TONY Tasker's 19 scores of a ton or more in the Monday Premier League couldn't arrest his Victory team's slide to a 9-2 defeat against Tradesmans.

Victory not to be despite Tasker's 19 ton+ scores

MONDAY PREMIER LEAGUE

Simon Washington led the way in the scoring stakes for the victors with 14 ton plusses, whilst Jaden Whitting threw 13 three-figure scores overall.

Whitting's total was topped up by one of three maximums in the game as teammate Alec Turner added to a solitary three treble visit from Darren Collis for the defeated team.

Fred Goldsmith was also influential in the demolition job as he walked away from the board with a 12 ton tally for his night's efforts.

At the business end of legs, Mike O'Brien's 140 wasn't bettered by any of the 12 players on display whilst Lee Agar's singles average outshone all of his teammates.

Agar (27.83) put away two legs of his 3-0 win in 17 and 18 darts whilst O'Brien was a 3-0 winner thanks in part to another 18 darter.

Whitting's 16-dart leg proved crucial in deciding the outcome of his 3-2 triumph in the individual phase that was one of three decided by one chalk mark.

Lee Hellings was the undoubted star of the show for Octagon A with his 18 ton haul lighting up a 7-4 win over Bluebird B.

Hellings tally was topped up by his team's only 180 whilst he also came through a gruelling individual game against the away side's 12 ton man Dale Halford 3-2.

Hellings fired two legs in 18 darts whilst Halford finished one with a 15 darter and added the week's highest checkout of 158 in that defeat.

Halford's checkout pushed Paul Palmer's 135 for the victors into second best for the evening, whilst Glenn Halford was almost as influential as his family member and teammate. He netted a 180 on his way to 11 tons and claimed two legs in 17 darts during a 3-0 success, which was only bettered by a 16 darter from Lee Roberts in a 3-2 defeat.

Zak Smith fired 15 tons for Colebrook but ended up on the wrong side of an 8-3 loss as the Plympton outfit were defeated 8-3 by Legends Lounge, who saw Lewis Byrne fire a maximum.
