Darts ace Jason Clark reckoned his painful grunts every time he threw an arrow in the Scottish Grand Prix were as near to Monica Seles as made no difference.

Only in this case, the Shepherd's Bush man was in sheer pain rather than copying the trademark of the former tennis champion.

Clark's return to the oche last Friday after three months away came as he nursed a painful shoulder. And although winning three hard matches, went out to Wes Newton, 3-1 in sets.

The following two days in the concurrent Scottish Players Championship, the 'Cockney Jock' gritted his teeth but suffered the same 3-1 defeats to Alex Roy and Lionel Sams.

He said: "I'm really happy with the way I played, and God help them when I'm better - but I need to go back to a sports injury doctor."

Sonia Mkoloma'ss England netball team finished their tour Down Under with a 61-22 loss in the final test against New Zealand.

The Ladbroke Grove goal-defence performances over the six-matches were praised by the England coaching staff, despite losing all three tests to the Aussie world champs, England were tied one-all with the Silver Ferns before last week's decider.
