Alan v Adam

DDL League honours went to Adam, who defeated Alan.

The opening recorded exchange saw Adam score 25 to leave 176, before Alan score 76 to leave 125. Those first visits set the starting point for a contest that would ultimately be settled by the finish.

There was little to separate the players in the scoring figures. Adam's 28.71 average and Alan's 26.85 left a gap of just 1.86 points per visit. With neither player enjoying a substantial advantage on that measure, the decisive difference lay in turning the scoring into a completed finish.

Alan produced the match's biggest visit with 78, while Adam reached 73. Alan could point to the larger scoring burst, but it did not secure the result.

The recorded final-leg visits include 1 bust for Adam and 3 busts for Alan. Those visits left the scores unchanged and prolonged the route to a finish. Alan was still on 22 when Adam took out 38. The opponent had brought the remaining score within 170, but the decisive finish belonged to Adam.

Adam closed the match with a 38 checkout (D19). The checkout may have been small in value, but it was the decisive score of the match—the one that turned the contest into a confirmed win. The winning leg was completed in 21 darts.

Adam took Player of the Match (7.7); Alan was rated 6.6.
