Match Information

John Alker 4–3 Navigation

John Alker came out on top in a tight battle with Navigation, recovering from 3–2 down to clinch it in the decider.

Gaz O’Donnell got the hosts off the mark with a 3–2 win over Andy Broadhurst, hitting four tons and a 20-darter, while Broadhurst fired in eight tons and averaged 71.09 but couldn’t get over the line in the decider. In game 2 Gary Thompson made it 2–0 with a 3–1 win over Gary Molyneux, both players landing four tons.

Navigation hit back hard. Callum Loose dismantled Kevin Acton 3–0 with six tons, a 14-dart leg, averaging a night-best 90.18 and adding a 180 for good measure. Chris Stone followed up with a 3–2 win over Gaz Brickhill in a bruising contest packed with tons — ten for Brickhill, six for Stone, with the Navigation man coming out on top to level the match at 2–2.

Fred Hitchenson then made it three on the spin for the visitors, beating Chris Wormald 3–1 with five tons and a 22-dart leg, plus a 180 to put Navigation in front for the first time and one win away from victory.

But Alker weren’t done. Simon Jennings struck back with a 3–1 win over Andy Kindred, who hit a 180 in reply, but it wasn’t enough to stop Jennings levelling the match at 3-3.  In the deciding game, John Hawken wrapped it up in style for the Alker, sweeping aside Michael Hopps 3–0 with four tons, a 180, and an 18-dart leg to seal the comeback win.
