THE crucial match at Top Bull gave satisfaction to both sides.

Top Bull got the darts points so they now go clear at the top.

Old Cross took the dominoes to keep space between them and Wilton in the domino league.

The latter had a good night when they entertained Staff of Life. They lost the first two at darts then took the next five, and the bones by the fourth.

Last Orders had to wait until the third leg of the last game before squeezing the points away from a chirpy Beer Engine, who had come back to level three times. It was a last game settler for dominoes as well.

Masons showed the form they have been missing as they trounced Stopes Tavern, the visitors claiming only two legs all night. Stopes took the dominoes though and are handily poised if the top teams slip up.

It must have seemed a long way back from Ainsworth for a dejected Wellington as Duke William took all the points, claiming the darts by the sixth, and after going 0-1 down at bones, took the next four.

A bad result this for Wellington, especially as Victoria finally found winning ways again at dominoes, taking the first four before Tavern got some consolation.

A different story at darts though with Bridge taking the first three, dropping two then mopping up the rest.

Turf had a good night at the expense of St Mary's, claiming the darts by the fourth and coming from 2-1 down at bones to take the last two.
