Premier League Round 17 Full Ladder

Imports 8 vs Peeping Toms 12 Match Stats

Both sides paying for pride and it was Imports who started brightest and eased to a 4-2 lead early on before the Toms went up a gear taking each of the last three rounds of singles 3-1.  The doubles were shared and the two points saw the Toms catch Raptors on the ladder and actually finish ahead of them on legs difference.

All Imports chipped in with Nev and Shane winning 3 each and Andy and James two each.  Shane banged in a nice 110 peg as well.

Ross finished the year with another haul of 6 from 6 including two 18 darters and Sam won 5 times and hit a 180.

Raptors 7 vs Dragoffs 13 Match Stats

Another plucky short-handed effort from the Raptors but in the end going down 13-7 to finals bound Dragoffs.

Corey reliable as ever with 4 wins and 5 140s with Liam winning 3 times.  Alex and Rod both picked up 5 wins from Dragoffs.

Scorpions 12 vs Stray Darters 8 Match Stats

A dress rehearsal for the finals saw the Strays pull away and open up 7-4 lead only for the Scorps to hit top form and swept the next round of singles.  In this run of four games to nil the Scorpions hit 8 140s and a 180 in nine legs of 501.  The result was still in the balance with the doubles to come but Brian and Pat closed the door with a 17 dart leg of doubles to get their team over the line.  This was a good quality encounter with 34 140’s, 5 180s, 5 low games and one ton-plus peg.

Glen the pick for Scorpions with 5 wins, 3 140s, a 180 and a 17 darter, with Brian adding a quadrella of 3 140s, a 180, a 106 peg and 3 low games (15, 16 and 17 darters).  BA also won 3 times and hit 2 140s and a 180.

For Strays Dave won 4 and hit 4 140s, with Frosty (4 140s) and Banz (2 140s and a 180) adding two wins each.  Ciaran added a 16 darter to the honour roll.

Red Scorpions 11 vs Aha Gotcha 0 Match Stats

A forfeit win for the Reds.

We’re On 

A bye for the We’re On.

A GRADE Preliminary Finals

(1) Scorpions “B” vs (4) Pinoy Darters

The dangerous 4th place qualifiers looked on paper like a potential banana skin for the B’s.  This was still the case when the Pinoys were poised at 3-2 down despite being swept in the doubles.  From there the minor premiers demonstrated why they finished on top of the ladder with a ruthless performance that saw them take 8 of the last 9 games to secure a place in the grand final with a victory by 11 games to 4.

Hilly, Tristan and Darryl unbeaten in three with Grant hitting a 16 darter.  Mel won his two singles and hit an 18 darter with circles also for Roger and Bob.

(2) Javelins Vs (3) Nek Minit

The two previous meetings between these two teams had been close with Javs winning 12-9 at the start of November after Nek Minit had taken the previous match 11-10 back in July.  Despite the closeness of the earlier meetings the Javs were too strong on the night this time.  An early 2-1 was stretched to 4-1 and the home team never looked back from there.

NM stopped the bleeding in the second round of singles by sharing the six games but they really needed to make inroads into the Javs’ three-game cushion.  With the score at 9-6 Bryan and Hugh won their games and put the Javelins into the final by a margin of 11 games to 6.

The wins were spread around for NM with Mar (4 tons) and Blain (4 tons) winning once together in the doubles and once each individually in the singles.  Top Javelin was Bryan with 4 tons and 4 wins from 4 with Pete winning both his singles and Hugh winning in the doubles and two from three in the singles.

President’s Shield: First Leg

Mustangs Vs Tossers

A new format for The President’s Shield with the two finalists playing home and away.  The first leg was at Mitchelton and things were tight with two of the three doubles games going to a decider.  Happily for the visitors they were able to convert their chances and went out to a healthy 3-0 lead.  Three-nil soon became five-nil and from here on in the Mustangs gave as good as they got, sharing the last ten games of singles five each.

In the end the home team’s slow start cost them but the format of the final means there’s still everything to play for in the second leg.  Great twin-win efforts from skipper Graham with 6 tons, two of which were over 130 and Chris who hit two tons of his own.  Daniel taking the honours for the visitors with 3 wins and 2 tons but mentions to the rest of the team who were all two-time winners: Rob (7 tons), Pat (3 tons and a 140), Kiana (1 ton) and Tracy.

Premier League Round 16 Full Ladder

The finals spots are decided with a week to go with Minor Premiers and reigning champs We’re On taking on Dragoffs and second place Scorpions hosting Stray Darters.

We’re On 16 vs Raptors 4 Match Stats

The Raptors finals hopes were ended by a ruthless We’re On side who seem to be gearing up for the finals after a couple of weeks that were quiet by their standards.

