Premier League Season 2 Preliminary Finals

Scorpions 10 vs Peeping Toms 11

There wasn’t a lot to separate the top 3 over the course of the season and this closeness was reflected in this absolute belter at Chermside.  There was nothing separating the two teams after 6 games but Toms grabbed the next two and then opened up a decisive-looking lead with two more to make in 9-5.  We’ve seen many times that the Minor Premier Scorpions have got plenty of class and fight and this was the case again tonight.  They won three of the last four games of singles to get within two with the doubles to come.  Both doubles went to a decider and it was Scorpions who managed to close them both out to force the 1001 team game decider.

Tensions were high for this one, as you can imagine but it was Toms who managed to hit the winning double and launch themselves into the Grand Final.

Bobby best Scorpion with 2 doubles and 3 singles wins with a maximum as well with Kingy on great form for Toms winning a doubles and all 4 of his singles, also with a 180 on the night.  Vital contributions from the remaining Toms with Rick winning 1 doubles plus 2 singles, Sammy 2 singles and Chris one singles.

A GRADE Season 2 Preliminary Finals

Seagulls 8 vs Pinoy Darters 11

The final team to join the Scoprion B have been established by Pinoy defeating the Seagulls.  The Seagulls who led 2-1 after the doubles could not contain Pinoy who took the singles round 4-2, 4-2 before the reliable Roger and Mel sealed the win in the 3rd round to cement a place in the final.

There were 18 dart games for Nigel and Gary while Mel has a 17 dart game. Unlucky for the Seagulls who have had a good season, no doubt they will be firing next year.

B GRADE Season 2 Semi Finals

The Links 5 vs Mustangs 8

The Mustangs advanced to next game of the finals, and the Links having lost their prelim were fighting for a second chance at the big game tonight so no one was taking it lightly. Yash and Rupen got The Links off to a good start with a doubles win, and then followed up in the next round with another win from Yash and Pieter put a win against his name. The Mustangs took the opportunity to get a solid advantage kicking it off with doubles wins for dynamic duos Lindsay/Matt and Richo/Peter S. They followed up the next round with winning games 3-6 giving them a handy lead of 6 v 3 going into the last round. Yash came through for The Links and won the first came of the round, which they needed to stay in the game. The Mustangs answered back and Richo took game number 2. Game 3 between Ian and Pieter was a nail biter and went down to the wire on the third leg, and at the same time The Links took game 4 in two, so they were within eye shot of the big prize. Unfortunately to The Links Ian scored the winning double and took the game, set and match for the Mustangs, which sees them advance to the GF! The Links had a great season, and ended up as minor premiers, but it really shows the level of competition and how far B Grade has come with number 2 and 4 on the table getting a shot at the trophy. It’ll be a cracking GF!

It’s always close when these two teams play and this one was no different.  The minor premiers opened up a two game lead early on and it stayed that way until the scores reached 7-5.  At this point Strays found ways to win tight games and picked up five of the last six to take a 10-8 lead into the final round of doubles and it was Ciaran (2 singles wins, a 180) and Kylie (1 singles win) who picked up the win.  Of the other Strays Dave (a 156 peg) won two games of singles and Banz won a singles and a doubles but it was Frosty who really did the business going unbeaten with with three singles and a doubles with two bull finishes for good measure.

Toms keep their breakout season going with a good win over a very dangerous Bears side.  They picked up the opening two doubles games and these were the difference as the first four rounds of singles were halved making it 6-4 to Toms after 10.  After being so close for so long the next three rounds went 2-0 Toms, 2-0 Bears and 2-0 Toms to put them on the brink at 10-6 up.  Horse kept the visitors alive before Kingy sealed the victory in a decider in the last game of singles.

Pinoy Darters 11 vs Tossers 5 Match Stats

It was a Chermside derby between Pinoy Darters and Tosser.  The night started with a tight tussle in the doubles with Pinoy taking a slender lead 2-1.  Heading into the singles Pinoy started to gain traction and kept the pressure on to eventually take victory against the Tossers. it has been a good season for the Tossers and look forward to next year.  For Pinoy they now take on Seagulls which will be a great game of Darts. All the best!

