Alan Collins (26.50) and the on fire Simon Cook (34.93) made it all square with a win in 33 darts against Paul Barham (22.50) and the big hitting Graham Mills (37.20). Mills hit a 180 and Collins had to take 88 out for the leg.
Peter Barton (21.31) was pushed all the way by Richard Watering (22.66). Watering had a 110 finish but Barton came out a 3 - 2 winner.

Basildon 6 Harwich 6 (03/12/09) |
|
Harwich struggled with Simon Cook unavailable and were a shadow of the team from the previous week and it was even more disappointing when the news came that joint second place Southend drew as well.
Adrian Genery (25.33) and Kevin Edwards (30.28) hit 7 scores of 100 or more in succession then missed 9 darts at a double before seeing off Dave Orton (27.94) and James Jennings (23.87) in 36 darts.
Peter Barton (16.19) and George Lord (21.69) made it 2 - 0 eventually as Lord scored heavily but both players found a double hard to come by when beating Carl Smith (16.62) and Keith Ridgway (17.15).
The game was then thrown into confusion when the next pair from Basildon were unavailable as 1 player was playing a match at the other end of the bar so Scott Lawrie (26.09) and Ben Attridge (20.05) had to play next. They found county B man Phil Halls (31.18) in top form and with partner Les Atkins (15.00) Basildon made it 2 - 1.
Alan Collins (26.48) and Mick Chambers (20.76) then lost out to the late arriving Leon Smerdon (25.67) and M.Sherdon (22.21).
Peter Barton (27.50) had a great game with Phil Halls (28.78) and had to settle for second best losing 3 - 1 after going 1 leg up.
Scott Lawrie (28.46) turned his usual immaculate game to see off another county B player, James Jennings (26.24). Lawrie winning 3 - 1.
A solid performance from Adrian Genery (26.37) saw the Harwich man have a 114 finish in his 3 - 0 win over Keith Ridgeway (24.24).
Ben Attridge (20.20) had a rare chance to impress and did all the hard work in going 2 - 0 up only to then let it all slip and finally lose to Carl Smith (22.26) 3 - 2.
George Lord (21.29) had a repeat of the previous week when he went 2 - 0 down playing awful and then produced steady darts for a 3 - 2 win over Les Atkins (19.63).
Alan Collins (24.62) couldn't hit a double and paid the price as Tommy Butler (21.59) took his chances to record his first win of the season with a 3 - 1 victory.
More trouble followed as Kevin Edwards (24.35) lost 3 - 0 to county A man Dave Orton (27.33).
It was left to Mick Chambers (22.77) to salvage a much needed point as he overcame the challenge of Dave O'Meara (20.21) with a comfortable 3 - 0 win. |

Harwich 9 Riverside 3 (26/11/09) |
|
WOW where do we start in Harwich's best ever team performance in their 7 year history. A 27.72 team average, 92 tons and a magnificent match in which Riverside also played their part.
Adrian Genery (28.88) and Kevin Edwards (32.07) set the standard for the night with a great win in 33 darts over Martin Compton (25.33) and Paul Doherty (24.07) in the opening pairs.
Mick Chambers (21.87) and George Lord (28.20) were blitzed by Ben Adams (33.53) and Paul Harrison (32.80) in 30 darts with Adams opening with a 180.
Scot Lawrie (41.31) and Peter Barton (38.67) raised the bar to the roof with an incredible 25 dart leg (combined average 40.04) against Dave Solly (24.33) and Phil Cox (28.92). The scores were 81,125,140,140,140,100,140,99 and game shot in 1 dart on 36.

Peter Barton (25.97) came from 1 down to win 3 - 1 against the highly experienced Dave Solly (26.22). Barton had a 100 finish and Solly hit a 180.
Adrian Genery (28.60) had to pull out all the stops to beat former county A man Andy Rice (26.40) 3 - 2 in a great game. Genery hit a 180 in a leg that he lost.
Scot Lawrie (30.70) had lost the previous 2 games playing well and it must have been in the back of his mind this could be 3 as Paul Doherty (26.90) put him under pressure. At 2 - 2 Lawrie responded with a superb 11 dart leg to get back to winning ways. Lawrie hit a 101 finish and a 180.
Kevin Edwards (25.71) lost out 3 - 2 to Robbie Caton (25.93) who always plays well on the Harwich pitch. Caton hit a 180 and came from 2 - 1 down.
Skipper George Lord (22.43) put himself in the singles for the first time in over a year and played awful to go 2 down to county B man Ben Adams (23.26). Lord then dug in deep and as Adams missed doubles Lord put his away to turn the game on its head for a 3 - 2 win.
Simon Cook (30.67) got a ticking off from skipper Lord and responded with a magnificent 3 - 0 over Paul Harrison (23.96) to complete a memorable night. |

