Neweys Lot have won the MCDL Division One title but the runners up place is yet to be decided but looks like No More Bets will be runners up unless Top Flight win their rearranged game 12-0. In Division Two One hit wonders are promoted as Division Two Champions with runners up spot yet to be decided
25th March 2010
The leagues are nearly decided, with just one game left to play Neweys lot need 5 legs to secure the title, while at the bottom both Parkfield and Good Bad & Uglies have both found the going in Division One difficult and will return to Division Two darts next season. In Division Two One Hit Wonders are promoted and need just two legs to win the Division Two title, who goes up with them depends on Legionaires result with Ladybirds and the rearranged game between Cunning Stunts & Snooker Roadies and Cunning Stunts final game against Braza Rebels, however Legionaries are looking good for a return to Division One next year.
The league also needs a new secretary for next season.

4th December 2009
Game of the season so far should have been the 6-6 draw between One Vision and Neweys Lot, but read on. What made the game great was the 78 ton plusses, including 3 180s, 2 from Steve Roberts and 1 from Paul Newstead. The game was leg for leg until the last two games when Neweys Lot need the last two games for the draw, Paul Newstead and Dave Pinder came up trumps and secured the draw, however the result may not be enough for Neweys Lot come the end of the season. Elsewhere Parkfield had a 6-6 draw against Good Bad & Uglies. In Division two, there were two firsts. Mace inya Face had a 7-5 win away at Legionaires who suffered their first defeat of the season and Snooker Roadies won their first game………….yes since they joined the league in the 2006-2007 season they have played with great sportsmanship a smile and a handshake but never won a game until Friday 4th December 2009 when they beat Braza Rebels 7-5 wit Dave Coombs securing the victory in the last game of the night. Congratulations and hope that’s the first of a few!!

As some of you may or may not be aware our good friend Mark Cross has been taken ill recently and was diagnosed with the big C. However after finding the bastard disease very quickly he has undergone surgery and told to enjoy the festive season. I have attached the email I received from him should anyone want to read it and maybe send him an email or wish him all the best. What was spooky is that we as a league had already decided to support the oncology ward D9 at Addenbrookes how apt!!
