Fusion Sports 5 – 2 Cringlewood B
Fusion Sports turned in a solid display at home to notch a comfortable 5–2 win against Cringlewood B, and while the visitors took the gallon with a 2–1 win, it was the Timperely side who claimed the league win that sees them 1 point off the lead in this early stage of the season.
Jackson Dace got Cringlewood off to a flying start in Game 1, with a deciding leg win over Stephen Barnes in which he hit four 100+ scores, a 79 finish, and a superb 15-dart leg, along with the highest average of the night with a 63.27.

Matthew Barnes got the hosts on the board in Game 2 with a 2–1 win over Harrison Doherty, and Michael McNeil followed up in game 3 by beating Michael Basham by the same margin. Daniel Long then saw off Nick Delaney 2–1 in Game 4, and Rhys Barnes added a clean 2–0 win over Mark Chappell in Game 5 to secure the win. Andrew Mills added a bit more gloss for Fusion in Game 6, coming through a tight contest against Dillon Delaney with a 2–1 win, but Cringlewood pulled one back late as Sean Chappell defeated Tony Pope 2–0 in the final singles.