Harwich 8 Burntwood 4 (05/11/09) |
|
Harwich won again with some very impressive performances, the highlight of the match being the draw everybody hoped for, Scott Lawrie (31.22) versus Steve Johnson (32.86) and a game of the highest quality.
Scott Lawrie (23.90) and Peter Barton (24.95) just edged out John Wastenage (24.71) and Grant Hammond (22.19) in the opening pairs.
Kevin Cook (25.68) and Stuart Elmer (20.76) made it 2 - 0 with a win over Darren Blackwood (21.62) and Mark Banham (24.14).

Kevin Edwards (29.47) was back to his best and finished superbly on 100, 68 and 78 to beat Mark Banham (22.64) 3 - 0.
Alan Collins (24.69) rarely makes life easy for himself at home games and this was no exception, grinding out a 3 - 2 win over the resilient John Wastenage (24.69).
Possibly the best game of the season took place when the unbeaten pair of Scott Lawrie and Steve Johnson went toe to toe and they did not disappoint. Both players hit a 180 in the opening leg that Johnson took in 14 darts. Lawrie hit back with a 13 dart leg and another 180 but Johnson was not to be denied as he hit his second 180 and two 15 dart legs.

Stuart Elmer (19.36) tried hard but had to give second best to Grant Hammond (21.29) losing 3 - 1.

Harwich 7 Cressing 5 (29/10/09) |
|
With high riding Cressing and Harwich hoping to climb up towards the top of the table playing one another this was expected to be a quality match, but what a drab affair it turned out to be!
First blood went to Harwich when Kevin Edwards (19.22) and Kevin Cook (26.62) beat Tim Franklin (22.71) and Al Hedman (20.95).
Alan Collins (23.25) and Peter Barton (18.29) couldn't find a double again and lost to Mick Cain (20.21) and Stuart Mortimer (22.43).

Hockley 7 Harwich 5 (22/10/09) |
|
Harwich will think that life is not fair after this and the previous result when they came away with nothing to show for their hard efforts. They could ill afford missed chances against the best side in the county but must take heart from a fantastic game that yeilded 168 tons that included 7 ton plus finishes.
Harwich made the perfect start when Scott Lawrie (30.10) and Mick Chambers (22.17) beat the previously unbeaten Jimmy Allison (29.72) and Michael Wiles (27.22) in the first pairs.
Adrian Genery (19.93) and Simon Cook (24.47) were thrashed by Darrell Claydon (30.18) and Mick Baglow (32.93) in only 32 darts.
Alan Collins (21.08) and Peter Barton (23.38) will wonder how they lost to Mark Landers (26.22) and Shaun Walsh (21.81) missing 8 darts at a double.
Kevin Edwards (24.50) and Stuart Elmer (25.89) lost out to John McFall (26.95) and Gary Phipps (25.67) in the last pairs and Harwich had a mountain to climb.
Stuart Elmer (23.63), making his singles debut, played steadily but opponent Mark Landers (27.33) is a class act and won 3 - 0.
Adrian Genery (27.54) was on one of his famous missions racing back from Basingstoke to reach the venue just in time and he made it all worth-while when he beat Shaun Walsh (27.80) 3 - 2 in a magnificent match that ebbed and flowed. Walsh had a 105 finish and Genery had a 2 dart 100 finish and there were 22 scores of 100 or more in the game.
Kevin Edwards (23.54) suffered missed doubles in the 1st and 2nd legs of his game with Jimmy Allison (26.56) and paid the price losing 3 - 1 in a game he could have won 3 - 0. Allison had a 101 finish in the 1st leg.
Alan Collins (29.38) was another to come straight to the venue from work and played his best game to date with a superb 3 - 1 win over John McFall (27.85). McFall hit a 180 and Collins had a brilliant 135 finish.
Scott Lawrie (29.31) continued his impressive start to the season with a fine 3 - 1 win over Mick Baglow (23.92). Baglow had a 124 finish and Lawrie hit a 180 and a 116 finish.
Simon Cook (25.10) and Gary Phipps (26.83) draw one another every year and this time it was the turn of the Hockley man to win, 3 - 2. Phipps hit 2 x 180's and came back from 2 - 1 down.
Peter Barton (24.29), nursing a hand injury that barely allowed him to hold a dart, battled superbly to see off Darrell Claydon (26.26) 3 - 2 . Claydon hit a 180 and there were 22 scores of 100 or more in the game.
Mick Chambers (21.83) should have gone 1 up against Michael Wiles (22.52) but bust, made it 1 - 1, went 2 - 1 down, made it 2 - 2 and the tension grew. Wiles raced into a lead only for Chambers to come back, then both players struggled to find the winning double, Wiles eventually doing so with his 29th dart. |

