Lowdham & District Village Mens Dart League RESULTS March 20
This time last year The Gedling Club were already crowned champions winning the league by a massive six points and also taking home the Captain and Secretary title by four points.
Its a different story this year as both league and Captain and Secretary titles are still to be decided with two rounds to play.
Although the Gedling Club are almost certainly going to be crowned league champions again needing only two points from their last two games, a feat that they will expect to achieve in their penultimate game at home to The Old Ship on April 3 they face a tight finish in the Captain and Secretary Trophy with two points separating the top four.
Round 17 re-starts on April 3 following the knock out cup semi-finals on Match 27 and Calverton Working Men’s Club (CWMC) will be hoping that the Old Ship can get at least a point to bring the league down to the final round of the season. The Gedling Club have a tough final match of the season having to travel to Burton Joyce’s Cross Keys in a match that finished all square in Gedling.
CWMC are definitely finishing the league strongly and put a decent Burton Joyce team to the sword, winning 4 – 2 on week 14. Going into week 15, as CWMC hope that The Old Ship can perform an Easter miracle and beat the Gedling Club, the CWMC face a tough must win game in a Calverton derby match at home to the Gleaners ‘A’. A win that would more than likely see CWMC finish the league on 26 points as they will expect to collect all the points when they face bottom of the league Gleaners ‘B’ in their final match.
Calverton’s Neil Lincoln continues to lead the 180 table with four so far while The Rodney’s P Cullen continues to lead the highest finish table with 158.
The Knock Out Cup semi finals will take place on March 27 when Gleaners ‘A’ will play The Green Dragon at the Rodney and The Admiral Rodney will take on The Gedling Club at the CWMC with the league resuming on April 3.
Finals & Presentation night is at 7.00pm on Friday April 19 at The Calverton Working Men’s Club. Raffle prizes will be gratefully excepted.
