May 4th - ANNIE DOES THE DOUBLE
Congratulations to Annie Lewis from Sweeney's who won both the Ladies Charlie Frost and
Ladies Secretaries Competitions last night. In the Charlie Frost competition she narrowly
defeated Michelle Jones from The Vinebrook 2 - 1 in the semi-final before beating Helen
Moran from Fogherty's 2 - 0 in the final. Helen had earlier beaten Margie Scholfield from
The Wellington 2 - 0 in the other semi-final.
In the Secretaries competition Annie received a bye in the first semi-final as Lena Arthur
from The Newstead was unable to attend due to illness. In a closely contested semi-final
Karen Baker from The Deysbrook beat Dot Davenport from The Wellington which could have gone
either way. Karen beat Dot 2 - 1 yet in the leg she lost she scored 121 followed by 135.
In the final Annie beat Karen 2 - 0 to record a double success on the night and also maintain
the record of Sweeney's winning every Ladies Secretaries competition since it started.

Connerty's and Vinebrook Ladies.
In the Premier Section St Agnes are now confirmed as runners-up after Claremont's
defeat by Newstead "A".
In the Gents "A" Section its very tight after Newstead "B" suffered a 9 - 0 whitewash
in their final game of the season at the hands of champions Connerty's. Liver Vaults
now need to win their last game to force a play-off with Newstead "B" for second place.
In the Ladies Section Fogherty's need one more win from their remaining two games to
take second spot. If they fail in both matches Sweeney's still have a chance of forcing

March 24th
Apologies for not updating the site for a couple of weeks.
In the Premier section Bradley's are almost home in first place but mathematically
can still be caught however this would need them to lose all three of their remaining
games. In the battle for second place St Agnes came out on top in the match against
Claremont which now puts them four points ahead with two games left to play.
In "A" Section congratulations to Connerty's who are now champions after their win
against Ship & Mitre "A". Third placed Liver Vaults beat Newstead "B" and are now two
points behind the Newstead with one game left to play.
In the Ladies section congratulations also go to Vinebrook who have finally clinched
the title with three games to spare. Fogherty's are still in prime position to claim
second place while four teams are battling for third.
There are a number of outstanding results in the following competitions:-
Gent's Secretaries
Gents 5-a-side
Ladies Pairs
Ladies 5-a-side
Mixed Pairs
See the relevant competition tab and if you know any of the results can you text them
to me as soon as possible on the number at the top of this page.

March 14th
Vinebrook stretch their lead at the top of the Ladies section by beating second
placed Fogherty's 7 - 0. Wellington return to winning ways with a 7 - 0 thumping
of Newstead who appear to be in free fall.
Return to top
March 3rd
All turn round in Ladies Section as Newstead and Wellington each suffer another
defeat which means that Sweeney's leap frog into third place. Fogherty's maintain
their gap between themselves and third place and are looking favourites to take
runners up spot. Meanwhile Vinebrook march relentlessly on to yet another title.
On a much sadder note I have news that most people are probably already aware of,
and that is that Alan Jennion, a long standing member of our darts league plus many
other leagues around the city, sadly passed away recently after a long illness. For
those who are interested and would like to pay their last respects a service will
be held at 2.00pm on Monday 7th March at Good Shepherd Church on Lowerhouse Lane,
Croxteth. Alan will be laid to rest at Anfield Cemetery at 3.00pm.

I have to own up to a cock up with the President's Cup. The prelim round should have
been in blocks, unfortunately I didn't do that. This means I have to fit another date
before the finals. Therefore the next round is scheduled to be played on 25th April.
The draw was made on Monday 21st February by two players from the Claremont and is :-
Riley's v Ship and Mitre "A"
Bradley's v St Agnes
McGinty's v St Teresa's
Newstead "B" v Barely Mow
I apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.
Most of the results from this weeks Gents and Ladies Pairs are now on the website.

Connerty's need to win one of their remaining two games to be crowned "A" section
champions. Newstead "B" also need one win from their two remaining games to finish
as runners-up, however their two games are against first placed Connerty's and
third placed Liver Vaults, are they strong enough to do it ?

February 14th
All 3-a-side results are now in. The committee are extremely disappointed that some
teams are not bothering to turn up. People like this destroy any attempt to get
interest going in darts. The whole idea behind the 3-a-side was to get people out
playing at times when they may no longer be in competitions and to get players from
different teams together at the same venue. By not turning up they ruin it for the
rest of the teams who have made the effort. If the competition is to be run next year
we will seriously have to look at fining teams who don't turn up for a block fixture.
Correction to score in the Ladies Section - Wellington beat St Cyril's in the league
match getting revenge for their defeat by the same team the previous week in the Ladies
Knock-Out cup.
To all you romantics have a Happy Velentine's night - what better way to treat your
loved one than to take her out and let her enjoy the entertainment of your Monday
night darts match and post match meal (butties !!).

February 2nd - CLAREMONT and CONNERTY'S CRASH OUT OF CUP
In the President's cup Claremont were knocked out by St Teresa's. Bradley's, McGinty's
and St Agnes complete the four through from the Premier Section. From "A" section
Connerty's suffer a surprise defeat to Barley Mow, Newstead "B" beat the Liver Vaults
to go through and Riley's and Ship & Mitre "A" make up the four from the section.
In the Ladies Knock Out cup Sweeney's knocked out Newstead. Vinebrook and Fogherty's
safely get through to next round. Still waiting on last result between Wellington and
St Cyril's.
Return to top
January 26th
In the Premier Bradley's continue to set the pace at the top and are within one game
of retaining their title. Claremont lose to McGinty's to fall two points behind
St Agnes making their up and coming head to head even more crucial. At the bottom
Clubmoor defeat of Christ The King puts them in with a chance of climbing off the
bottom.
In "A" Section Connerty's are close to finishing winners and it looks like a win in
their final match of the season versus Newstead "B" will clinch the top spot.
In the Ladies section Foghery's maintain their challenge with a win over St Cyril's.
Newstead beat Sweeney's to keep them on the tail of Fogherty's while lower down
Eldonians remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

close for second place but there are a number of missing results which makes it
difficult to assess the exact positions, can secretaries please ensure that they send
