Richardson who claimed the initial iteration of the Remote Darts League whitewashed John O’Shea 6-0 with a 92 average to begin his campaign.

While he upped that further to hit a 115 average to defeat Lorraine Winstanley also in a whitewash in the performance of the tournament so far.

In this match, he hit 11 140’s and also 60% on his doubles in an excellent display. It wasn’t a clean sweep though as he went on to draw 5-5 with Darren Herewini but it was another excellent night for ‘Ruthless’.
