Goldsmith teamed with John Mann and Alfie Ford (31.28) and put away 1001 points in just 32 darts in a match that started how it meant to go on.
Lee Hellings, Neil White and Paul Palmer (25.67) ploughed home a 39-darter over the 1001 distance before Hellings and Ford paired for an 18-dart 601 leg in the doubles. However, the visitors ended the team games just one adrift at 3-2 to give them some hope of potentially claiming the spoils in the match after an ominous start.
That 3-2 scoreline very quickly became 4-2 as Goldsmith was a 3-0 winner with the help of a 94 checkout, whilst Hellings netted 15 and 16-dart legs in another 3-0 win and ended his night on 14 tons.
Ford made the win safe with another 3-0 success that rounded off a ten-ton personal tally before Palmer added two of the five maximums in the game to go alongside a 16-dart leg in his 3-1 triumph.
Mann made it 8-2 with ten of his 15 scores of a ton or more coming in a 3-2 success over Paddy Archibald who himself fired a leg in 17.
Mann’s leg in 16 and 180 proved to be crucial in the destination of the double-yew, which came before White’s 3-0 triumph that was accented by his second maximum of the night and a fourth leg in 16 for the team.
Simon Stevenson was Cornwall Gate’s hero in more ways than one with his 15 ton total contributing heavily to a hard fought 6-5 win over Cherry Tree C.
Stevenson was one of three 180 hitters well supported in the win by Andy Malinowski who reached 14 tons overall.
Steve Rice ended his night as stand in for Shaun Dring with 11 tons whilst Matt Vosper was a tenton hitter in a spell that included a 106 checkout.
After taking the lion’s share of the five team games, Frankie Stout extended the Pennycross side’s lead with his team’s only 180 the highlight of a 3-0 win.
