Darts: Ladies^ darts round-up
NORFOLK ’n’ Chance made a significant move at the top of Division One in the Bridgwater Ladies’ Darts League after they beat closest rivals Squib A in a rearranged match to take a two-point lead.
They had already won 8-7 against Pawlett Pavilion on Monday night with the aid of a Nikki Rogers 180, while Squib had their bye.
Then on Wednesday they ran out 8-7 winners in what may turn out to be a title decider, Sharon Webb hitting a 104 out for the winning side.
The result means Squib now have to rely on others to retain their title.
The Kings Head beat Bird A 9-6 to go third on legs ahead of George Hotel, who lost 8-7 to the Lions Club, for whom Lyn Hart hit a 102 away.
The Fockers won the division’s other match, 11-4 against Black Horse.
