in with thirteen dolls (3-5-5) as they won all three legs 28-21, 31-15, 29-17. Neil Lyon was top dog for The Prince with thirteen dolls (5-5-3).

In Section 2, Rose Hill A scored more dolls than their hosts Six Bells ‘A’ Quarry (68-65), but still lost out 2-1.

Ian Sharp hit ten dolls for Pheasant, who have yet to win this season.

Meanwhile, The Three Horsehoes anchorman Jon Dunhill’s heroics were in vain as they went down to a narrow 2-1 defeat against Prince Of Wales in Section 6.

Having won the first leg 17-11, Prince set the next leg with 18. Dunhill whipped off the five dolls needed to tie the leg, only for them to lose out on a three stick shoot-out.

Prince took the decider 22-17.
