Match Information

Cringlewood B  3 vs 4 Metros Sports

Metros Sports continued their unbeaten start to life in the South Manchester Darts league, but were made to fight for it in a tight Division 4 tussle at the Cringlewood Club, edging the singles 4-3 and bagging the gallon 2-0.

The visitors struck first when Callum Medd took the deciding leg against Neil Chappell in Game 1, but Cringlewood B hit back immediately in Game 2 when Stephen Chipchase pinched a deciding leg to see off Harry Wilson and square the contest.

In game 3 Metros moved 2-1 ahead thanks to a good display from Mike Bray, whose 19-dart leg stood as the night’s least darts during his 2-1 win over Mark Chappell, but Cringlewood’s Sean Chappell answered with style in Game 4 – three tons, a 22-darter and a 60.12 average to level the match at 2-2.

The decisive burst from Metro’s came in Games 5 and 6, as a classy 112 checkout from Gareth Cooke was the highlight of a two-legs to nil victory over Jackson Dace, before team-mate Andrew Lewis piled in four tons and a 25-dart leg to topple Dillon Delaney, sealing the match at 4-2.

Cringlewood still had time to gain another point as Michael Basham beat Jack Yates 2-0 to make it 4-3, but the damage was already done. Metros move four points clear at the top of the table and are starting to look like one of the teams to beat this season, while Cringlewood B should be content with third place in whats been a fine start to the season for them too.
