OGMORE VALE & DISTRICT DARTS LEAGUE

WHILE league leaders the Vetz sat out a bye, second placed Blaengarw Rugby moved to within two points of the top with a 7-2 victory over visiting Con.

They took all three pairs through Peter Jones with Steve Dent, Phil Rice and Will Struthers also Paul Williams and Kaloue Jenkins.

Then Jones, Dent, Williams and Rice won their singles to put them 7-0 up.

However, once again it was Con stalwart Dai Davies who stopped the rot followed by young Brian Parry who saved the Con’s blushes by taking the last two games.

The real big news this week is Nev the secretary received a result card off the Inn, who beat the visiting Blaen Hotel 8-1 with pairs wins for “Legend” Nigel Blowing and “Baggy” Jones, Mark Lewis with John Hillman also Andrew and Chris Hillman.

Then there were singles wins for Brian Owen, Andrew and Chris Hillman, who hit a 16-dart leg, Lewis and Baggy.

They won two pairs courtesy of the two “Bowler hats”, Johnny Clayton and his apprentice Wade Williams, also Anthony Hopkins and Steve Humphries with Dai Frowen and Stu Angove replying for the Pant.

In the singles, Frowen and Clive Carpy won the opening two games, however, Simon Hill, Roy Nutt, Humphries and Clayton, who hit a 180, made sure the Nanty boys had a good trip home.
