The second semi-final saw Dougal Powell, Gary Newell and Paul van Ewijk (Old Barn Owls) defeat team-mates Perry Basley, Ian Kewin and Dean Knight.

The final started with Hales taking a 120 in-shot on the way, but Powell also started on the first throw. The Monters pushed into the lead with 99 from Hales and 94 from Owens, leaving 16 for Bartley. But it was Owens who hit the double for the first leg.

The second leg saw the Monters start first again with Old Barn taking their time to find form. Powell hit a 140 and a few more good scores from Newell and van Ewijk helped them get even closer, but the Monters were on their double.

With 52 left Owens slipped and hit single one. His next dart hit the single 19, leaving 32 which he hit with double 16 using his last dart, taking the win and the division-two trebles title for 2016-17.
