WAGON and Horses A beat Rising Sun B 5-2 in their Bewdley Town Darts League match on Friday.

However, Simon Thomas soon squashed this idea with a convincing win in the next singles, beating Welsh to clinch the game for Wagon.

Wagon also won the next doubles, leaving Andrew Perry to sin a late consolation game for the Sun over Paul Edwards
