League update 27th July 2010

Burwash Dart League - Season Review

Well after months of threatening to update this site I've finally got round to doing so.

The 2010 season was a great success under the new management with everything running smoothly. There were couple of minor issues to resolve but other than that everything was fine.

The league was finally won by The White Hart Nomads who performed superbly throughout the season only losing 1 match.

Latest News - 16th November 2009

First of all Important Information.

The Bull 1 are now playing home fixtures at Ticehurst Village Club and playing under the name of Ticehurst Club with immediate effect.

Now for the season so far.

The White Hart Nomads currently top the league with 58 points and lead by 13 points from The Royal Oak who have 45.

The RedLion 1 are in third place with 44 points with The Queens Inn two points further back on 42.

Both the Red Lion and the Queens have played 1 less game than The White Hart and The Royal Oak as they have had their Bye.

7 players have so far recorded 180's, Nigel Relf having recorded two.

Simon Drury and Jim Carroll have both scored 120 out shots.

Generally things are going well however, sadly, I have heard on the Darts grapevine that a number of teams are complaining about the new league format of 6 singles and 3 pairs.

May I just remind everybody that all teams were contacted BEFORE the league started to get their views on the change of format and the vast majority of team captains agreed to the change. If memory serves me right 8 teams were in favour, 2 were against and 2 were not bothered either way. If the rumours are correct and there is some unrest then please contact either Sharon or Myself to discuss your concerns.


That's all for now but I'll end with reminder about the League Website. It is updated every week with Match Results, 180's and High Out shots so pop in and take a look. There is an up to date League Table there too. The website can be found at: http://burwashdarts.leaguerepublic.com

Week 1 match reports

The first game week started well for the White Hart Nomads who recorded a superb 9-0 win against their rivals the White Hart Bishops. Team captain Gavin Studholme continued his excellent form from the summer league with a fine display, winning both legs in his singles in 17 darts, one with a 97 finish.

Another team expected to do well this season is the Queens Inn, Hawkhurst. They also started the season well with a home win of 8-1 against the Bull 2.

One of the other favourite sides, the Red Lion 1 had a tight game against the White Hart Bandits. The match could have gone either way however the Red Lion ran out 6-3 winners.
