St Anthonys C vs Fusion Sports

Match Information

St Anthonys C 4 – 3 Fusion Sports

Fusion Sports fell to their first league defeat of the season as St Anthonys C claimed their first win after edging a tight contest 4-3, though Fusion Sports did manage to win the gallon 2-1.

Game 1 saw Dale Holt settle the hosts’ nerves, tidying up in two straight legs against Lewis Walker. Eddie Williamson then doubled the advantage in Game 2, but had to withstand a maximum from Stephen Barnes before pinning the winning double in the deciding leg.

Fusion found their footing in Game 3 as Andrew Mills pulled it back to 2-1 overall with a neat 2-0 success over Steve Williams, but any hopes of an away surge were checked immediately in Game 4, where Jimmy Starr produced the performance of the night – three ton-plus scores and a 20-dart leg powered him past Jon Cummins and restored the home sides two game cushion at 3-1.

Daniel Long kept Fusion alive in Game 5, whitewashing Ryan Horrocks to narrow the gap to 3-2, but Dan Tierney answered in kind in Game 6, sweeping aside Martin Long and banking the league points for St Anthonys at 4-2.

There was still time for Fusion to grab a further consolation point, and so it was as Matthew Barnes reduced the deficit in the final game, completing a tidy 2-0 win over John Holt to leave a final scoreline of 4-3 to the home side.