B GRADE Season 2 Preliminary Finals

Jockys 6 vs Mustangs 8 Match Stats

Tonight saw 3 v 4 face off in a nail biting final! The well experienced Jockys had a great start and took 2 doubles wins straight up, followed by 3 wins in the first singles round. Not to be outdone, the Mustangs took a doubles win of their own and followed with 3 singles wins to see both teams face off 5 v 4 going into the last round, in favour of the Jockys. The Mustangs took the chance to catch up taking the first 2 games, and Josh fought back a win for the Jockys seeing the teams at 6 v 6 with 2 games to go. Richo stepped up for the Mustangs and took game number 4, and suddenly the Mustangs only needed one more but the Jockys had to win the last 2 to have a chance. It was the Peter v Peter match that decided the ultimate win, and wouldn’t you know it, Peter won! Mr Peter Mustang won, and the Mustangs advanced to the next round. Unfortunately this puts the Jockys out of contention for finals this year, and the Mustangs advance to play The Links in next weeks game, the winner of which who will face the Misfits in the GF. Shout out to Matt Hooper with a neat 180!

Links 3 vs Misfits 8 Match Stats

Top spot The Links fought the Misfits tonight, number 2 on the ladder and it was anyone’s game. The Misfits had a cracking start with taking the first 3 doubles wins and they are well on their way. The Links got some timely wins in the second round, but by the end of the first singles the Misfits only needed one more win to be the first to 8. The Links got in another good win in the last round, but it was a little too late as the Misfits took the last win they needed. Harsh had a ripper night with a 180, and Mike with a 120 and a hat trick. The Misfits win sees them straight through to the GF, and The Links will face the Mustangs next week.

Premier League Season 2 Round 21 Full Ladder

All the top 4 teams won this week meaning there was no change in the final league positions.  This confirms Scorpions as Premier League 2018 Season 2 Minor Premiers.  Strays finished runners up with Peeping Toms securing their first finals berth in third place with Bears in fourth.

Scorpions 14 vs Dragoffs 6  Match Stats

Plenty to play for with this one as Scorpions looked to seal the Minor Premiership and Dragoffs made a last ditch bid for a finals spot.  As it was it was Scorpions who did the business, getting ahead early and never really being threatened.

Scotty best on show tonight with 5 wins, 4 140s and a 180 with Brian next with 3 wins and 2 140s.  Two wins each for Bobby (2 140s, 2 17 darters) and Glen who hit 3 140s, a 171 and a 180.  A great effort by Richard (3 140s, 120 peg and 18 darter) who won 3 from 4 of his singles against top opposition.  Max (1 140) won twice with Matt (2 140s, a 17 darter) picking up the other win.

Raptors 9 vs Strays 11 Match Stats

This was one that Strays needed to win on the off chance that Scorpions would slip up in their final game of the season.  It turned out to be a bit of a dead rubber but it was notable for a few different things.

Corey had a good night winning all 6 of his games with 6 140s, 3 180s and a 17 darter.  He seemed to be able to find an extra gear when he needed it and finished the season on a high.  Dinga won 3 times and hit two 140s and a memorable 78 peg via treble 1, 25 and bull.  Brendan (1 140) won two of his singles and Kayla made her BNSDC debut.

For Strays there were three wins each for Banz (2 140s), Dave (1 140) and Frosty (1 140) with two wins each for Kylie (1 140) and Ciaran (1 140).  A special mention to Jack, who finished the season 2 unbeaten in the doubles: Played 34, Won 34.  A fantastic achievement!

Motley Mustangs 6 vs Peeping Toms 14 Match Stats

Toms keep their momentum going with a good win against a Mustangs side well capable of big scores and high finishes.

The home team spread the wins around with two each for Bruce (3 140s) and Michael.  Glen (2 140s, a 180), Willy (1 140) and Stevie (1 140) all won once.  Ross was unstoppable again tonight with 6 wins from 6 without the loss of a leg in either singles or doubles.  He smashed in 6 140s, a 118 peg and games of 17 and 18 darts.  Five wins apiece for Kingy (4 140s & a 16 darter) and Sam (2 140s) with Chris picking up 1 win on his return to the lineup.

Imports 6 vs Bears 14 Match Stats

Bears confirm their place in the top 4 with a solid win over Imports.

Ivesy the pick for the visitors with 5 wins, 7 140s, a 103 peg and low games of 16 and 17 darts.  Excellent stuff!  Four wins each foe Pas (2 140s, a 180 and a 14 darter) and Horse (a 140 and a 15 darter) with three for Shaz (2 140s and an 18 darter).  Pretty rare for all players to record a low game on the same night so well played all you Bears.