The Raptors doubles pairing of Liam and Corey won both of their games with Corey picking up a singles win as well.  Corey hit two 140s and a 180 with the skipper hitting a maximum as well.   Matty picked up the other circle for the visitors.

As always it’s impossible not to mention each of the players from the table-topping We’re On side.  Aaron (four 140s) and Justin (two 140s) both won all four of their singles and one game of doubles.  Four time winners were Pas, who hit three 140s and had finishes of 132 & 125, and Horse who completed a rare double trifecta with four 140s, two 180s, two 15 darters and two ton-plus checkouts of 126 and 141.  Exceptional stuff!

Dragoffs vs Aha Gotcha Match Stats

This forfeit win, plus Raptors defeat at the hands of We’re On, means Dragoffs secure fourth spot on the ladder with a week to play.

Red Scorpions 13 vs Imports 7 Match Stats

The doubles matches were the main difference in this one with the Reds taking them 4-0 with the singles being just 9-7 in their favour.

I think it’s worth mentioning all four Reds as this was a good solid team performance.  Three wins and a 140 for Glen and four wins and a 140 for Michael kept the scoreboard ticking over and powering them over the line were five time winners Willy (3 140s) and Steve (3 140s and a 17 darter).

Standing tall for Imports with three wins each were Shane and Nev, who added one more to his 180 tally.

Peeping Toms 7 vs Scorpions 13 Match Stats

The Scorpions got off to a 6-0 lead but things could have been so different as the first four games of singles all went to a deciding leg.  Had the Toms been able to convert some or all of these chances then an upset might have been on the cards.  The fact that the Toms are making these chances and pushing the top teams hard shows how much this team has improved over the course of 2017.

Brian AKA The Machine was purring along with 5 wins, 3 140s, a 180 and low games of 17 & 18 darts with strong support from Glen who won 4 times and had a 17 darter, with Pat firing in a 102 peg.

Stray Darters

A bye for the Strays.

A GRADE Round 16 Full Ladder

A grade finals will start next week with Scorpions B taking on Pinoy Darters and Javelins hosting Nek Minit,

Javelins 15 Vs Wildcats 6 Match Stats

The Cats were right in this at 5-4 down after the doubles and first round of singles but the Javs hit top gear and took the last two rounds 5-1 to register the win.  The two points guaranteed them second place on the ladder and a tie against third place Nek Minit in the finals.

Two wins each for Vikki (a ton and a 140) and Kelly (1 ton) with singles wins also for Shaz (6 tons including a 110 checkout) and Gila (1 ton).  Nikki obviously had her scoring boots on with 7 tons including a 140.  Peter (6 tons and a 140) and Max (3 tons) both won four times with Gavin (2 tons) and Hugh (1 ton) both winning three.

Devils 0 Vs Pinoy Darters 11 Match Stats

A forfeit win for Pinoy Darters who will take on the B’s in the first week of the finals.

Gremlins 14 vs Nek Minit 7 Match Stats

Nek Minit took an early lead but that was as good as it got for them as Gremlins won 13 of the 18 singles games.  This would be a bitter-sweet victory for the home team as despite the loss NM progress to the finals while they miss out by a couple of wins.

Blain in excellent form with three wins and 5 tons and two wins each for Shaun (4 tons) and Ngawai (1 ton) while Mark hit a 180.

Massive unbeaten performances from Richard, who hit 8 tons, 2 140s and a 180 , and Matt with 8 tons, a 140 and a 180.

Nemesis 6 Vs Scorpions 15 Match Stats

The Bs end season 2 as Minor Premiers with a 15-1 record after a thumping win over Nemesis at The Brook.

All five of the Nemesis wins game in the singles with Mark (3 tons, 2 140s) and Ben (2 tons, 2 140s) picking up two and one each for Daral (a ton, a 140 and a 180) and Banga (3 tons).

Undefeated were both Hilly (4 wins, 5 tons, 3 140s) and Grant (3 wins and 7 straight tons).  The B’s scored heavily all night with 50 ton plus scores for the night.  Wayne must be wondering how he only hit one 140 as he racked up scores of 2 x 123, 2 x 125 and 1 x 135!

Dragons Bye

A bye for Dragons

BNSDC – 2017 – Season 2 – Round 17

Premier League Round 15 Full Ladder

Dragoffs 10 vs Stray Darters 10 Match Stats

Dragoffs set a new league record with their third draw in succession against the Strays.  Dragoffs took a 3-0 lead and then were traded until the start of the final round of singles.  Strays won the first 3 games to sneak ahead 9-8 before normal Dragoffs service was resumed and the matched ended 10 each.

