TOP THREE ALL HAVE BIG WINS – COLA CUBES HIT DOUBLE FIGURES

The top three all recorded big wins in Week 18 to maintain the status quo at the top of the League. Leading the way were table toppers, the Auld Hoose, who had a maximum 9 – 0 win over the Legion whilst the Rugby Club ‘A’ also recorded a 9 – 0 victory, this over the Quarterdeck. Aberlady BC extended their third place lead to sixteen points with a 8 – 1 win over the Rugby Club ‘B’. East Linton BC remain in fourth place with a narrow 5 – 4 win over the County ‘A’ but lose ground on third place. The Rugby Club O50 closed to within one point of fourth place with an 8 – 1 victory over the Golfers Rest ‘B’ – highlight of this match was the father and son meeting of Jim and Russell Beck – who won? well lets just say age and guile overcame youth and exuberance. The Golfers Rest remain in the top six with a good 6 – 3 win over the Castle Inn. Despite losing out by 7 – 2 to a consistent Dalrymple side the County Cola Cubes have now reached the double figure milestone of games won/points amassed – Well Done ladies.

After many weeks of reporting 180s scored on a regular basis – a rare occurrence this week – none reported.

The Scottish Open Darts were played last weekend at the Normandy Hotel to which six Coastal League players went. Alas five of the six went out in the first round with only Willie Whellans winning a couple of matches before succumbing to a very good Cheshire County player. Despite the offer of free beer from yours truly El Presidente could not prise a leg from World No.15, Martin Atkins. Well done to all who competed in the Open which in general is a standard way above our norm in the Coastal League.

Look out for next week’s issue I may have photographs of the players at the Open.
