SECTION five leaders The Burma continue to go great guns after protecting their unbeaten record in the Runcorn Apec Taxis Darts League last Thursday with an 8/1 win against Trannie Mix.

Dev Superstars remain second after they too had an 8/1 win at the expense of Halfway Mixed.

Leading the way for the winners was Jack Peterson who hit a maximum, whilst the losers are still searching for their first point.

Section three leaders Halfway Gents gained the biggest win of the night when they whitewashed Dock Lads 9/0, with the best coming from Stewart McKay who finished in 17 darts. Lion stay second after beating strugglers Fiddlers III 7/2.

RNA remain unbeaten at the top of section four after a comprehensive 8/1 win against Draymen, with second-placed Royal Oak remaining two points adrift after beating Weston Point SC 6/3.

The quickest game came from Cherry Tree B's Rob Ward who finished in 15 darts but his team are still without a win after losing 5/4 to Pavilions B.

Tricorn and Albion both remain unbeaten in section one, with the former, leaders on average, running out 7/2 winners against Taverners. Brian McNamara hit a maximum and the doubles pairing of Peter Revill and Peter Langton finished in 18 darts.

Albion ran out 6/3 winners against rivals Outcasts with the losers Trevor Sefton hitting a maximum.

The unbeaten Likely Lads continue to lead the way in section two with a 7/2 win against local rivals, Prospect Has Beens. Tranny Lads are now second after they inflicted the first defeat of the season on Halton Marauders, 7/2.

The doubles competition started last Friday with the quickest game from Geoff Schumaker and Kevin Littlemore (Union Tavern) who finished in 19 darts.

Sadly the league has lost another great servant to the league with the death of Dave Bethell.

Dave was both captain and secretary of Red Admiral for about 15 years having previously been associated with teams from the South Bank. The league would like to pass on its deepest sympathy to Dave's family.
