Harwich 6 Burntwood 6 (15/11/08) |
|
Harwich had been so consistant recently it was disappointing that they slipped back into their old habit of thinking they just had to turn up against a lowly team to win. Basement team Burntwood came to play and thoroughly deserved their point with a battling display.
Jamie Robinson (27.06) and Mick Chambers (31.33) played superbly and were just pipped by the imperial Steve Johnson (34.56) and Phil Daldry (22.29). Johnson hit a 180.
Scott Lawrie (38.89) turned in an awesome display of hitting the treble 20 and with new partner Ben Attridge (17.71) beat John Wastenage (27.39) and Mark Banham (26.13). Lawrie hit 3 x 140's and a 180.
Simon Cook (24.10) and Adrian Genery (21.67) were sadly out of sorts and lost to Paul Sedge (22.96) and Peter Weller (21.34).
Kevin Edwards (29.24) and Peter Barton (21.50) made it 2 - 2 as Edwards finished on the bulls-eye to beat Darren Blackwood (23.65) and Andy Westcott (26.78).
Scott Lawrie (25.91) added another 180 to his collection as he beat Phil Daldry (25.72) 3 - 0.
Peter Barton (21.78) was far from his best but still beat Paul Sedge (19.29) 3 - 0.
Kevin Edwards (26.24) had to pull out all the stops to beat an inform Mark Banham (26.56) 3 - 1. Edwards hit a 174 and Banham was very unlucky with 2 ton plus finishes.
Former P.D.C players Jamie Robinson (25.86) and Steve Johnson (29.18) faced each other and it was the latter who came out on top 3 - 1. Johnson had finishes of 120 and 144 and just missed a 145 finish.
Simon Cook (24.35) lost his way after going 2 - 1 up and opponent Paul Harrison (24.66) took full advantage to win 3 - 2.
Kevin Cook (22.44) scored inconsistantly and John Wastenage (24.66) came in a 3 - 1 winner.
Adrian Genery (26.76) hit a 180 as tried in vain to set up a team win when he overcame Grant Hammond (22.85) 3 - 1.
Mick Chambers (19.40) could not carry over his doubles form and Darren Blackwood (22.66) got stronger as the game wore on. Blackwood winning 3 - 1 to make it 6 - 6. |

|
Harwich stormed to their first ever 12 - 0 win in the superleague and although once again they were not at their best in the pairs they steam-rolled the singles for a comprehensive win over Chelmsford, the dark horses of the league and normally Harwich's bogey team, and go second in the league table.
Scott Lawrie (17.29) again had to rely on partner Marcus Smith (27.90) to carry them to victory over Matt Garrett (2357) and Harry Smith (15.81). Marcus Smith hitting a 180 and helping Lawrie out, something Lawrie has had to do in the past, hence a fine partnership.
Simon Cook (32.89) and Adrian Genery (20.89) hammered Vince Walsh (23.62) and Wayne Tyrell (13.00) with Cook yet again in sensational form.
Jamie Robinson (18.00) also had a partner to carry him, Mick Chambers (28.81), as they beat Andy Kateley (24.52) and Alan Church (21.24).
Kevin Edwards (23.38) and Peter Barton (24.29) completed the white-wash with a win over Peter Cable (18.52) and Mel Sylvester (26.76).

Kevin Cook (23.48) has become consistantly steady this year and he beat young Daniel Bowers (19.73) 3 - 0.

Kevin Edwards (27.00) was playing in a lot of pain having slipped a disc but still managed to play a great game of darts with a 3 - 1 win over Alan Church (26.75). Edwards also hit a 180.
Simon Cook (25.88) benefitted from Andy Kateley's failure to hit a double in the last leg to register a 3 - 2 win. Kateley (25.19) hit a 180 and Cook had 101 finish.
Peter Barton (22.80) was excellent apart from one poor leg and beat old adversary Harry Smith (22.22) 3 - 1. Barton had a maximum 180.
Adrian Genery (25.68) proved he was the man for the big occasion with a 3 - 1 win to complete the white-wash. Matt Garrett (27.05) threw everthing at Genery who stood strong and had a 111 finish. |

Kevin Edwards (28.29) and new partner Kevin Cook (19.00) lost the opening pairs to Steve Maish (23.70) and Graham Mills (22.62).
Scott Lawrie (18.62) had to thank partner Marcus Smith (33.89) who was in blistering form averaging over a 100 a throw and scoring a 180 fot their win over Mel Davies (22.94) and Stephen Kiamil (25.22).
Jamie Robinson (24.77) was back with old partner Mick Chambers (28.61), playing his first game after an injury, found Terry Rose (21.75) and Mick Peel (31.44) too much to handle.

Kevin Edwards (17.77) mind was elsewhere as his father had been taken to hospital earlier in the day and lost 3 - 1 to Mel Davies (20.06) in a game where both averages suffered due to 1 very poor leg in which neither player could hit a double.
Adrian Genery (25.63) beat P.D.C. man Steve Maish (29.43) 3 - 2. Both players hit the treble 20 regularly with Genery hitting 2 x 180's to add to his earlier 1 in the pairs.

