MATCH REPORTING

There is currently a student from Chester University who, as part of his course,
is reporting on matches played by Ship & Mitre "B". So when you play against
the Ship "B" you may come across the reporter and his associated photographer.
For those of you interested you can see the match reports produced so far at

FIXTURES FOR DERBY NIGHT on 19th DECEMBER

At last nights league meeting a discussion was held about rearranging the darts
fixtures due to be held on the night of the Derby match between Everton and
Liverpool on December 19th. Unfortunately it is not possible to rearrange the
whole fixture list for that night as there are no other available Mondays through
the season.

It was decided that teams should make every effort to play their fixtures on the
night, those that cannot would need to make their own arrangements to play the
fixture at a later date but Rule 17a would be suspended so that there will be no
point deducted for rearranging the game. 

Note - this is a one-off. Rearrangements will not be allowed for any further Monday
night football matches.

RESULTS of WEEK 5 MATCHES

After such a promising start Liver Vaults have gone from being the "Leicester City"
(surprise package) of the LODL to the "Liverpool" (what team will turn up this week)
of the LODL with a surprise defeat to Ship & Mitre "B". 

Claremont narrowly beat Newstead "A" in the clash of last years joint runners-up.
Peg Legs had an impressive victory over Melbourne with a number of good individual
games on the night (see Good Darts).

Elsewhere Gateway recovered from last weeks defeat to keep up their push for the top
with a win over Glasshouse while at the bottom the clash between two teams without
points resulted in a win for Ship & Mitre "A" over Newstead "B". Newcomers O.D.V.A.
seem to have overcome their initial poor start to record their third victory in a row
with a win over Village Inn and Oak Tree picked up a win over Arkles.

RESULTS of WEEK 4 MATCHES

Now there is ony team remaining undefeated and it is the Liver Vaults who beat Gateway
in the match of the night. Are Liver Vaults the "Leicester City" of the LODL, can they
go on to win the league ? There's a long way to go but who's to say they can't do it. 

In other games Peg Legs were triumphant over Oak Tree, Newstead "A" beat Glasshouse and
Claremont beat Masons. In the City Centre derby match Ship and Mitre "B" beat Ship & 
Mitre "A" leaving the Ship "A" on zero points so far this season. Last year's wooden 
spoon winners Newstead "B" are also still to win any points losing to newcomers O.D.V.A.
and in the remaining game of the night Arkles narrowly beat Village Inn.
