Workies continue top form in Airdrie darts

The Workmen’s C took another step closer to securing The Airdrie and District Darts League title with a comprehensive victory this week against The Clansman.

Their opening squad of Graham Anderson, Ernie Brown, William Borland and Derek Cunningham would dent the confidence of any team, but The Clansman plugged away and managed a brace of singles victories and a pairs win.

In the end ,they were no match for the league leaders.

The best match of the night though was at The Eagle where The Post were visitors.

The Post were looking to secure second place in the league while the home side had not given up hope of attaining that position themselves.

At the end the clash it was a poor result for both teams – a draw.

Ped Cummings earned an 18-dart win for The Eagle while team mate Martin Moulds was pleased with his two 18-dart wins. Peter McKenzie hit a 17-darter for the visitors, while Robert O’Donahue hit a 180.

At The Workmen’s Club, the B team kept up their hunt for second place with an easy win over The Cue Here.

In fact, at one point they were on target to set a new league record by winning every leg.

That history-making bid failed on the 15th leg of the match.

Davie Cunningham had a 17-dart win for the hosts and Scott Gibb hit 15-dart and 17-dart wins.

At The Swan, The West End were happy come away with a point.

‘Stu Who’hit a 15-dart win while Sandy Stewart was on form with a 21.

John Davidson completed a decent night for The Westenders with a 180 and an 18-dart win.

The Barnyard also continue to impress.

Ricky Grant led from the front with 19-dart and 20-dart wins in their match against The Workmen’s A.

Tam McKnight had a 180 for the Coatbridge lads and that was matched by Jimmy McCreadie, who also had a 16-dart win.

McCreadie won’t be far away in The Singles Championship in the coming months.

Andy McCorquodale’s 180 helped The Boar’s Head to come away with a point at the Bank Social Club which surely now leaves the battle for the wooden spoon between The Cue Here and The West End.
