Premier League Round 5 Full Ladder

Scorpions 12 vs Motley Mustangs 8 Match Stats

The final scoreline makes this look a bit closer than it actually was for most of the night. The Scorps started quickly and scuttled out to a 7-1 lead early on and got to a match winning advantage with the Motleys back on 4 games.  The visitors should definitely gain confidence from their late surge of 4 games from 5 against their very strong opponents.

The Motleys wins were spread around with Glen (4 140s), Michael (2 140sand a 102 peg), Willy (a 140, a 180 and a 100 peg) and Stephen (2 140s and a 100 peg) all picking up two.

Birthday boy Brian, who tells me he was celebrating his 72nd, continues to show that age is no barrier when you’re good enough by picking up 5 wins on the night.  Happy birthday mate!  Scotty also won 5 times and continued to score heavily with 6 140s and 114 peg as well.  Notable stuff also from Glen hit 3 140s, a 108 peg and a 17 darter.

We’re On 13 vs Peeping Toms 7 Match Stats

We’re On too strong for the Toms despite new signing Justin (2 wins, 4 140s) making a welcome return to the Norths Premier League.  But it was Ross who led the Toms’ win count with 3 while Tim hit a 120 peg.

Horse untouchable for WO with 6 wins on the night while Aaron M (4 wins and a 17 darter) continued to smash the treble 20 with a monstrous 9 140s and two 180s.  Pas the other 4 time winner with 3 140s and a 128 peg.

Dragoffs 5 vs Strays 15 Match Stats

A second Chermside derby for Strays and their unbeaten start to the season is maintained with a solid win over last year’s runners up.

Ciaran’s family were on hand to watch him power to 6 wins from 6 with the loss of only one leg, in the doubles no less.  This was his best performance of the season with 4 140s and low games of 15 and 18 darts.  Dave (5 140s) won 5 times and Frosty showed a hint of what he’s capable of with 4 wins, 4 140s, 2 180s and low games of 14 and 16 darts.  Banz hit a 180.

Also notable in this game was how often the darting gods dangled the carrot of big finishes only to lash out with the stick of missed doubles.  Max missed into the 25 on a 170 and double 16 for a 147, Dave missed double 16 for a 152, Banz missed double 16 for a 146 and Jack hurting the most with misses on double 10 for a 140, and shots also at 143 and 133.

Imports 9 vs Raptors 11 Match Stats

This one was neck and neck all the way to 8-all before Raptors won the last two games of singles to open a 10-8 lead with the doubles to come.  Daral (4 wins, 2 140s) and Mark (4 wins, 3 140s and a 180) got them over the line for the first win of the season.  Corey won all 4 of his singles and hit 3 140s.

For Imports Shane leading the way with three wins, a 140 and a 15 darter with Nev close behind with 3 circles.

A GRADE Round 5 Full Ladder

Nemesis 9 v Tossers 12 Match Stats

It was a spirited battle between the Tossers and Nemesis with some great darts thrown. It was going to be a team effort to take the 2 points with the score being 8-7 to the Tosser going into the last round. While both teams battled it out, it was Rob’s 10 tons, 4 wins, Paddy 9 tons and 3 wins and Daryl 7 tons and 3 wins that helped seal the deal for the Tossers.

For Nemesis, Brendan notched up 3 wins, Neal banged in a 140 and 7 tons while Ben, Ian (5tons) and Don picked up 2 wins each.

Wildcats 6 v Seagulls 15 Match Stats

The Seagulls protected their home fort with a commanding triumph over the Wildcats in the local Brook Derby.

Gary was red hot on the oche as he blazed past all those in his path claiming 4 wins and putting on a show with his 9 tons for the night. Rudi (8tons) high pegged 100 with a double seagull. Drew (10 tons) and Steve (6tons) each picked up 3 wins. Nigel also knocked in 9 tons.

There was perfection on the other side with a stable performance by Kylie who also claimed 4 wins and 10 tons for the night.

 Dragons 7 v Nek Minit 14 Match Stats
At a crowded house at Chermside the local derby was about to begin between the Dragons and Nek Minit. It was an impressive win for Nek Minit with Danny stepping up to the oche to record his first BNSDC maximum he also backed it up with 3 wins. Mark picked up 4 wins against Dave C who he played all night.  Daz also picked up 4 wins, Hilton and Ben scored 7 tons each and 2 wins.

Cathy played well taking all her singles matches into deciders and picked up 5tons and a win. Gav, Rowey and Connor won 2 games each.

