Still Game travelled to Muir of Ord to take on the Tarradale and returned with the points in a close 7-5 win. Maximums came from Dave McGruer and Gary Gunn from Tarradale and Andy Leckie and Ally McGinely from Still Game. McGinely also had a 15 dart leg and David Fraser notched a 177 for Tarradale.
East End Arrows continued to challenge at the top of the league and their 8-4 win over Battlefield Bullies keeps them in a three way tie at the top of the division. Alan Fraser and Colin Fraser hit 180’s for the Arrows with Steve McIntyre and John Duncanson hit maximums for the Bullies. McIntyre also hit a 15 dart leg.