Harwich 6 Colchester 6 (15/10/09) |
|
Harwich had to settle for a point with old adversaries Colchester after leading for most of the singles and had to rely on a super show from Scott Lawrie for the draw.
Colchester drew first blood when Kevin Edwards (28.24) and Jason Warren (14.89) lost to Jamie Robinson (29.52) and Paul Walker (20.58). Robinson hitting a 180 with the first throw.
Scott Lawrie (33.11) and Mick Chambers (22.50) hit back with a win over Paul Copeland (27.67) and Dave Bokenham (18.80) in 36 darts with Lawrie hitting a 180.
Alan Collins (25.87) and Peter Barton (21.20) found Coen Wiekamp (36.75) and Eddie Gosling (27.53) in irrepressible form and the Colchester duo ran out winners in 31 darts.
Adrian Genery (34.00) and Simon Cook (22.88) made it all level as they brushed aside Chris Bowring (24.61) and Dave Gwilliams (27.87) in 35 darts.
Adrian Genery (28.24) was quickly back in action as was Dave Gwilliams (24.39) and it was the Harwich man who had to come from 2 - 1 down to win 3 - 2 in fine style. Gwilliams hit a 180 but this should give Genery a lift after struggling recently.
Kevin Edwards (26.84) beat Eddie Gosling (26.61) 3 - 0 in a close encounter that the score-line did not reflect.
Alan Collins (27.27) is yet to win at home and this performance would have won 8 out of 10 games however Dave Bokenham (28.90) hit trebles for fun and romped to a superb 3 - 0 win.
Peter Barton (26.37) was another in fine form and raced to a 3 - 0 win over Chris Bowring (25.89) with some clinical finishing.
At 5 - 3 up it was looking good for Harwich but the next 3 games ebbed and flowed and all eventually fell the way of Colchester.
Firstly Simon Cook (25.05) went 2 - 1 up only to lose to Coen Wiekamp (25.05) 3 - 2. Jason Warren (22.87) went 2 - 0 down to Jamie Robinson (22.01), hit a 180 and made it 2 - 2 before losing 3 - 2. Kevin Cook (22.58) also hit a 180 but lost 3 - 2 to Paul Walker (22.80) and was so unlucky not to finish on 160 having been dead and buried.
Harwich had to rely on Scot Lawrie (33.40) for a draw, the least they deserved, and Lawrie was in magnificent form beating Paul Copeland (23.80) 3 - 0 in 13, 15 and 17 darts. |
|
Chelmsford 3 Harwich 9 (02/10/09) |
|
Harwich at last turned up with a better performance especially in the pairs to open up a critical 4 - 0 lead over basement side Chemsford.
Scot Lawrie (28.11) and new partner Mick Chambers (33.00) opened the match with a great 33 dart leg win over Daniel Bowers (20.67) and Sam Lepley (22.07). Lawrie had a 101 finish and Chambers hit 4 scores of 100 or more.
Alan Collins (28.94) and Peter Barton (35.87) raised the standard even higher with a superb win over Jason Walsh (20.89) and Steve Smith (15.13) in only 31 darts. Barton hitting 4 scores of 100 or more.
Adrian Genery (19.19) and Simon Cook (31.47) also ran out easy winners over Alan Church (19.52) and Vernon Walsh (18.00) with Cook hitting 4 scores of 100 or more.
Kevin Edwards (17.35) and new partner Jason Warren (28.67) made it 4 - 0 with a win over Simon Whalley (23.04) and Dean Willsher (17.43).
Adrian Genery (27.83) was back to his best as clinched his 3 - 0 win over Vernon Walsh (20.03) with a 13 dart leg.
Scot Lawrie (25.91) finished his match with a 119 checkout to beat Dean Willsher (21.89) 3 - 0.
Alan Collins (29.81) had a superb game with Simon Whalley (25.85). Whalley was unlucky in a couple of legs but Collins was critical with his finishing and had a 12 dart leg that included a 180 and a 116 finish. Whalley also hit a 180.
Jason Warren (24.49) has waited 3 years for a singles win for Harwich but has not had many chances to do so. This time he came out of the traps like Usain Bolt hitting 2 x 180's and 14 and 18 dart legs. He then slowed before completing a well deserved win over Alan Church (22.99).
Mick Chambers (23.22) also had a rare opportunity but found Steve Haggerty (24.64) in good form. The Chelmsford man hitting a 180 in his 3 - 0 win.
Simon Cook (26.31) must have wondered how he lost to Mark Chapman (21.69) 3- 2. Chapman hit crucial scores including a 180 and doubles at the right time.
Peter Barton (22.30) had to pull out all the stops to beat the talented Sam Lepley (21.45) 3 - 2.
For a change Kevin Edwards (26.55) was last (4 weeks in a row) and yet again he had a fight on his hands with young Daniel Bowers (25.84). Bowers took the first leg in 15 darts with a 128 finish, Edwards took the next in 15 darts with a 180 and an 80 checkout, back came Bowers with a 74 finish only for Edwards to make it 2 - 2 with a 76 finish. Unfortunately Edwards missed the double in the final leg and Bowers gratefully accepted his chance. |