Scorpions “B” 16 v Javelins 5  Match Stats

The Scorpions with a comfortable win remain unbeaten to stay at the top of the A grade ladder.

It was a one-sided affair where the Scorpions won the doubles and dominated the rest of the evening. Shaun (7tons), Joe (5tons), Darryl (4tons, 140), Tristian (9tons, 140) and Grant (10tons, 2×140) each won 4 games. Grant playing like a top seed also high pegged 105.

For Javelins, it was a quiet night, but Pete managed to notch up 3 wins. I’m sure they will bounce back.

Pinoy Darters 14 v Gremlins 7 Match Stats

It ended up one-sided showpiece after round 1 between the Pinoy Darts and Gremlins. With a slow start in the doubles for Pinoy Darters they were able to overcome this hurdle and come away with the 2 points.  Roger with his consistent ton tally managed 14 and 3 wins. Mel, Dom and Edgar all notched up 3 wins each as well.

Gremlins were asked to work significantly harder to secure any wins. Jack contributed to his ton tally with 2x140s and 2×100, he is certainly an upcoming young talent.  Steve picked up a couple of wins and 6 tons.

B GRADE Round 5 Full Ladder

Cannons 8 v The Links 7 Match Stats

What a hotly contested night this game was! It all came down to the last game of the night, where Neil’s win sealed the victory for the Cannons but The Links were bringing the fight all night. Cannons got off to a good start taking 2 wins in the first round, but The Links fought back in the first round of singles to be within striking distance of the win. The third round was fought hard with only one game going down in 2 legs, so we know The Links weren’t going down without a fight. Great to see such a fire cracker of a game!

Special mentions to Alan and Tom taking all 3 wins on the night. Shout out to high scores of the night Jason (140), Gary (140, 160), Yash (135) and Nicky (135).

Can’t wait to see this match up again later in the season.

Mitchelton Mustangs 4 v Jockeys 11  Match Stats 

And the Jockeys came back in fine form tonight! The Mustangs would come flying out the gate, with 2 doubles wins but the Jockeys all but sealed their victory taking all matches in the 2nd round. Special mention to Patrick with a fiery 116 peg, who’s now taken the lead for highest peg in B Grade year to date!

Special mention to Richard with a 180 on the night, and a further 3 T+ scores to back it up, and Lindsey for his solid 4 tonnes for the night. Unfortunately the Jockeys were just too strong, coming home strong in the third round winning 11 matches overall to the Mustangs 4. Well done lads!

Premier League Round 4 Full Ladder

Club Chermside was a Premier League Thunderdome where 4 unbeaten teams entered and time would tell how many would leave with their records intact.  But first…

Raptors 7 vs Motley Mustangs 13 Match Stats

These two teams were chasing their first win of 2018 and it was the visitors who grabbed the two points in large part thanks to winning the first two rounds of singles 6 games to 2.   They actually pushed this 4 game lead to a 6 game victory and were good value for the win.

Stephen is finding his form again after time abroad without his darts, picking up 4 from 4 in singles and 1 in the doubles for 5 wins on the night.  He hit 4 140s, a 180 and nice 126 checkout.  Glen, who hit a 174, and Willy (2 140s) each picked up 4 wins in the Mustangs best performance of the season.

Corey shining as always with 5 wins and 4 140s and strong support for Mark who won three times and hit 3 140s and a 107 peg.

Imports 12 vs Peeping Toms 8 Match Stats

Imports were too strong for the Toms despite the visiting skipper’s heroics.  No 140+ scores for Ross but that didn’t stop him winning 6 from 6 and hitting a 126 peg and a 17 darter.  Sam also in the winner’s circle 3 times with 2 140s.

A really solid team effort for Imports:
Nev: 4 wins and 2 140s
Matt: 4 wins, 1 140 and a 120 peg
James: 3 wins
Shane: 3 wins, 2 140s and a 180

Dragoffs 5 vs We’re On 15 Match Stats

The doubles were shared early on but this was as close as Dragoffs got as We’re On peeled off the first 9 games of singles to effectively end the contest and the home side’s unbeaten start to the season.

Carlos leading the way for Dragoffs with 3 wins, 3 140s and a 180 with Max picking up 2 wins on his return to the comp.  Blags won once and delighted the home fans with a 15 darter and an even 100 peg.

