BERYL Glover has put her name on the York White Rose Ladies' League trophy for the sixth time.

The Fulfordgate ace was facing stiff opposition in three-time champion Maureen Tindall. Nevertheless, Glover packed in some consistent scoring to beat the Railway Institute representative 2-0 with 23, then 22 darts.

Coach and Horses, Tadcaster, picked up the pairs' prize with Maggie Adamson-June Mallory.

Earswick Bowling's Janice Turton-Sue Smith shot out first, but the Coach duo equalised and Mallory made the winning double.

Donna Dwyer, Eileen Carter and the finish from Yvonne Broadhead put Lord Collingwood one up towards taking the triples trophy, but Winning Post didn't relish being passed.

They levelled and, supported by Gloria Harrison and Lily Jackson, their captain Ann Robinson sealed the match-winner.

Crystal Palace retained their unbeaten record and are York John Smith's Ladies' League division one champions.

Palace raced to a 3-0 lead but Dot Dykes and Tina Platt replied to give Tap hope. However, Michelle Britton regained Palace's composure and they went on to a 6-3 result.

Diane Moreland won the opener for Phoenix at Cue Ball. But Tracey Farmeary kick-started a five-game victory run, Sue Smith securing it, while sisters Claire Robinson and Gill Warriner were Slip's only singles winners against Independent.

Dawn Exton was again in ton mode as Cygnet 'A' beat their 'B' team 7-2 and Clifton were taken to 4-4 at Slipper by Liz Richford-Pat Nelson before Richford's daughters, Lynn and Jacqui, won the decider.

Britannia were taken to the wire by Flag, whose Kay Snowden partnered Jane Dobson to set up a decider. Britannia's captain, Chris Swales, paired with Sally Swales to secure the victory.

Division two front-runners, Dringhouses, were without their inspirational captain, Margaret Bell, who had to sit on the sidelines with a broken finger as they lost 5-4 to Leeman 'B', Eileen White partnering Toni Smallwood to victory.

The battle for second place saw Britannia 'B' start well with Chris Garbutt and their captain, Alison Buckley. Anne Smith resolutely replied for Holgate but Sam McShane and Betty Pinder again opened the margin and Buckley partnered Rose Foakes to seal the result.

Margaret Yeomans was Leeman 'A' team's best, but Val Pinder sparked a Burton WMC onslaught which saw Jacqui Ridall sealing the win.

The battle of the two Shepherd sides had the 'B' team commandeering the singles 5-1, Brenda Hodgson the lone 'A' team success.

Debbie Benson-Julie Maycock secured a 5-4 victory for Clifton over Jubilee, who had a double-ton scorer in Maxine Midgley.

Severus slammed Blacksmith's Arms 6-3 and Mitre enhanced their chance of division three honours by beating the top team Tang Hall WMC 6-3. Freda Harman included two 114 scores.

Burnholme are now joint-leaders. They secured the first five before Anne Keswick put Vaults on the scoresheet. Gwen Emmerson-Nikki Riley made the final score 6-3.

Barbara Russell-Sharon Rishworth snatched Leeman 'C' the decider at Woolpack, while Puss 'A' had Carol Stone-Cath Garnett sealing a 5-4 victory over their 'B' team.

Old Ebor had Audrey Allan out in 21 darts but were beaten 7-2 by Cue Ball, while Mount fended off stout resistance by Reindeer to win 6-3.

Rufforth's Tankard Inn swept up another Marston Moor Villages Doubles-Board League trophy to add to their league and triples success when beating Royal Oak, Tadcaster, in the six-a-side competition final.

The semis saw Oak beat Sun and Tankard wallop Hammerton Social 6-0. But the final was ding-dong all the way.

Games went with the throw.

John Collins, Alan Whitehead (22) and Steve Green took Tankard singles, but Oak levelled with Gary Stead, Andy Carter (21) and Andy Hill (100 finish for 21) collecting those intervening.

Collins-Whitehead again put Tankard ahead and, true to form, Stead partnered Hill to set up the decider, which was close, but Green-Mark Woodward denied Oak a shot at a finish.