Marcus Smith (25.25) carried on where he had left off in the pairs and beat the 180 scoring Terry Rose (24.81) 3 - 1.

Riverside 6 Harwich 6 (10/10/08) |
|
Harwich will think this was a point dropped as Riverside were without a couple of players however the home team were up for a fight and deservedly took a share of the spoils.
Jamie Robinson (20.79) and Kevin Cook (19.25) lost a poor opening game to Phil Cox (23.00) and Ben Adams (20.41).
Simon Cook (36.07) and Adrian Genery (35.38) were superb and beat Barry Adlam (29.73) and Robbie Caton (26.00) in only 28 darts (35.75 average combined ). Simon Cook scored a 180 and had his 4th consecutive average over 30 in the pairs.

Scott Lawrie (26.92) lost 3 - 2 to fellow county A team-mate Barry Adlam (26.11) in a strange game which ebbed and flowed until the deciding leg where both players struggled for the win. Adlam also scored a 180.
Kevin Cook (26.29) recovered from a knee injury during the first leg of his game with Martin Compton (22.41) to put in another impressive performance with a 3 - 1 win. Compton hit a 180.
Marcus Smith (22.21) after a fine last season has returned to his bad habit of losing 3 - 2, this time to county A man Alan Collins (24.54) who hit a 180.

Harwich 5 Hockley 7 (20/09/08) |
|
Harwich could not believe that they didn't even get a point from this pulsating game with champions Hockley. Having a team average of 26.94 to 26.89, 86 tons and 7 x 180's to 72 tons and 1 x 180, Harwich realised 2 darts at a double in different legs in the pairs cost them dear, however Hockley proved why they are the champions by taking their chances. This game was a feast to watch and appeared to have taken superleague darts to another level.
First pairs saw an out of touch Jamie Robinson (21.56) and Kevin Cook (25.73) brushed aside by county A duo Johnny McFall (24.37) and Gary Phipps (35.19) in only 34 darts.
Second pairs saw Scott Lawrie (26.00) and Marcus Smith (28.72) miss a double to let in Mark Landers (28.23) and Mick Baglow (27.28) for the win in 36 darts.
Simon Cook (33.22) and Adrian Genery (25.60) did like-wise as Jimmy Allison (28.44) and Michael Wiles (29.06) took their game in another impressive 35 darts.
Kevin Edwards (29.94) and Peter Barton (28.88) finally got Harwich on the scoreboard with a win over Sean Walsh (24.83) and Darryll Claydon (29.33) in another superb 34 darts.
Kevin Edwards (27.18) was straight back on for the first singles and beat former county man Michael Wiles (23.25) 3 - 1 with a solid performance.
Simon Cook (26.68) lost 3 - 1 to Gary Phipps (27.69) in a ding dong battle. Cook hit a 180 but Phipps pulled out all the stops to show why he won the most wins last year.
Adrian Genery (30.67) was simply awesome as he beat Mick Baglow (25.69) 3 - 0. Genery scored a 180 and would have had a huge average if he had hit his doubles first time.
Scott Lawrie (26.63) beat county A team-mate Sean Walsh (24.30) 3 - 1 hitting 2 x 180's on the way.
Marcus Smith (23.45) fought all the way but went down 3 - 2 to former P.D.C. and county A player Mark Landers (25.92).
Peter Barton (24.50) never gave up and came from 2 - 1 down to beat county B man Darryll Claydon (25.69) to make the score 5 - 5.
Next on was Jamie Robinson (27.73) who lost 3 - 2 to county A stalwart Johnny McFall (30.56) in the game of the night. Neither player missed a shot out, Robinson hit 2 x 180's and legs of 18 and 15 darts and McFall hit a 180 and winning legs of 15, 17 and 18 darts.
Kevin Cook (26.48) will wonder if it might have been different had he not bounced out of a double in the opening leg against another county A man, Jimmy Allison (26.84). Cook scored a 180 but Allison ran out a 3 - 0 winner and took the match for Hockley. |

Harwich 9 Cressing 3 (18/04/08) |
|
Harwich ended a long hard season in the league on a high as they overcame a more than useful Cressing side 9 - 3, despite having 3 players missing and only having the bare bones to pick from. This win confirmed Harwich finishing in third place, their highest ever finish, 13 points clear of the next team.
Harwich's number 1 pair Scott Lawrie and Marcus Smith had far and away their worst game and lost to Stuart Mortimer and Mick Cain (31.56) in the first pairs.
Scratch pairing Ben Attridge and Tommy Armstrong played steadily to beat Barry Gilbey and Dave Saunders as the Cressing pair missed doubles.

Kevin Edwards (29.47), fresh from his successful weekend at Selsey, was once again superb as he beat Bob Watson-Lang (28.02) 3 - 0 in a match that was closer than the score-line suggests with Edwards always having the edge.