Three Strays led the way with 3 wins each, Jack (a 140, a 100 peg and 18 darter), Dave (4 140s and an 18 darter) and Ciaran (2 140s)  with Banz hitting a 16 darter.  For Dragoffs Alex won 5 times and hit 6 140s, a 180 and a 105 peg.  Also helping the cause were Rod with four wins and Blags with three.

This result meant that Strays secured third place as they are four points ahead of fourth place Dragoffs with two games to go.

We’re On 12 vs Peeping Toms 8 Match Stats

The Toms had chances in this one by all accounts but We’re On once again proved too strong, sealing the Minor Premiership in the process.  I say it every week but it’s true every week: WO taking the victory on the back of a strong all-round team performance.  Four wins each from Horse (5 140s) and Pas (1 140) with three each from Aaron (2 140s) and Kingy (1 140).

Ross once again showing he can mix it with the best with 6 wins out of 6 with 4 140s and a 130 peg.  His record against the top teams is really outstanding and his second undefeated showing against the reigning champs this season highlighted how hard he is to beat.  Other Tom of note was Sam who won three times and hit a 180.

Raptors 11 vs Red Scorpions 0 Match Stats

Forfeit win for the Raptors

Aha Gotcha 0 vs Imports 11 Match Stats

Forfeit win for Imports

Scorpions

A bye for the Scorps, who are guaranteed second place on the ladder after this week’s results.

A GRADE Round 16 Full Ladder

Javelins 11 Vs Dragons 10 Match Stats

Two teams with different motivations at this stage of the season with the Javs looking to keep momentum going for finals and Dragons hoping to improve their finishing position.  In the end it was the home team that took the spoils but it’s credit to Dragons that they pushed them every inch of the way.

The odd game of doubles was all that separated the two teams with Dragons leading 8-7 with 6 to play.  This became 9-all and 10-all before Luch (two 140s) grabbed his third win of the night to get them over the line.  A captain’s performance from Peter with 4 wins, 10 ton plus scores, a 105 peg and a 14 darter.

Three wins apiece for Dragons Connor (6 tons and a 140) and Benny (a 140) with Craig banging in 8 tons, two of which were 140s, in his two wins.

Scorpions B 13 vs Devils 8 Match Stats

A high scoring and high quality slugfest at West Mitchy with the Devils storming to a 7-4 lead only for the B’s to grab 6 of the last 7 games and the win.  The Devils desperately needed the two league points to stay with the Pinoys but it was not to be.

Grant on fire for the B’s, unbeaten on the night with 10 straight tons and three 140s.  Three wins each for Joe, who hit 8 tons and 2 140s, and Tristan who added 6 tons of his own to his team’s total of 38.  Leading the way for the visitors with three wins was Gary with another top-drawer performance.  He hit 9 tons, a 115 outshot, a 17 darter and an 18 darter.  Three other players won twice with the pick of them being Christian with 6 tons and a 17 darter.

Pinoy Darters 16 vs Wildcats 5 Match Stats

The Cats came up against a Pinoys who are hitting top form at the right time of the season.  Impressive as ever were Mel and Roger, who both won four from four.  Mel hit 15 tons of which 4 were 140s, and two 17 darters with Roger knocking in 10 tons plus a 125 peg.  Edgar also showing what he’s capable of with two singles wins from 2, two tons, three 140s, a 180 and a 16 darter.

Top Cat was Nikki with two singles wins and 6 tons while Vikki and Ness both won singles games as well.

For all the great darts that went in one of the more memorable moments was a from a dart that just missed….  Bob with this great attempt at catching the biggest fish in the pond.

Nemesis 6 Vs Nek Minit 15 Match Stats

Nek Minit keep the pressure on Javelins with a comprehensive victory over Nemesis.  Adam (4 tons and a 108 peg) and Daz (2 tons) won four from four with excellent support from Shaun who won three times, hit 11 tons including a 101 out and threw a 15 darter.

For Nemesis Daral picked up 2 wins and hit 4 tons.  Of the other one time winners a mention to Banga courtesy of his 5 tons.

Devils Bye

A bye for Devils

B GRADE President’s Shield

Tossers v Wanderers

Well playing the Seasons winners was never going to be an easy task but the Wanderers gave it their all! Tossers took the night 15-0 showing how dominant they have become over the season.

Both Lance and Dave from the Wanderers scored 140s on the night, putting up a strong fight against the Tossers, but it wasn’t enough to bring home a win for the Wanderers

Congrats to the Tossers on advancing to the next round of the Presidents Shield

Mustangs v Cannons

This game was a fight to the last dart. Cannons took the first doubles but then the Mustangs brought the first round home. Ian scored 174 in his double, contributing to the double win. The second round was anyone’s game, with both teams fighting strong and taking 3 a piece. It all came down to the very last games of the night, the 5th and 6th game of singles – no pressure guys!

