Tendering vs Maldon Challenge 2026
Tendring 16 - 14 Maldon

Another very close affair with it being 5-5 after the pairs, though Maldon should really have been in front at this stage. Super performances from Roy Laybourn who won with a 31.31 per dart average and Asa Cansdale Jnr who got the Man of the Match winning with a superb 32.32 average, and a special mention to Marg Johnson drawn out last a narrowly lost in a nailbiting finish to what could have been an overall draw!

Rule Focus

A reminder about rule 7 - please make sure you adhere to the rules

7) A chalk board or white board is to be used for scoring.

The home team must provide a competent marker. Definition of a competent marker is as follows;-
- Acts as the referee to the leg being played
- Must give 100% attention to the leg being played (i.e. not wandering off for food, talking to team mates or using mobile phones etc)
- Must write each score clearly and subtract it quickly from the remaining total
- Must try to remain as still as possible whilst players are throwing and only check scores when asked or when the player has finished throwing.
- Can tell players what they have scored and what they have remaining when asked, but must not tell them which way to finish.

Darts must remain in the board until the score has been recorded
Darts must be retrieved by the player and not moved by the marker
The marker must show both the amount scored and the amount remaining
No corrections to the remaining amount can be made once the player has thrown again
