King Billy's Cook hits fifteen tons in victory

MONDAY PREMIER LEAGUE ANDREW Cook's 15-ton haul in King Billy's 7-4 win over Indian wasn't bettered by any player across all fixtures played in the Monday Premier League.

- James cook

Cook's mammoth total included two of six 180s on the night as all three of Antony Hayman, Kevin Lofthouse and Scott Wapshott hit an effort each; Wapshott with ten tons in total.

One of Cook's maximums came in a 3-1 singles success that was put away with legs of 15 and 17 darts whilst the man Cook defeated, Danny Bull, put his name amongst the King Billy 180 hitters.

Fred Goldsmith top scored for the reigning champions Tradesmans in an 11-0 win over Colebrook and was well supported throughout with Mike O'Brien adding thirteen three figure scores and Lee Agar hitting eleven.

Agar's total was propped up by a brace of maximums whilst John Mann and Andy Bates hit the others in the match on their way to ten tons each.

Bates also recorded the highest finish of the match with a fine 117 checkout in a 3-1 singles success that was overshadowed by the individual performance of Agar.

Agar (29.47) ran through this opponent with legs of 14 and 17 darts to claim a 3-0 win in just twenty visits the dartboard whilst Nathan Langdon and Steve Towl showed their class with ten tons each.

Two of the teams most likely to make a challenge to Tradesmans' reign at the top of this particular league blew each other's hopes up as Victory B bettered Octagon A 6-5.

Thirteen tons were provided by a player from each side as Simon Washington and Paddy Archibald achieved that particular milestone.

Paul Palmer was also in good nick during the match for the defeated team as he heard a ton or more shouted no fewer than ten times.

Palmer was bested in the individual phase 3-2 by Anthony Pearn who checked the highest of four ton plus finishes with a 130 checkout.

The other major out shots came from Washington's 100, which was better twice by an Archibald 101 kill and Alfie Ford's 106; with Ford hitting two maximums to add to this feat.
