With all resting on the final game, Rob Morris claimed the match for Widnes Cricket Club.

The Birchfield at home to the Goldmine in a top of the table encounter conceded the first game to Sean Bell.

However, they soon took the lead thanks to wins recorded by Carl Bryan and Trevor Chadwick.

In the pairs, the Birchfield pressed on with further successes for Matty Fisher & John Leather and Keith Allen & Trevor Chadwick (16 darts.

The Goldmine needed to get back in the game and did so through Phil Corless & Sean Bell in the final pairs contest and back in the singles through Phil Corless.

However, the Birchfield’s Matty Fisher secured the penultimate game and the match to seal two vital points in the title and promotion race.

It was of no consolation as John Taylor gave the Goldmine the final game.

The Mersey Hotel at home to the Majors Arms, took the points by default as the Majors failed to field a side on the night.
