McKeevers' in driving seat as they increase lead

THERE are only three league fixtures remaining in the Eglinton and District Darts League Sponsored by Avis Rent A Car (City of Derry Airport) and McKeevers extended their lead at the top to 12 points so they are in the driving seat to be retaining league champions.

Surprisingly there were no maximum scores last Thursday night but the highest checkout went to Shaun Murray (Riverside Bar A)

with a finish of 113.

The least darts of the week were from Colin Maxwell (McKeevers) with two legs of 16 darts.

All bars must have at least one representative in attendance to pay any outstanding monies and also to make draws for upcoming competitions.

Meanwhile the league would like to congratulate Michael McCloskey (Rising Sun top flight) who won the inter area league singles