Shane back in the Imports lineup and leading the way with 3 wins and 2 140s.  Two wins each for James (3 140s) and Jamil, who keeps on getting better each week, adding a 16 darter this time around to go with 2 140s and his usual 180.

Gremlins 8 v Nek Minit 13 Match Stats

I think Terry forgot the memo about friendly games, he won all his singles 2 zip while Steve with 2 wins managed a 111 high peg.

Pinoy Darters v The Marvels

Forfeit by the Marvels.

Javelins 4 v Tossers 17 Match Stats

Wanderers 2 v Misfits 13 Match Stats

Last game of the season and the Misfits made sure to make it a ripper to show why they are in second place on the ladder. Unfortunate night for the Wanderers, but still a great game had by all and a bit of fun on the last night of the regular season. Shout out to Snow and Elyse for taking the two Wanderers wins on the night. The Misfits had a blitzer, with great performances and ton plus scores to Phil (6), Mark (5), Mike (4) and Chris (3). Great season to both teams and good luck Misfits on your finals run.

Jockys 9 v Mustangs 6 Match Stats

It was a tight game and fought hard into the third round. Jockys got off to a good start and were only up one game going into the last round. The Mustangs had some timely wins but it wasn’t enough to see them take the 2 points though. An end result of 9  v 6 but the Mustangs fought all the way. Great performances by Matt (3 wins, 3 ton plus scores), Newty (3 wins, 2 x 140s, 3 T’s), and Richo (3 wins, 3 T’s and a 103). We’ll see these 2 teams appear in the finals which will surely keep up the rivalry and be hotly contested.

The Links 8 v Dragons 7 Match Stats

This was the match of the night! Top and bottom of the ladder faced off in a nail biting finish. Only pipped at the post by one game, The Links took the 2 points and the minor premiership for the season, seeing them go into the finals in top place. We had two hat tricks on the night from both sides – Pieter and Gila. Top scoring performances from Yash and Gila with 4 ton plus scores. The win for the Links sees them through to the finals, and unfortunately it’s the end season for the Dragons. We look forward to seeing how the Links progress through the next rounds.

Motley Mustangs 7 v Dragoffs 13 Match Stats

This win, coupled with the result above, puts Dragoffs on the same number of points as Bears with only 2 legs keeping them in 5th spot on the ladder.  It’s hard to believe there’s such a tiny margin with 400 legs played to this point in the season and everything to play for going in the final round.

A good night for Strays at Chermside against an Imports side that kept going to the last dart.  None better than Dave who won 6 from 6 hitting 6 140s, a 180 and a magnificent 12 darter capped off with a 138 peg.  Five wins each for Ciaran (4 140s, a 180), Banz (4 140s) and Frosty (1 140s).

A GRADE Season 2 Round 16 Full Ladder

Pinoy Darters v Scorpions  Match Stats

The Pinoy Darters are currently 2 points behind the Scorpions on the ladder, a win tonight would have seen them on level pegs in terms of points.  Going in to the last round it was a 8-7 lead to Pinoy, but the Scorpions managed to keep secure  5 legs in the final round and take the 2 points of offer.

Mention for Edgar with 16 tons and 18 dart game and Darryl for his 106 high peg.

The Dragons got off to a great start with 2 doubles wins and another 2 singles wins to put them at level pegging with the Jockys going into the third round. It was here when the Jockys really revved up their engines taking 4 of the 5 games in the last round.

Premier League Season 2 Round 18 Full Ladder

Scorpions 14 vs Motley Mustangs 6 Match Stats

This was never going to be easy for Mustangs as it’s fair to say Scorpions are top of the table for reason.   They gave it a good go though and we’re holding together at 3-all only for Scorpions to peel off 6 straight and effectively end it as a contest.

Willy (2 140s) picked up 3 wins with Mick (a 140 & a 180) and Stevie winning twice.  BA (3 140s, a 180) best for Scorpions with 5 wins.  Brian (3 140s and an 18 darter) and Glen (3 140s) won 4 times each and Scotty (2 140s and a 17 darter) three times.  Scotty does appear to have missed the team meeting before the start as he was the only Scorpion not to hit a 100 peg on the night.

Dragoffs 6 vs Strays 14 Match Stats

Strays a bit too strong and a bit too consistent for Dragoffs at Chermside with the scoreline padded by visitors taking 9 of the 14 games that went to a deciding leg.

Highlights from this one have to Max piling in 5 140s in 2 legs, before finishing with 10, a 180 and a 17 darter, Frosty hitting a 144 checkout with treble 18, treble 18, double 180 and Kylie opening the doubles with clean pegs of 80 and 100.