Peter S and Gary had nail biter, to the third leg. But Peter S took the game and secured the Mustangs win of 8 games for the night.

Well done to the Mustangs and good luck on your next game!

Premier League Round 14 Full Ladder

Imports 2 vs We’re On 18 Match Stats

A one-sided affair as WO romped to a 13-0 lead before Shane, who hit six 140s, added the two Imports wins.  For the visitors it was 6 from 6 for Pas (five 140s and a 17 darter) and Aaron who landed seven 140s and two maximums.  Justin (three 140s and three 180s) and John (two 140s) added 5 wins each.

Red Scorpions 10 vs Dragoffs 10 Match Stats

This was a game with some real wild swings as first one side, then the other, got on a roll.  The Reds opened by winning the two doubles games before Dragoffs peeled off 8 of the next 10 singles games to charge into a commanding lead.  It was then time for the Reds to return fire which they did by winning the next five and edging to a 9-8 lead with two to play.  Dragoffs got it to 9-all, then 10-9 before Stephen,  and Michael held their nerve to bag a share of the spoils.

Stephen had a cracker with 5 wins, four 140s, a 17 darter and a 106 peg.  Three wins each for Michael and Glen.

Alex going best for the visitors with four wins, two 140s and a 15 darter.  Blags (one 140) and Rod (three 140s) also picked up three wins each.

Peeping Toms 7 vs Stray Darters 13 Match Stats

This game was effectively decided early on when the Strays nicked 4 singles games 2-1 that could really have gone either way.  This made it 6-1 to the visitors and they never looked back from that point on.

Ross the boss again for the Toms with 4 singles wins and a doubles win, six 140’s and a 17 dart leg.  Sam and Chris B both hit maximums.

Frosty (three 140s, a 114 peg and a 15 darter) and Dave (four 140s and a 180) both won 4 times for the Strays with Ciaran and Banz (two 140s and a 104 peg) picking up 3 wins each.

Scorpions 19 Vs Aha Gotcha 1 Match Stats

The Scorps were in especially ruthless mood against Aha Gotcha at Chermside.  Newly crowned Australian Masters Games Darts champ Brian returned to action and won 6 from 6 and gave up only one leg, in the doubles, and hit four 140s.  Other six time winners were Pat (three 140s, 110 peg) and BA (five 140s, a 180 and an 18 darter) with Glen picking up 5 wins with three 140s and a 171.

AG had two new faces playing for them.  Page picked up the win and Chris hit three 140s.

Imports vs Raptors

A bye for Raptors.

A GRADE Round 15 Full Ladder

Gremlins 15 Vs Wildcats 6 Match Stats

Gremlins keep themselves in the hunt for finals action with a 15-6 win over The Cats at Wantima.  It’s encouraging that 5 different Wildcats picked up singles wins with the best of them being Vikki with 2 circles, 3 tons and a 171.  One win each for Ness (1 tons, 1 140), Nikki (3 tons, 2 140s), Shaz (2 tons) and Kelly (3 tons).

Richard, who hit his usual ten tons and Matt who hit 2, a 140 and a 180 both won all four of their games with three other players (Terry, Ian and Peter) winning three.

Nemesis 10 Vs Pinoy Darters 11 Match Stats

An epic win by the Pinoys who were a man down and 8-7 down with the final round of singles to play.  The forfeit made the score effectively 9-7 but the visitors secured the four wins they needed to get the two league points that keeps them ahead of Devils on leg difference.

Ben (3 tons) picked up the most Nemesis wins with 3, with Don and Dave (3 tons) taking two contested games of singles.

All five PD players contributed plenty to the victory but no-one did more than Roger who won all four of his games and hit 8 tons, 4 140s and a 180.  Bob (4 tons plus a score of 156) and Edgar (a 180) won three times each.  Mel won twice and hit a staggering 18 tons, 4 of which were 140s.  Rounding it off was Leo, who picked up a vital win in the last round of singles and hit 4 tons.

Scorpions B 12 vs Dragons 9 Match Stats

The scorebook suggests that the Bs grabbed a 3 game cushion and held it until the end but the reality is that Dragons actually got it back to 9-all by grabbing the first two games of the final round of singles.  The Bs middle order held its nerve and put the match away with three two nil victories.

Tristan on song with 4 wins from 4, six tons, a 140 and a 16 darter.  Grant (5 tons) and Joe (3 tons) also went unbeaten winning three times.

