NEWMARKET and District Tuesday Men's Pub League held their finals night at the Newmarket Palomino where the standard of darts was very high throughout.
In the team knockout, Exning White Horse met Burrough Green Bull.
The first two games were played as pairs with Matt Hardy and Simon Bewley (White Horse) taking on Phil Docking and Ryan Tripp.
The Bull took the first leg but Hardy and Bewley took the next two to win the first game.
Dave Nunn and Jay Ball then played Darren Smith and Andy Ling and The Bull won 2-0; Ling scoring 140 and 100 in the first leg to even things up.
The White Horse took the next four singles to win 5-1: Vince Alecock 2, Ryan Tripp 1, with Tripp on a 13-dart second leg win.
The result meant Carl Campion, Ian Hardy and Matt Hardy (White Horse) did not have to play their games against Andy Ling, Darren Smith and Mark Pollington.

The Bull pair got off to a flying start with three consecutive 100s and Tripp hit double 20 to take the first leg.
