Dog & Partridge vs Buck Inn-eers

Match Information

Dog & Partridge 6 – 1 Buck Inn-eers

Didsbury based Dog & Partridge swept aside the Buck Inn-eers 6-1, and in doing so gained some level of revenge after home and away defeats to the Ashton-on-Mersey side last season. The visitors did sneak the gallon 2-1, and even took an early lead in the main game, but that was as good as it got as the Dog & Partridge then reeled off six games on the bounce to secure a comprehensive win.

The Buck Inn-eers got off to a bright start as Joshua Craven edged a deciding leg against Dominic Powell in a tight opening game, but Elliot Wynne immediately levelled matters, with four tons and a 25-darter during a deciding leg win against James Abbey which levelled the match at 1-1. From there, The Dog & Partridge never looked back. Game 3 saw Chris Pollard get the winning double against Rick Hindle in another deciding leg to nose the hosts 2-1 in front, before Tom Spillane produced the evening’s first 22-dart leg in game 4 while beating George Banner 3-0 to put the home side 3-1 up and on the brink of victory.

The Dog & Partridge didnt have long to wait to secure their second win of the season, and it came in game 5 after Dave Harris saw off Charlotte Bloomfield 2-0 to secure the bonus points. The lead  was soon extended further to 5-1 after Graham Beech found the only 180 of the night en-route to a 2-1 success against Declan Law, and the hosts showed they were in no mood to let up as the final game of the night went the way of Chris Conduit, who hit three-tons, a 22-dart leg and an evenings-best 59.94 average during a 2-0 dismissal of Matt Kershaw.