Harwich 8 Thurrock 4 (25/09/09) |
|
Harwich struggled yet again with a Thurrock side that might well have left Little Oakley Memorial Club with a point with a bit better finishing.
Skipper took the opportunity to look at a couple of players and in the first pairs Stuart Elmer (27.11) did not disappoint, he and stalwart Kevin Edwards (24.43) beat Mick McCombe (29.28) and Keith Petrie (19.66) in 39 darts as the Thurrock pair were unlucky with hitting a double.
Alan Collins (25.95) and Peter Barton (21.84) just pipped Liam Pender (27.28) and the 180 throwing Steve Girling (23.50).
Scott Lawrie (23.71) and Ben Attridge (18.00) were very lucky to dig out a win as Simon Barry (16.92) and Steve Cox (24.46) missed their double.
Simon Cook (15.73) and Kevin Cook (24.67) just saw off Pete Tompkins (19.33) and George Webb (20.05) to make it a clean sweep in the pairs.
Scott Lawrie (25.91) was solid as he won 3 - 0 against Roy Crabb (19.84).
Marcus Smith (20.35) has been a shadow of himself this term and lost 3 - 0 to a steady performance from Simon Barry (24.64) who had a 102 finish.
Simon Cook (26.84) has been very impressive of late and swept aside Steve Cox (19.75) 3 - 0.
Adrian Genery (22.20) was 2 - 1 up when Micky Squelch (21.05) hit him with 2 bulls-eye finishes, the fourth leg 94 on the bull and the final leg with a great 164 finish.
Alan Collins (24.67) appeared to be in control of his game but missed doubles and young Liam Pender (24.35) gratefully accepted his chances to win 3 - 1, hitting a 177 on the way.
Kevin Cook (22.36) also failed to spark and was beaten by Mick McCombe (24.02). The Thurrock man hit a 180 in a 3 - 1 win.
Peter Barton (22.10) at last clinched the win with a 3 - 0 win over Jimmy Myers (20.80). Barton scored poorly gut took out finishes of 84, 90 and 80.
The last game was the best of the night as Kevin Edwards (27.78) beat Pete Tompkins (24.79) 3 - 1. Tompkins hit 2 x 180's but Edwards replied with a 180, a 177 and a 114 finish. |
