TRACEY Farmeary will contest four of the five finals at the York John Smith’s Ladies League finals event tonight after playing some stunning darts in the semi-finals.

Farmeary included a maximum, 140 and two 100s, and closed on double two in the first leg, when partnering Cueball ‘B’ colleague Angie Hields.

Their captain/vice-captain’s match against Cygnet’s Michelle Britton and Dawn Exton went into a decider.

The Cueball pair then shot ahead and sealed the win with a double one closure.

In the final, they meet Ox’s Sandra and Tracey Bruce, who recovered from a 1-0 deficit against Slip ‘B’s Becky Laverack and Clair Cooper.

For the triples, Farmeary was joined by snooker club colleagues Tina Platt and Lynne Clapham, where they beat Cueball ‘A’ team’s Audrey Carling, Sue Smith and Faye Hawksby. Hawksby hit 140 in the first leg to keep the ‘A’ team in touch, but Farmeary closed 52.

In the second leg, Hawksby slipped in a double four closure to level. The decider went to the wire and Platt closed double one to win it.

In the final, they meet the strong Clifton trio Sue Lowery, Carole Layne and Jo Hodges, who knocked out Cygnet’s Amanda Britton, Sarah Nicklin and Angela Smith 2-1.

Nicklin scored well as Cygnet went one up but Clifton set up the decider and a double top checkout by Lowery sent them through.

Clifton’s Hodges and Ruth Norman were no match for Farmeary and Hields in the pairs, crashing 2-0.

The Cueball duo will meet Slip ‘B’s Roz Kerr and Babs Harrison in the finals. The Slip pairing won through against Michelle Britton and Exton.

Farmeary went one up with a 25-dart game in the individuals against Amanda Britton, who hit back to level in 24. Farmeary closing double one for victory in the decider.

Kerr progressed to the final by beating Cueball’s Lynne Clapham by the same margin.

Hields was involved in the Drawn Pairs with Locomotive’s Florence Crampton. They ran out 2-0 victors against Carol Price and Sandra Bruce.

They meet Laverack and Swan’s Kathy Evans, who were taken to the wire by Cueball’s Jayne Janes and Winning Post’s Rosie Hattee.
