BRITISH Legion A made a storming start to their Barrow Monday Games League darts campaign.

The Legion throwers are the only team with two wins from the opening two rounds of fixtures, whitewashing Labour Club and following up with a 4-2 success against the Soccer Bar.

Alan Butterworth was the man to watch in week one, as he hit a 17-dart game, with a maximum 180, two tons and a 54 knock-up.

A week later, he was at it again, with his two legs of arrows producing three scores of 140 and one more ton.

Team-mates Alan Fraser (2x140, 2x100 in two legs) and Wayne Baxendale (138, 2x100 in two legs) also impressed against the Soccer Bar, for whom Harry Bateman (140, 125, 121 and 100 in two legs) was on form.

Soccer Bar are the dominant snooker team early on, with a brace of 5-1 successes under their belts.

West Shore won in both disciplines in the opening week before their bye, with Graham Edwards compiling a 40 break on the green baize.

Other notable snooker efforts in week two came from Jamie Thompson (Central, 34 break), Tommy Barbour (Greengate, 32 break) and Dave Dunn (British Legion, 23 break).

Monday's Fixtures: West Shore v Central, British Legion v British Legion A, Soccer Bar v Greengate. Labour Club – bye.
