Bill Scannell won the winning point in the final game with the scores tied at 5-5, whilst Webber was also clinical in the finishing section of the game.

A 117 checkout accented Webber's mammoth ton total, whilst his crucial 16-darter in a 3-2 win was the best leg of 501 in the match.

Webber's team-mate, George Beckett, was also prominent with the only maximum on his way to ten scores of a ton or more.

Simon Kelly continued his explosive current form with 15 scores of a ton or more in his Kings Arms B side's 9-2 pummelling of Kelly's old team-mates Saltram.

Kelly was well supported in the endeavour by Tony Gordon, who added ten tons to the scoreboard, whilst Dave Johns added the victorious host's only maximum.

Gordon (27.32) dispatched his singles opponent 3-0 with the help of two 18-darters, whilst team-mate Martyn Down was a 3-2 winner over Mark Lyons thanks in part to a 118 highest checkout of the game.

Lyons showed good moments for the defeated side with a 17-darter during his defeat and also was the only member of his side to hear '180' called after throwing.

Reg Matthews also checked a leg in 17 darts during another 3-2 loss for the visitors, whilst Paul Hendy top scored for the defeated team with ten tons overall.

main Lee Doncaster was the aggressor for King Billy in a 10-1 win over Indian Inn that saw Doncaster nail two ton-plus checkouts on his way to 14 three-figure scores.

Doncaster's 106 and 128 three dart combination out shots were still not the best out shots of the match as team-mate Paddy Archibald showed the class that recently earned him Cornwall county honours.

Archibald put away not just the highest finish of the match, but also the biggest checkout across both divisions of the league with a fine 150 finish.
