Workmen’s B are still at the summit

But Carsons fighting for title

- Colin Paterson

With only two rounds remaining in the Airdrie and District Darts League, Workmen’s B continue to top the table.

But it is only a matter of time before Carsons Bar pounce by taking points from their two games in hand.

All Workies B can do is go through the motions of winning and hope for a miracle elsewhere

There was little resistance on derby night as Workmen’s A were on the wrong end of a 10-2 scoreline.

Scott Gibb and Stevie Carson led the way with 18- darters while Stuart Ferguson took a dart more.

Robert McFadyean was best for the ‘A’ lads with an 18-darter.

Carsons continue to rack up the wins but opponents Albert Bar put up a decent fight.

A special mention for John Davidson who hit an 18-darter and had a maximum 180.

But the Coatbridge side were too strong. Ernie Brown had 17 and 20-dart wins while Lee Barber was on the mark with an 18-darter.

The Player of the Week award went to Jim McGeary who was victorious in 16 darts. Derek Cunningham was back in better form with a 180 and an 18-darter.

At the Banks’ Club, visitors Eagle Inn will have been disappoint­ed only to get a share of the spoils.

There were maximums for Ally Kennedy and Craig McKinnon; Tommy Slavin had a 20-darter.

But the rest of the Eagle boys failed to produce their best and the Bankies salvaged a draw.

The Forge were 8-4 winners over The Boar’s Head.

Gavin Crawley hit an 18-darter with a 180 while Ricky Grant also had an 18-dart success.

Wilson Arms just failed to take something from their home match with The Clansman.

Joe Stanfield was their best player on the night, with a 98 checkout.

Two 19- darters for Davie Noon set the The Lounge up nicely but Ian Weir’s 20-dart win and a Terry McPake 180 helped The Swan to victory.

It is Grand Finals Night this Monday with the six, four and three-man team competitio­ns to be decided.

Sam Bremner faces Lee Barber in the Derek Cunningham Youth Developmen­t final while Jacqui Shaw takes on Laura Pearson in the final of the ladies’ event.

Singles and doubles titles are also up for grabs. Workmen’s A 2 , Workmen’s B 10; Banks’Social Club 6, Eagle Inn 6; Carsons Bar 8, Albert Bar 4; The Forge 8, The Boar’s Head 4; Wilson Arms 5, The Clansman 7 ; The Lounge 5, The Swan 7
