THREE points finally separated Rayne Cock and Dunmow Cricketers after their season-long battle for top spot in the Ridley League's North Section.
It all came down to the final fixture, with the Cock's nine-point haul against local rivals the Retreat putting them tantalisingly out of reach of the long-time leaders, who were held to
8-7 by Flitch Snooker.
The Rayne dartsmen took the first four singles, Matt Atkinson celebrating a great win against Simon Twin after both hit 180. The Cock added the mixed and women's games, leaving the Bocking side only the dominoes points.

Lucy Ward-Geddes did her bit for the Cricketers with wins in the mixed, women's (unpartnered) and dominoes against Flitch Snooker; defeat in the dommies, however, meant her side couldn't close the gap on the leaders.
The Chequers made a heroic bid to get into the 'medal positions', but were foiled as the Three Horseshoes fought back from a singles rout to take five points from the Felsted derby. Glen Wright (singles and mixed) had a hand in the only three legs won by Bardfield Vine's darters against a rampant Black Lion. The Vine, however, ruled supreme in the dominoes.