Unbeaten on the night were Dave (5 140s and a 180) and Frosty (2 140s and that 144 peg) who went 5 for 5.  For Dragoffs Damo (3 140s) won 2 singles and a doubles with Max, who also picked up a singles win with that onslaught of power scoring.  Richard picked up the other circle.

Bears 9 vs Peeping Toms 11 Match Stats

This one promised to be the PL tie of the round on paper, and so it proved with this being in the balance all evening.  It was dead level at the halfway stage when Bears grabbed the two wins to open up a lead.  Raptors hit straight back before making the decisive move in the last two games of singles to get to 10-8.  Bears kept it alive but Ross and Kingy took the final game of doubles in the deciding leg.

Horse was unstoppable with six from six, 5 140s, 2 180s and low games of 16 & 18 darts.  Azza picked up three wins with one each for Paz (2 140s) and Shaz, who hit a 120 peg.  Consistency the key for Toms with four wins each for Kingy (4 140s, a 180 and a 110 peg), Rosco (3 140s and a 16 darter) and  Rick.

Imports 2 vs Raptors 18 Match Stats

Raptors rampant in this one with an elite level numbers from by Corey.  This six-from-six show will go down as one of Norths best individual nights with 9 140s, 2 180s, pegs of 136 & 106, and low games of 15, 16 and 18 darts.  Great stuff!  Blades also won all his games hitting 4 140s and a 124 peg.  Five wins apiece for Brendan (1 140) and Dinga rounding of the night.

The home team’s wins came from Daz, who hit a 140 and a 100 peg and Shane who threw 3 140s and an 18 darter while Jamil hit a 180.

It was not about the score line but welcome two players to next years competition.  Jim (Nek Minit) and Phil (Cannons) had a feel of what Wednesday night is all about and their display on Wednesday was something to look forward to next year with Phil (Cannons) picking up a couple of wins and 10 tons.  Jim (Nek Minit) hit 180, 9 tons and a couple of win also. Shaun also picked up 4 wins and 10 tons on the night.

Seagulls 12 vs Scorpions B 9 Match Stats

The top of the table clash at Wantima between Seagulls and Scorpions was always going to be close. It was the Seagulls who demonstrated their class to move into overdrive to be at the head of the table after round 15. Scorpions held a slender lead after the doubles and first round of singles but the Seagulls pulled away in the last two rounds.

It was maximums for Nigel, Gary, Grant and John.

Gremlins 9 vs Tossers 12 Match Stats

A middle of the table clash that will give the winning team a 2 point lead, was on offer for both teams as they head to the pointy end of the season. The Tossers ahead 6-3 after the first round of singles was a good start and kept them on the front foot throughout the night. For Gremlins, Ian picked up 3 wins and 6 tons, while Pat picked up 4 wins and 8 tons.  Well done to Cathy for her 114 high peg.

Jockys 7 v The Links 8 Match Stats

It was neck and neck between number 1 and 3 tonight. The Jockys were in the lead going into the last round at 5 v 4, and started off with a win to put them on the right foot in the last round, but The Links fought back, winning the next 3 games in the round. The next win went the way of the Jockys and we were at 7 v 7, with it all coming down to the last game which just to make it interesting went down to the 3rd leg. Tonight it went The Links way and they took the 2 points but valiant effort by the Jockys and it went right down to the wire. There were 4 hat tricks tonight – Matt, Newty, Rupen and Yash. Newty worked his magic and gave us a 180 plus 2 140s and 3 tonnes. Five tonne plus scores to Nicky, 4 to Josh and 3 to Harsh. The win keeps The Links in top place with the minor premiership quickly looming and the Jockys stay at number 3.

Misfits 6 v Mustangs 9 Match Stats

The Mustangs got off to a cracking start with 3 doubles wins and put the Misfits on the back foot. They bounced back quickly and took 3 wins in the singles round, but needed at least 5 wins in the last round to take the game.

The third round started at 5 v 4 in favour of the Wanderers and the Dragons got a quick couple of wins and all of a sudden it was 7 v 7 going into the last round, to the last leg. The Wanderers were too strong on this occasion. Shout out to some top performances: Lance with 3 wins, 4 tonnes and a 120, Dave H with 3 tonnes and a win, Dave W with 3 tonnes and 3 wins, and Snow with 2 wins. Great competition between these two!