Unbeaten on the other side of the book was Craig (4 wins, 2 tons, 2 140s) with Benny (3 tons) and Connor (4 tons, 3 140s) winning three apiece.  Paula hit the Dragons best peg of the night with a 2 dart 78.

Nek Minit 9 vs Javelins 12 Match Stats

It’s often the case that the team that wins the doubles wins the match but the Javs turned this thinking on its head by turning a 3-0 deficit into a 5-3 lead.  The rest of the match was close but the first round of singles proved to be decisive.

Both sides spread the wins around.  For NM Shaun won 3 times and hit a 180 with some heavy scoring amongst the two-time winners.  Adam hit 5 tons and 2 140s, Blain 6 tons and Ngawai 3 tons and a 180.  Definitely worth mentioning that Mark hit a 102 peg.

A very consistent Javs showing led by Pete (7 tons, 2 140s) and Max (4 tons) who had 3 wins each.

Devils Bye

A bye for Devils

B GRADE Round Grand Final Full Ladder

Jockys Vs Tossers 
The B Grade Grand Final saw the Tosssers off to a strong start, taking all 3 doubles wins straight up.

The Jockeys fought back and took almost every game in the first round of singles to 3 legs, with both Patrick and Gary taking wins to put the Jockeys on the board. Both Rob and Daniel were firing on all cylinders tonight, taking his doubles and single win in 2 legs.

It wasn’t to be though, the Tossers brought home the night, with 5 singles wins, seeing them take the trophy for winners of B Grade Season 2 Grand Final for a total score of 8 v 2. The score doesn’t reflect how hard the Jockeys fought to take down the opposition, but congratulations to Tossers for a solid win on the night.

Premier League Round 14 Full Ladder

We’re On 13 vs Stray Darters 7 Match Stats

Neither team really at their best but the champs took their opportunities better and ran out comfortable winners in the end.

Aaron (6 140s and a 180) took 6 from 6 and hit a 105 peg while Justin won 4 and hit two 180s.  Dave (3 140s) and Ciaran (17 darter) were top Strays with three wins apiece but Drew threw well going to the decider in each of his singles and hitting a 180 and a 17 darter.

Scorpions 10 Vs Dragoffs 10 Match Stats

The Scorpions involved in another cracker, this time during the all Chermside clash with the Dragoffs.  Eleven of the twenty games went to a deciding leg so a draw was probably the fairest result.

Rod in top form with 4 wins, 2 140s and a 171 with Alex winning three and hitting 2 140s and a 180.

For the Scorps it was all about the return of Scotty who could do no wrong picking up a perfect 6 wins and hitting two 140s.  Pat also going well with 4 wins, 4 140s and a 180 and a mention also to Bob for his 3 140s, 2 180s and 112 peg.

Red Scorpions 6 Vs Peeping Toms 14 Match Stats

A must win game for the Toms and they delivered with a solid 14-6 win over a constantly improving Red Scorpions side.

Sam leading the line honours this week with 6 from 6 and 2 140s and Ross not far behind with 5 wins and 5 140s.

For Reds Glen once again showed a flash of brilliance with a 158 peg and a 15 darter.   Willy leading the side well as always with three singles wins from 3, while Steve hit a very tidy 112

Raptors 9 Vs Aha Gotcha 11 Match Stats

The three Raptors gave it a huge go in the Wantima local derby and were only held at bay by a massive performance by someone making their Aha Gotcha debut… But first, those Raptors

Corey: 3 singles wins, 5 140s and a 180
Dinga: 3 singles wins, 3 140s and a 180
Liam: 3 singles wins, and 3 140s

The only singles games they lost were against a truly elite level performance by The Mean Machine: two doubles wins….four singles wins…two 180s….four 140s…high pegs of 120 & 140 and low games of 15, 17, 18 & 18 darts.  It’s not often we see a triple-double of 2+ maximums, 2+ high pegs and 2+ low games but this was one of those rare occasions.

Imports vs Bye

A bye for Imports.

Gremlins 0 Vs Javelins 11 Match Stats

Forfeit for Javelins

Dragons 6 Vs Pinoy Darters 15 Match Stats

It’s a testament to the strength of this season’s A Grade that a team as strong as Pinoy Darters is outside the top 4 with 3 weeks to go.  It’s going to be an exciting run in to the finals!

Connor won three times for Dragons and hit 4 tons with mark winning twice and hitting a team high five tons plus a 140.  Super finishing from Cathy taking out 68 on the bullseye.

Two Pinoys went four from four.  We’re used to seeing Mel (8 tons, 3 140s and a 14 darter) go undefeated but it’s great to see Leo getting back to his best as well.  Roger again irrepressible with 3 singles wins and 13 tons and Edgar also winning three times and hitting 10 tons, one of which was a 129 checkout.

