A brilliant night to round off a fantastic season, well supported and all credit for the friendly rivalry.

A quick summary of the finals night games:

Having had a steady season, new kids on the block the Cross Keys Eppleby won the B Division team KO, a close run affair.

The A Division team KO was a closer contest, going down to the wire with Croft Club B coming out on top.

Rob Raine & Steve Addison overcame a nervous second leg to win the Pairs KO 2 - 1, youth finally toppling experience !

Lastly regarding the games, Chris Allum added to his aggregate domination by winning the Individuals KO 2 - 0, rounding off a brilliant personal season.

The raffle raised helpful league funds, thanks to all who donated a prize and everyone who bought tickets.

Finally thanks once again to Tom, Tom, Paul, Paul, Nigel, Alan, Aubrey, the league committee, the KO locations, Croft Club, and all who played in, supported and followed the Forcett & District Darts League for another fantastic season ... pat on the back ... it's you who make the difference.

Before you view the new website page ...

... can you name at least 60 plus Teams who play or have played in the League since it's beginning !

I say at least 60 because there are some seasons in which I have no historic data. If you have any additional info, please send it to me.

Try making a list before checking it against the info !

In the Ian Beattie memorial trophy KO, James Maughan beat off stiff competition to beat Paul Bowers in the final after a cautious start to the competition. Thanks to all who entered and also to those who supported a good night of darts.

Locomotion No1 put up a brave challenge but the A division champs Croft Club B were too strong, 5 - 0 winners in the Champion of Champions.

It was a much closer affair in the Interleague, nearly going to the wire, but yet again the A division proved stronger winning 6 - 4.
