In the other half of the draw Andy Goodfellow and  young Kieran Seales were the standout players and met in a brilliant semi-final. Kieron had his chances but Andy won a thriller 3-2.

Friday 25th April Another Night of Scintillating Darts.
The Super League Singles Cup followed in the footsteps of this seasons competitions and was won by The Phoenix B's CHRIS HARVEY  by 3 legs to 2 from Paul Sinclair from the Rose and Crown who was the top scorer with a fabulous  4 maximums.   Chris Harvey had the top out shot of 160 and Andy Goodfellow was in the high scores once again with 3 x 180's
Young rising star Kieran Seales who went in 4th seed got knocked out on 7 points which usually guarantees qualification for the QF's.
In summary Harvey and Sinclair were stand out players on the night and rightly fought out a great final.