Nek Minit 11 Vs Devils 10 Match Stats

This crazy encounter saw the lead change multiple times and could not have been closer going into the final round of singles: Devils were 8-7 up and 10-8 down before getting it back to 10-all only to lose it in the final game of the night.

The wins were spread around pretty evenly with three time winners being Shaun (6 tons and a 102 peg) and Daz (2 tons) for NM and Steve (6 tons and a 122 peg) and Gary (a mammoth 14 tons) for Devils.

Nemesis 11 Vs Wildcats 10  Match Stats

The Cats continue to do everything but win as they take another heartbreaking loss, this time at the hands of the Nemeses, 11 games to 10.  After taking the doubles 2-1 each round of singles ebbed and flowed but ended 3-all.  In the end Nemesis got over the line 11 games to 8 before the Cats picked up the last two circles.

Dave once again leading from the front with four wins and ton plus scores of 120 and 140 with Mark also undefeated from 4 games hitting a fixture-best 4 tons as well.

Big performances from Vikki, Ness and Shaz on the night.  Vikki (3 tons) won 4 from 4, Ness (3 tons) won all three of her singles and Shaz (1 ton) won two singles from three.

Scorpions B Bye

A bye for B’s

B GRADE Round Finals Week 1 Full Ladder

Jockys Vs Mitchelton Mustangs

First placed Jockeys faced off against the Mustangs this week for their chance to hold their number 1 spot through this season. Mustangs took the lead early with both Graham and Richard taking the win in their doubles and singles matches respectively. While Gary and Clive took the Jockeys only doubles win, the rest of the lads brought it home strong in the singles rounds taking the win of the night with 8 to 5. Special mention to Gary from the Jockeys taking both his doubles, and both single matches on the night, as well as Richard from the Mustangs.

Tossers Vs ALGC

Second place Tossers versus third place ALGC on the ladder was always going to be a tough match.

Tossers took the early lead winning 2 of their doubles, with Father and Son team Rupen and Yash taking the only doubles match for ALGC. First round of singles was hard fought, with both the Tossers and ALGC evenly winning 3 matches in that round. The fight went down to the very last games in the second round of singles, with Daniel securing the win that would have the Tossers reach 8 wins versus 5, and the overall win for the night.

Great performance on the night from Kiana who took not only her doubles win, but also her 2 matches of the singles, helping the Tossers to secure their victory.

Stray Darters 18 vs Aha Gotcha 2 Match Stats

Every win is crucial at this stage in the season and the Strays picked up another one with a dominant performance against Aha Gotcha at Chermside.

Gabe picked up the two singles wins and hit two 140s while Sean fired in a maximum.

Three Strays went the night undefeated with 5 wins from 5. Dave (4 140s, a 180 and low games of 18 & 14 darts), Jack (3 140s, a 180 and an 18 darter) and Ciaran.

Scorpions 10 Vs We’re On 10 Match Stats

This was the Premier League top of the table clash and the two best teams in the comp so far gave everything in a bid to get the two points.

It was one-all after the doubles and then three all after the first round of singles. Three all became five all before Scorpions won five out of the next six games to open up a 10-6 lead with four to play. John and Justin kept the tie alive and then, with both doubles games going to a deciding leg, We’re On completed the comeback to grab a share of the spoils.

It was largely a tale of two Scorpions with Pat (4 140s and a 180) winning five times and Bobby (3 140s and a 17 darter) four times. Glen hit the other of his team’s 180s.

WO’s MO is consistency and this was on display again tonight with each player winning 3 or 4 times. Leading the way was Aaron with 4 wins, 5 140s, 3 180s and a 17 darter. Three time winners were Pas who hit 5 140s, 3 180s and an 18 darter, Horse with 4 140s, and Justin who threw 3 140s.

Peeping Toms 7 Vs Dragoffs 13 Match Stats

The Peepers had the pleasure of playing host to a Dragoffs side featuring Pat Orreal and he certainly threw some high quality darts.  On the night he won all of his games, both doubles and singles, without dropping a leg and fired in 7 140s, a 180, low games of 14, 15 & 16 darts as well as two ton plus finishes of 101 and 114.  Brilliant stuff.  Next on the honours board was Rowey who bagged two singles wins to go with his doubles wins in partnership with Pat.  Rod  won three times and hit 4 140s, a 16 darter and a 110 checkout.

Ross (4 140s, 116 peg) and Sam (17 darter) put a real fight with 4 and 3 wins respectively.

Raptors 12 vs Imports 8 Match Stats

Massive effort from Raptors, who played this match with only three players and got up 12 games to 8.

