Match Information

Navigation 4–3 Urmston SC

Navigation edged a 4–3 thriller against Urmston SC in Altrincham, taking the gallon and clinching the match in the final game after the lead swung back and forth all night.

Urmston’s Gaz Lane set the bar high early in Game 1, holding off Michael Hopps 3–2 with eight tons and a 16-dart leg, while Hopps fired in three tons and a 96 checkout in reply, but couldn’t convert in the decider as Urmston took a 1–0 lead. Navigation struck back through Andy Kindred in Game 2, who swept past Harry Fitton 3–0 with six tons, a 21-darter and a nice 68.32 average. Fitton averaged 70.00 himself but couldnt find a double in any of the legs.

Fred Mitchenson nudged Navigation 2–1 ahead in Game 3 with a 3–2 win over Stephen Lye. Mitchenson hit four tons, while Lye had six of his own and a 19-darter, but it was Fred who found the key checkout in the deciding leg. Urmston drew level again at 2–2 when Mason Gamble beat Gary Molyneux in another five-leg scrap, hitting nine tons and a 20-dart leg in a strong display while Molyneux had eight tons and a 17-darter in reply, but couldn’t take the decider.

Callum Loose then showed his class with a storming 3–0 win in Game 5 to push Navigation back ahead, firing in two 180s, four tons, and the least darts of the night — an 11-darter — finishing with a 73.92 average to dominate Luke Lonergan. Urmston weren’t done though, with Glynn Griffiths forcing a final game decider after beating Matt Bulger 3–2 in Game 6. Griffiths threw five tons, while Bulger hit two and checked out in 24 darts for his best leg, but it wasn’t enough to stop the match going to the wire.

It all came down to Andy Broadhurst vs Dave Tong in Game 7, and Broaddhurst delivered — winning 3–2 in a nervy decider. Broadhurst posted four tons, a 16-darter and a 63.18 average as the Navigation claimed the win.
