Jo fills hubby's boots!
WITH Darren Cundy on his travels competing in Ireland, it was left to wife Jo to take care of domestic matters at Ilkeston in the Bankers Trios.
Daz knows that Weasel Stompers are in safe hands as Jo was again superb on 697 in leading the champions to a 6-2 win.

Trent Enders had Andrew Lacey on 546 as they beat There’s Always One 6-2.
Moss’s lead in the Premier League was cut by two as despite Dennis Henshaw being on 586 in a 5-2 win, Piggybank took all seven against The Mafia, Richard Burton on 613, Asti Trolley 604 and John Bramley 591.
In the 21C Trios, Zodiacs had Steve Needham on 625 in a 5-2 win over Wizards. Warriors go second after beating 21C 7-0, while Bowled Over go back to third after losing 5-2 to Never Mind, Norman Doe on 609, Paul Mellows 579 and Paul Snell 572 but it wasn’t enough as Steve Rowland shot 617, Andy Billingham 584, Dave Bennett 562 and Gerry Harris 596.

First Arrow had Rob Thurlby on 922 and Greg Pullinger 799 as they beat Rumble Turtle 5-0, Ali Cliff on 836.
Hooking Balls have found their feet in the Derbyshire Building Society Trios, Daz McFadden’s 584 not enough for Suk-Is-Bak as they lost 5-2, Rob Thurlby on 687, Martin Chapman 665 and Colin Chapman 593.
Tigers are still a point clear at the top, Dave Buckley on 612 in a 4-4 with Thunderbirds, Julia Thomas on 552.
Previous leaders Patchwork Grace were way off the pace compared to recent weeks and drop to second after losing 8-0 to Hustlers.
Nemesis re-appear in the frame at fifth, two points behind the champions, Robert Scott’s 596 leading an 8-0 win against Believers.
What a difference a couple of wins makes! Occupying cellar position in the Ron Brooks Toyota Trios until last week, Jet Cafe are now within three points of emerging at the other end. A 4-0 win the previous week kick-started the revival and they had another maximum against Piggybank.
Terry Hart shot 631, Roy Giles 586 and Tony Ladbrooke 571.
Leaders Treble Scotch were under-strength but Paul Snell hit 669 and Asti Trolley 581 in losing 3-1 to Nemesis, Ian Sugden on 564 but Scotch stay top by three points.
Tsunami had Mark Flanagan on 592 as they took all four against Tri Hard III.
Chain Gang are well on the way to a successful defence of the Public Service Trios title.

With Colin Chapman shooting 662, Martin Chapman 630 and Mark Harper 613, the match was over as a contest after two games.
Polaris, 198 pins clear, must have been left wondering how the clean sheet escaped them as Team Xtreme, led by Steph Gent on 584, did not give up the ghost and edged the third by four pins.
Blue Chips had Jim Soar on 621 and Dan Chan 620 but could only draw 4-4 with Terrorpins, Mirek Rus earning his team a share of the spoils with 560.
