BULLSEYE: Darts round-up with Steve Chapman
BRUCE HARRISON BUILDERS LTD 501 TOP 20 LEAGUE
DESPITE losing their first eight matches, Porters A are beginning to turn their season around having won their last four contests.
-
They led Octagon Social Club B 5-2 but, despite the visitors pulling it back to 5-5, aided by an 11-dart leg in a 3-0 win for Terry Carey, Steve Bishop won the decisive 11th point edging out Dave Graham 3-2.
Porters C remain top after a 7-4 victory at Ker Street Social Club, for whom Craig Hillary (100x13) caught the eye, but their advantage has been cut to a point after City Social A secured all but one of the 10 points on offer when hosting Saltram Social Club.
