LADIES DARTS: We played high flyers The White Hart at home on Monday and although we lost 9-2 we played very well and the score does not reflect how well we did play. Jackie Danaher was our only singles winner and with Eileen Morgan/Steph Goldsmith the only pairs winners we had lost the match before we lost all the trebles but there were some close matches where we had the chance to win more than just the 2 games.
