Barnes setting pace with perfect record

His team-mate Adam Lipscombe has the highest finish so far.

He recorded a 158 game-shot, while Shearer Arms’ Jon Bramble fired in a 12-dart leg which has yet to be bettered.

Five players have lost just one game in division B.

That puts Admiral Drake C’s Luke Smith, Harvest Home’s Paul Storey, Old House at Home’s Liam Jafkins, Portland Arms’ Asa Norris and Raven’s Alan Unwin all in a share of top spot.

Dave Lock currently sits in pole position for the both of division B’s other honours with a 156 finish and 15-darter.

Stag duo Dion Juke and Jim Snook, Fred Fuggle, of Baffins, and Michael Chandler, of Eldon Arms, are all undefeated in division C.

Snook has also notched a 15-dart leg which is the fastest so far.

And Terry Dugan’s 148 check-out for Lord Chichester A is the biggest game-shot.

Mermaid’s Gary Hornby leads division D’s aggregate race having won every game so far.

Fawcett Inn’s Steve Goodeve has the biggest check-out with 102.

And an 18-dart leg by Mike Newbery, of Fifth Hants Volunteer Arms, sees him hold the honour of fastest leg to date.
