The final game was a cracker, especially if your names Chris Stanley, since he joined the Harrisons last season it would hard to dispute that he has become not only the most improved player in the league but one of the best, remember he already holds the least darts this season? Anyway to the game, he took on the home favourite Spencer Trow, it looks good for Spence as he opens with 100 and 140, but Chris slams in, 140, 95, 100, 60 and 106 in 3 for a 15 darter. The 2nd leg sees Chris go out in 18 darts, hitting 140, 125 and again another century finish, 105 in 3; his only blemish was he opened with 26? The 3rd leg and he hits, 100, 123, 140, 26 (again) 48 and 64 in 2, game over in 17 darts, total darts used 50, and Spence runs to the bar for shelter.
Spence; 100 and 140, average, 20.66.
Chris; 9 x 100+ scores, average, 30.06. (shame about the 26’s)
