THE Lafferty Shield final in Grappenhall Darts League was between Golden Lion and Barn Owl.
In the first semi-final Garry Sherlock, 13 darts, and D. Rowles, 18 darts, started off very well for Bulls Head against Lion. But Lion won the next five games with G. Noon, 13 darts, N. Johnson, 17 darts and M. Cooper, 24, helping to put Lion into the final.
In the second semi W. Holt won the first game in 18 darts for Barn Owl against Star.
L. Kinder made it 1-1 with a 23 darter. But then Barn Owl won the next four games with good displays from Steve Welsh, 14 darts, A. Collins, 19 darts, Don Welsh, 22 darts and R. Stoll, 26 darts.
Golden Lion easily beat Barn Owl 4-0 in the final. Barn Owl had their chances but did not take them. The experience of playing in a final will benefit their young players.
G. Noon, 26 darts, B. Watson, 29, S. Tatlock, 30, M. Cooper, 36, were the winners for Lion.
