Scutt takes over lead from Thomas after second day of Online Darts League action

Martin Thomas has lost the lead in the first week of Phase Five of the Online Darts League to Connor Scutt.

Scutt was in excellent shape on Tuesday with four wins in five games. He lost to Thomas (4-2), but took the win against Aaron Turner (4-3), Richard North (4-1), Carl Wilkinson (4-1) and Michael Warburton (4-2).

He and Thomas now both have fourteen points, but the leg difference is well in the leader's favour. Wilkinson is the closest in the chasing pack with twelve points, while Warburton and North are on eight points. Turner is bottom with four points.

Each player will play once a day until Wednesday against the other players in the group. The winner of this group will advance directly to Saturday's final.  

The numbers two and three in the rankings will play a new group on Thursday night and Friday night against three new players. These are Jim Williams, Matthew Dennant and Rob Collins.

The numbers five and six of the standings on Wednesday, also play a new group against new entrants. In this group, Darryl Pilgrim, Graham Usher and Tony Newell are the entrants. They come into action on Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon. From the evening group, three players go through to the final and from the morning group two, so the final consists of six players.

Unlike the first edition of the Modus League in 2020, the games will not be played online via a webcam connection, but at a location in Southampton, England. The matches can be followed via Online Darts' YouTube channel.
