Misses prove costly for Harwich
7:41am Monday 12th May 2008
Numerous missed doubles cost Harwich dear as they lost to Thameside in a play-off after drawing 12-12 in the Essex Superleague Kockout Cup.
Having missed several chances to seal the win, Harwich saw the game go into a play-off.
With the score at 12-12 Harwich skipper George Lord selected Scott Lawrie for the play-off while Thameside picked Steve Johnson.
Lord's decision looked to be the right one as Lawrie raced into a 1-0 lead only to miss two darts at double top to win the match.
Johnson took full advantage of the slip and then won the game for Thameside with a superb 13-dart leg.