Aaron M in sparkling form with 6 wins from 6, 6 140s, a 180 and hatful of 20 darters.  John also shining with 5 wins, a 104 peg and low games of 16 and 18 darts.  Three wins each for Pas (3 140s) and Aaron W (5 140s).

Strays 10 vs Scorpions 10 Match Stats

Strays were chasing their first ever win against Scorpions and it looked on the cards at various points throughout the evening.  A 2-0 Strays lead in the doubles pushed out to 8-4 at one stage but a strong Scorpions line up found wins at the back end to keep themselves in the hunt.  Even so Strays held a two game advantage with the doubles to come but they were hauled level in two deciding leg thrillers which could have gone either way.  This draw means there are still three unbeaten teams in the competition at this early stage.

Two players from each side picked up four wins.  Strays Dave (2 140s and an 18 darter) and Banz (3 140s and a 180) and Scorps Scotty (3 140s, a 180 and a 17 darter) and Pat (2 140s).  Ciaran won 3 times with 3 140s and a 180 while Glen hit a 17 darter amongst his 2 wins.

A GRADE Round 4 Full Ladder

Scorpions “B” 13 v Gremlins 8 Match Stats

Scorpions B maintaining their 100% record move ahead on the ladder with a victory over the home team, Gremlins.  The continual good form from Tristan’s scoring a maximum 180, 2×140 and 3 wins contributed as did Grant 4 wins and Darryl and el Presidente with 3 wins each, to put the game beyond doubt.
Terry and Steve from Gremlins picked up 3 wins for the night, but it was the high pegging from Joe – 123 and Steve – 135 that brought entertaining action.

Nek Minit 14 v Javelins 7 Match Stats

This was a closer game than the results suggest.  Nek Minit finding some form secured a win for the night. Ben played well all night and would be happy with his 4 wins and 9 tons. Good performance from Mark (3 wins) hitting a 18 dart leg and Danny (3 wins) a 19 dart leg.
For Javelins, Pete had a solid game with 3 wins 6 tons and Bryan who knocked in a 119 check out.
Seagulls 11 v Pinoy Darters 10 Match Stats
The Seagulls are heading in the right direction with an exciting game from beginning to end and could have gone either way. Sitting on equal wins at the top of the ladder, the Seagulls knew this was not going to be an easy task. Going 2-1 up in the doubles, the next 3 rounds were 3-3, 3-3 and 3-3, which in the end that 1 point made the difference. Gary with a stable performance was in fine form for his team with 4 wins and 9 tons. Drew’s 4×140 and 4×100 contributed to his ton tally as did Steve 7 tons, 140 and Christian 8 tons.
It was open war on the triple 20 for Pinoy Darters with Mel (3 wins) knocking in 14 and Roger (3 wins) 11. Leo helped notch up 3 wins for his team. Pinoy Darters pushed the Seagulls all the way and made for an entertaining evening.

Nemesis 13 v Dragons 8  Match Stats

Nemesis, on home soil, have notched up their first win for the season against the Dragons. Leading 9-6 going into the last round it was going to be tough ask of the Dragons to come back, but to their credit the Dragons, captained by Cathy, fought back to take the next 2 games with the score at 9-8 before Nemesis extended their lead to eventually take the win.
It was Ian who picked up the pace for Nemesis with a maximum 180, 105 high peg and a 18 dart leg. Chipping in also was Ben and Brendan both winning 4 from 4.
For Dragons it was 3 from 3 for Gav and Connor helped his ton tally with 7 tons and a 140.

Tossers 11 v Wildcats 10 Match Stats

A great game here went right to the wire before giving a result in a match that could have gone either way. Wildcats kicked off the first round with a 2-1 lead then 4-5 but it was the Tossers who bounced back to go one up in the next round. Rob had a standard night producing 3 wins, 8 tons and 100 high peg. Daniel hit 140 and 8 tons, not to forget Kiana smashing a 140 in for good measures.
For the Wildcats, Kylie won 4 out of 4 and Vickii, 3 wins and 7 tons, but it was Shaz that knocked it out of the ball park with her 180 maximum. It was a close game again it could have gone either way.  The Wildcats will be out on the prowl looking for that first win.

B GRADE Round 4 Full Ladder

Cannons v Jockys (forfeit) Match Stats

Unfortunately the Jockys had to forfeit this match.  (We have received the scoresheet from Cannons now;  thanks Neil.)

Mitchelton Mustangs 12 v Wanderers 3  Match Stats 

The Mustangs had a cracking night against the Wanderers and had the evening won by the end of the second round, but the score sheet doesn’t reflect how tight the matches were on the night, with majority of games going to 3.

