LEADERS Walnut Tree recovered from a 2-0 deficit to beat Castle Howard Ox ‘A’ 9-2 in division one of the York John Smith’s Ladies Darts League.

Flossy Crampton and Danni Laycock had put Ox in front, but a fine 23-dart leg from Carol Perrett inspired Tree, who did not lose another game.

Tramways kept on the right lines as top-scoring from Carole Layne and Roz Kerr steered them to a 6-3 victory at Burnholme.

Michelle Britton gamed in 25 darts as she guided Lions to a 7-2 victory at Bootham Club to keep up the pressure on the top two.

Tracey Farmeary and Lynne Clapham hit the tons as Cueball ‘B’ won at Slipper, for whom Doreen Johnstone and Elaine Metcalfe were the only winners.

Jo West was the star for Flag, hitting 134 and 100 in her singles and then combining with Chris Hedley to seal victory by the meanest margin at Clifton.

Edinburgh Arms are keeping up their push for honours in division three. Donna Lynes, Julie Stables and Amanda Bevan led the line as Shepherd ‘A’ were defeated 6-3.

Alison King crowned an excellent result for Turpin, hitting a maximum and two tons as they were denied a full house by Severus ‘B’s Michelle Kelly. Turpin’s win saw them move into second place.

Leeman ‘A’ made home advantage count, winning all the pairs to beat Jubilee, while Di Coldwell and Janet Clegg gave Swan a good start at Shepherd ‘B’, but Sonya Love kick-started Shep’s winning reply.

Woolpack got another win under their belt as Kath Powell and Sharon Lyons snatched a narrow margin success against Sun.

In division two, Beeswing and visitors Severus ‘A’ were all square entering the pairs. Davina Shannon and Sue Richardson edged the club side in front, but Sharon Mountain and Jodie Dowson set up a decider, in which ’Wing captain Julie Judson and Joyce Kane snatched victory.

Debbie Pollard closed 69 and captain Mary Thomas hit 140 and 100 to inspire Acomb ‘B’ to victory at Burton Club.

Acomb ‘A’ had Sammy Endersby and Sarah Rankeillor scoring well in their 7-2 triumph against visitors Leeman ‘B’.

Ox ‘B’ had last pair Tracy Green and Karen Stewart (2 x 100) snatching victory against Palace.
