LEAGUE champions Timperley Cons kicked off their Altrincham and Sale Round the Board Darts League Team Knockout campaign with a 6-1 win against Station last week.

Budenburgs pulled off a magnificent 5-2 victory against a tough Cringlewood side and in that half of the draw it puts Cons top at this stage followed by Budenburgs, the top two teams going through to the semi-finals in two weeks' time.

In the other half of the draw, Central took on British Rail, with Steve Holt and Nigel Beeton drawing the first game.

Central then went on to win the next two before the Rail bounced back with two of their own as the match finished level at 3½-3½.

Gardeners and Old Hall have yet to play in this half of the draw.
