Nine-dart hero Monk and Portela top Icons of Darts League Group Three at halfway point

The third day of the third week of the Icons of Darts League has seen two players in particular impress so far in the form of Arron Monk and Diogo Portela.

Monk of course will take the plaudits so far after hitting a nine-dart finish during his win over James Hubbard - the first in the MODUS ran competitions. He also hit a 108 average to produce one of the best overall performances, nine-dart finish aside so far.

He started the day himself by seeing off Andy Jenkins in a 5-2 win where he averaged 96 en route and two 180's.

Portela has also impressed dispelling Adam Huckvale's winning start against James Hubbard with a 5-2 victory and a high checkout of 125. That was followed up shortly after the nine-darter with a second win from two as he edged past Andy Jenkins 5-4.

The Icons of Darts League is a competition that runs on 24 different days from Monday April 6 through to Saturday May 2. Each playing week consists of six players. There are five players on each matchday with one player taking a rest.

Each day consists of four matches for each player with the player with the most wins claiming the group win for that day.
