STAFF of Life didn't have any answers to a raging Top Bull team as the visitors swept to a 6-0 lead, with the loss of only one leg.

Staff's consolation was the last two games of dominoes, which saw them claim the points.

Papermakers are back with a vengeance, coming from 1-3 down to take the last three and the points off rivals, Masons. Even a 180 by Masons' G. Buckley in the last game was not enough to stop Papermakers' revival.

A different story at dominoes, though, where the visitors took the first four in comfort before Papermakers grabbed a consolation game.

Champions, Old Cross, stayed in the frame with a steady win at darts, but will be disappointed with the domino result. A win would have kept them clear at the top, but Beer Engine took the points in the first three games.

A 16-dart finish by A. Ince was enough to win his game and seal the points for Last Orders, but it took until the sixth game as visitors, Stopes, levelled twice. Orders also took the bones in style.

Swan & Railway completely out-classed Turf Hotel, the visitors claiming just one leg all night. Turf caused an upset in dominoes, though, coming back from 2-1 down to take the last two, a result which hauls them off the bottom.

The darts result at Old Tower could have been predicted with the leaders marching on, but the domino result didn't cause any surprise. It is a long time since Old Tower were beaten 5-0, but perhaps the second game told the story when S. Dockery and A.L. Grundy took it 91-38.
