AULD HOOSE GO TOP OF THE PILE - Issue 16

The Auld Hoose powered to a three point lead at the top of the League courtesy of a convincing 9 – 0 win at the Quarterdeck. Meanwhile the Rugby Club ‘A’ had to settle for a 6 – 3 victory over a determined County ‘A’ side. Aberlady BC kept up their momentum with an excellent 8 – 1 victory at the Legion whilst East Linton BC came up with the same score line at the Castle Inn. The Rugby Club O50 also recorded an 8 – 1 score line, this over club rivals the Rugby Club ‘B’. The Golfers Rest ‘A’ made home advantage pay with a fine 6 – 3 win over the Dalrymple. Finally the Golfers Rest ‘B’ won by 8 – 1 over bottom team, the County Cola Cubes. Apart from the Auld Hoose going clear at the top, Week 17 saw no other significant movement in the League table.

Another raft of 180s to report this week which takes our seasonal total to 41 maximums so far – more already than were scored all last season. A total of 5 maximums were scored during the League Pairs Qualifying. WELL DONE to Craig Burn (Rugby Club ‘A’) who scored his fifth 180 of the season to maintain his lead in this season’s competition. Ronnie Anderson (Rugby Club ‘A’) scored his third of the season whilst Alan Naylor ( Rugby Club ‘A’) and Colin Cunningham (Auld Hoose) both recorded their second of the season. Neil Meikle (Aberlady BC) hit his first of the season. George Learmonth (County ‘A’) scored his second maximum of the season in the League match against the Rugby Club ‘A’ whilst M ike Holland (Aberlady BC) hit his first against the Legion. Tom Penny (East Linton BC) scored his first of the season in the Knockout Semi-Final versus the County ‘A’. Again WELL DONE everyone.

There was also a change in the Highest Checkout Competition with Brad Chisholm hitting an excellent 167 (T20, T19, Bull) in the Pairs Qualifiers. WELL DONE BRAD. Only the maximum 3 dart checkout can now beat this so whose going to do a 170 checkout?

The first semi-final of the Knockout was played on Wednesday evening resulting in a comprehensive 4 – 0 win for East Linton BC over the County ‘A’. East Linton will now play the winner of the Rugby Club ‘A’ and Aberlady BC in the final.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVES AT THE SCOTTISH OPEN THIS WEEKEND.
