The Millfield at home to Halton Stadium conceded the first game to the Stadium’s Alan Magee.
Ian Wall then levelled for the Millfield. Neil Ward took the Stadium ahead, but again the Millfield rallied, this time through their opening pair, Alan Sutton & Ian Wall.
That was to be as good as it got for the Millfield as the Stadium took the remaining five games and the match through Alan Magee & John Bowles (18 darts), Tony Jackson & Mike Callaghan (17 darts), Mike Callaghan, Tony Jackson (19 darts) and Colin Rigby (18 darts).
Widnes Cricket Club at home to Farnworth SC started badly as they conceded the first five games to Farnworth’s Trevor Chadwick (15 darts), Ian Sharples, Dave Herley, Paul Smith & Alan Rigby and Carl Bryan & Keith Allen thereby condemning them to defeat.
The Cricket Club’s Danny Mellor & Ben Hewitt took the next game, only to see John Leather add to Farnworth’s tally. The Cricket Club then took the remaining two games through Rob Morris and Danny Mellor, but they were just consolations in the end.
Widnes Bowling Club ‘B’ at home to the Ball took the first game through Dave Batty (19 darts).
The Ball then levelled via Martin Ball (19 darts), before going ahead through Ste Whitfield. The Bowler levelled with a win from their opening pair, Ste Kelly & Alan Pennington.

The Stute were still in with a chance as Dave Evans won to make it 4-4.
The outcome was resolved as Sean Bell (15 darts) took the final game and the match for the Goldmine.
