Bulls Head vs Fusion Aces

Match Information

The Bulls Head and Fusion Aces served up a belter in Week 3, with the visitors edging a 4–3 victory, their third straight win over the Hale Barns outfit.

It was Fusion who landed the early blow, as Andy Brownhill proved why he’s spent most of his time in Division 1 as he got them off to a flyer in the first game of the night. He swept aside Bo Bowman in straight legs, firing in four 100+ scores, a 19 darter and a match-best 68.31 average. Bulls Head hit back in Game 2 as Iain Fish outlasted Chris Cordingley in a scrappy five-leg battle, notching four tons of his own.

Game 3 saw the Aces pull ahead again, this time through Nigel Beeton, who turned on the style with seven 100+ scores, a 104 checkout — the highest of the night — and an 18-dart leg in a ruthless 3–0 win over Gareth Shaw. Darren Wood then made it 3–1 overall by edging out Alex Rydstrom in five. Despite a modest 37.20 average, he found the key darts when it counted, denying Rydstrom the decider.

Jamie Harris sparked a late rally for the home side with a sharp 64.41 average and an 18-dart leg in a dominant 3–0 win over Andy McCormack, but Iris Bannister sealed the match for Fusion in Game 6, battling to a 3–2 win over Steve Hazlehurst.

With the result already decided, Rob Barber grabbed a final win for Bulls Head, taking out Alex Wood 3–1 to keep the scoreline respectable at 4–3. The hosts also took the gallon 2–1, but it was Fusion Aces who walked away with the league win.