For the visitors Nev and Shane both won twice.  It’s worth mentioning all three Raptors.  Top of the list was Corey with 6 wins 3 140s and a 17 darter with Dinga not far behind on 5 wins with two 140s and a 180.  Finally Wayne won 3 crucial games and hit 3 140s.

This win, coupled with Peeping Toms defeat put Raptors level on 10 points, 2 points behind 4th place Dragoffs with 5 weeks to go.  If my maths is correct both We’re On and Scorpions have made the finals but the other two places are up for grabs.

Red Scorpions vs Bye 

A bye for Reds this week.

A GRADE Round 14 Full Ladder

Pinoy Darters 8 vs Scorpions B 13 Match Stats

Two strong teams locked horns at Chermside but the Bs were just a bit too good for the men from the Philippines.

Bs Darryl (7 tons, 2 140s) and Hilly (6 tons) won 4 from 4 and the rest of the team added useful wins.  I’ll single out Grant for a mention for his 2 wins and 11 tons.

Mel once again shone with 4 wins and 10 tons with Roger (8 tons, 2 140s) and Bob (2 tons, a 140) winning twice.

Devils 10 Vs Gremlins 11 Match Stats

A classic encounter at The Brook which was in the balance until the final double was pinned.  Devils were 9-6 down going into the final singles but 4 wins but them on the brink of a memorable comeback victory.  Gremlins Richard (9 tons, 2 140s) and Matt (9 tons) had other ideas winning the last two games of singles.  Both men finished the night unbeaten with four wins from 4.

Ash (who hit a 180, a 140 and a 133) and Steve were in great form for the hosts and each won all four of their games.  Steve especially impressive by picking up the trifecta with a 180, 17 dart game and 118 peg which is a great effort in only four games.  Gary also hit a 99 peg during his two singles victories.

Javelins 13 Vs Nemesis 8 Match Stats

A solid win for the Javs who got ahead in the doubles and never really looked back.  Unbeaten with three from three were Peter (3 tons, a 140) and Bryan (3 tons) with Tony winning all of his singles on the back of some power scoring on the 19’s including one maximum of 171.

Mark continues to shine for Nemesis with 4 wins from 4 and 8 tons including a 140.  Dave (2 tons and a 156) and Ben (3 tons) both won twice.

Dirk (1 ton) picked up two wins and everyone else one with Pieter hitting three tons.  For MM Lindsey (1 ton) won three from three with a troop of others winning twice.  Richard hit 4 tons and a 140 in his two wins and Graham 4 tons in his.

Jockys 9 vs ALGC 6 Match Stats

Yash the standout for ALGC with three wins and 4 tons with Nicky reliable as ever with two wins, 5 tons and 2 140s.  Despite this loss ALGC finish on third place in the league and qualify for the finals.

Cannons 9 Vs Wanderers 6  Match Stats

Agony at Chermside for the Cannons who finished on the same number of league points as both Mustangs and ALGC but ended up in 5th place on the ladder on leg difference.

Premier League Round 12 Full Ladder

Scorpions 16 vs Raptors 4 Match Stats

Raptors were unable to take a second consecutive top 3 scalp against the Scorpions.

Corey hit three 140s and Dinga one 140 each winning two of their singles games.  All four Scorpions went well with Pat the pick thanks to 6 wins and 3 140s.  Five wins each for Brian (5 140s, 112 checkout and a 16darter) and BA (4 140s and a 16 darter) and four for Glen (4 140s and an 18darter).

Stray Darters 11 Vs Red Scorpions 9 Match Stats

A real cracker at Chermside with the Reds powering to a 9-5 lead only to see the Strays win 6 on the spin to grab the 2 league points.  There was plenty of good darts on display with three 180s, a 174, two low games and two high pegs fired in.

Reds Glen (1 140 and 2 180s) and newly crowned Premier League singles champ Stephen (4 140s) won three each.  Michael fired in a 174 in reply to Banz’s opening visit of 180 in their singles game’s deciding leg – great stuff!

Frosty, making his Strays debut, won 5 from 5, hit 18 & 16 dart legs and threw 5 140s.  Of the rest Dave (5 140s) and Banz (a 140, a 180 and a 104 peg) won three times and Ciaran (a 140 and a 102 peg) twice.

Aha Gotcha 2 Vs We’re On 18 Match Stats

There wasn’t much AG could do against a classic WO team performance.  Sean (3 140s and a 108 peg) and Gabe (a 140) picked up the home side’s two victories.

The reigning champs really set the bar when it comes to consistency.  Week in week out they put in excellent team performances and this one was no different.  Horse was unbeaten and hit the trifecta with a 180, an 18 dart leg and a 114 peg.  Only 140s separating Justin (4) and Aaron (1) with both men winning 6 times, hitting a maximum and throwing a 15 darter.  Paz won four times and threw a 17 darter.  Each player chalking up a sub-18 dart leg is not something that happens every week – great darts.

