Walters inspires Oldham

DARTS:

IAN Walters averaged an impressive 88.99 for every three darts thrown as Oldham recorded back-to-back wins in the Lancashire GMC Super Eights Elite League. He recorded a 4-1 victory in a 7-3 defeat of hosts Lune Valley.

Lead-off man Lee Holden put Oldham ahead with a 4-3 win (70.00 ave), and further successes from Dave Yates (4-1, 85.28), John Downs (4-3, 85.12), Dave Rawstron (4-3, 87.55) and Walters helped their side to a 5-1 advantage.

The visitors lost game seven, but 4-0 victories from John Moreton (79.15) and Stuart Holden (81.07) sealed the win. Yates and Moreton each registered a maximum 180.
