Newly-promoted Fox Inn, Barton, continued their great start to Section 7 of the Greene King ODDA Winter Darts League with a 7-2 mauling of Somerset House B.

Fox started well when Brown won the opening game, only to see Smith's fine win over Spencer level the match.

The Fox hit back strongly, with Morton, Lawrence and Bonnar firing them into a 4-1 lead.

Baldwin beat Wiltshire to bring the game back to 4-2, but the Fox then scored a 3-0 pairs win to make it 7-2 and three victories on the trot.

Team Monarch had good cause to celebrate, after a 6-3 win at Butchers Arms in Section 9.

They took the lead after Timbrell beat Hands, but the home side levelled after Banton sealed a fine win over Tony Brown.

Team Monarch then raced into a 3-1 lead through David Soanes and Richard Clark, and although West beat Tim Smith to bring it back to 3-2, Andy England then beat Moore to restore the two-game lead.

A 2-1 pairs victory gave Team Monarch a 6-3 success - their first ever win.