Dragoffs 14 vs Import 6 Match Stats

It’s been an uneven season for Dragoffs but it’s a testament to their quality and fighting spirit that they are pulling themselves into finals contention at the sharp end of the year.  Imports certainly got them on a good day with maximums, ton plus finishes and low games peppering the home team’s side of the scoresheet.

Best value Import was Shane with two singles wins and two doubles win in partnership with Jamie.  Nev also won twice and hit a 180.

A really good night for Carlos with five wins, five 140s, two 180s, a 111 peg and an 18 darter.  Rod (13 darter, 100 peg, two 140s and a 180) and Alex (five 140s, two 180s, an 18 darter) won 4 times.  Nothing wrong with Blags’ performance either as he hit three 140s, a 180 and an even 100 checkout.

Peeping Toms  

A bye for the Toms.

A GRADE Round 13 Full Ladder

Scorpions B 15 Vs Gremlins 6 Match Stats

Gremlins were chasing a win to keep them pushing for a finals spot but they came up against a Bs side who weren’t giving anything away.  The home team were solid from 1 to 6 with everyone grabbing at least a couple of wins.  I’ll pick out Tristan (7 tons) and Grant (6 tons) for mentions as they won their three games in the singles rounds.

A good effort from Richard with a whopping 12 tons in his two wins and Matt also won twice hitting 8 tons along the way.

Pinoy Darters 10 Vs Javelins 11 Match Stats

This game had everything; a mountain of big scores, a couple of ton plus finishes and, most impressively, legs finished in the 15 to 20 dart range.

The result was in the balance right down to the last couple of games of singles but, in the end, you could look back to the doubles round to find the foundation of the Javs victory.  The usual classy performance from two of the better throwers in A Grade Mel and Roger.  Mel (4 wins) hit 8 tons, 3 140’s, a 114 checkout and a 15 darter with Roger (3 singles wins from 3) hitting 11 tons, 2 140s, a 180 and a 17 darter.  A really good effort from The Dominator with two singles wins, three tons, two 140’s and a 20 darter.

Lots of people chipping in at vital times in this victory but none better than Peter (6 tons) and Bryan (7 tons and a 108 finish) who each went undefeated with 4 wins apiece.

Widcats 4 Vs Nek Minit 17 Match Stats

Nek Minit kept themselves in second place in the ladder with a 17-4 win over the Wildcats at The Brook.  Wildcat Shaz going well with two singles wins, 3 tons and a 140 with the other circles going to Vickii (2 tons) and Kelly (1 ton).

For the visitors Ngawai (2 tons), Adam (5 tons and a 95 peg), Shaun (4 tons) and Mark (4 tons and a 140) went unbeaten with four wins from four.

Devils 12 vs Dragons 9 Match Stats

Both teams needed the points from this one, the Dragons to push themselves into finals contention and the Devils to keep themselves in the third.  The visitors grabbed a slender one game advantage during the first round of singles which they maintained with 6 to play.  But from there the Devils sprinted to the finish by picking up the last round 5 games to 1.

For the visitors it was a sterling effort by Craig, who picked up 3 wins and hit 3 tons.  Connor (7 tons and a 140), Mark (6 tons) and Cathy (1 ton) each won twice.  Strength in depth was on display from the home team with Gary (6 tons, 2 140s), Christian (8 tons), Ash (6 tons), and Rudi (5 tons).

Nemesis Bye

B GRADE Round 13 Full Ladder

Mitchelton Mustangs 4 vs Jockys 11 Match Stats

It looks like going down to the wire in B Grade with 3 teams looking to fill the two remaining places with Jocky and Tossers scrapping over the minor premiership.

The Jockys are a quality lineup and when half the team goes undefeated you know they’re really firing.  Top Jock was Ben with a belting 132 checkout and 3 tons but Derek (three tons and a 140) and Pat (two tons and a 140) also did everything that was asked of them.

A thoroughbred performance from Graham who won both his singles, hitting seven tons and a maximum.  Also in the winners circle were Richard and Lindsey, who both hit 3 tons on the night.

Wanderers 3 Vs Tossers 12 Match Stats

Tossers keep the pressure on at the top with a very good win against the Wanderers.  The three home team wins came from Dave (1 ton), Tim (1 ton) and Cristian (1 ton).  Four Tossers tasted nothing but sweet victory. With three wins each were Robert (4 tons), Patrick (one 140) and Daniel (1 ton), with Tracey having a one game cameo and hitting scores of 100 and 150 in the process.

ALGC2 Bye