Snow and Dave got the Wanderers off to a solid start taking their doubles win, but the rest of the round would go to the Mustangs. They came out firing in the second round, taking every single win but all matches went to three. Richo and Lindsey had stellar performances scoring 5 tonnes  each and Lindsey scoring a classy 86 peg. The Wanderers made sure to take a couple of wins in the last round, thanks to Christian and Lance but the Mustangs were too good on the night. Special mention to the 140 earners on the night – Lindsey, Matt, and Lance.

Premier League Round 2 Full Ladder

We’re On 16 vs Motley Mustangs 4 Match Stats

The bragging rights in the Mitchy FC local derby going to the favourites by a score of 16 to 4.

Strong work all night from Pas (4 140s) and Horse (6 140s) who both won 6 from 6 with Aaron M not far behind with 5 wins (3 singles, 2 doubles) and 5 140s, a 180 and 2 17 darters to his name.  Aaron W picked up 3 wins (a singles and 2 doubles) but hit 4 140s, a 180 and an 18 darter along the way.

Glen best for the Motleys with 2 singles wins, and singles circles also for Stephen (2 140s) and Michael (2 140s).  Rico hit a 104 on his PL debut while filling in for the short-handed Mustangs.  Question: Can Mustangs be short-handed if they don’t have hands…?

Scorpions 13 vs Raptors 7 Match Stats

When the Scorpions throw well they are hard to beat and the scoresheet from this one shows they were on pretty good form with 18 140s, 3 180s, 3 low games and 2 high pegs between them.

This game was somewhat in the balance when the Scorps led 6-4 at the halfway stage but they closed out 3 of the next 4 games in deciding legs to take the two league points.  Corey once again showing he’s a match for anyone in this comp with 5 wins, 4 140s, a 108 peg and an 18 darter while both Daral (2 140s) and Mark (a 140 and a 180) continue to find their fit in PL with 2 wins each.

All Scorps worth of a mention I reckon:
Pat: 4 wins and 6 140s
Brian: 3 wins, a 180, a 116 peg and an 18 darter
Glen: 3 wins, 3 140s and a 180
BA: 3 wins, 2 140s and a 180
Scotty: 2 wins and 7 140s

Dragoffs 11 vs Imports 9 Match Stats

The PL game of the round at Chermside.  After taking a 2-0 lead from the doubles the next six games were shared giving the home team a 5-3 lead.  Imports grabbed the next to games to level it up and from there it went back and forth.  A Dragoffs 7-5 lead became 7-all, then 8-all and, with only the doubles to play, 9-all.  Carlos and Gabe ensured the home team would continue the season undefeated before Blags and Corey took the last circle in the deciding leg to end and absolute thriller.

Lovely to see Carlos throwing more like he can do once again.  He lead the home team with 5 wins and 3 140s with Gabe picking up 4 wins and 2 140s.  Skipper Blags (1 140) and Corey both won 3 times with Corey hitting an as-good-as-a-maximum 174 and a 140.

Richard was the Imports king on the night with 4 wins with 2 each for Shane, who hit 2 140s and Matt, who hit a 140 and an excellent 153 peg.

Peeping Toms 5 Vs Strays 15 Match Stats

One sided at Wantima in a game that was played in excellent spirits throughout.

An off night by his standards for Ross (2 singles wins, 1 doubles win, 4 140s and a 100 peg), with wins also for Sam (1 singles, 1 doubles) and Tim (1 singles).  Sam managed a one leg trifecta by opening with a 180, closing with a 116 checkout and having 4 walks in between for an 18 darter.  Tim hit 1 140 and maybe as many as two tons, possibly three.

Topping things for the visitors with 3 singles and 2 doubles wins each were Dave, who hit 3 140s, a 180 and high pegs of 120 and 100 with single 20, Tops, Tops; and Frosty who hit 4 140s.  Ciaran (3 140s) and Banz (4 140s and a 16 darter) won three singles and one doubles.

A quick note to the score keepers out there.  While this entry for Chris B in the 140s column indicates that there were 5 hit we are unable to pay them unless recorded individually.

A GRADE Round 2 Full Ladder

Gremlins 7 vs Tossers 14 Match Stats

It was a fine performance by the whole Tossers team but notably Daniel (4 wins, 5 tons), Tracy (3 wins, 3 tons and 140) Rob (10 tons and 2 140s, 3 wins) and Paddy (8 tons and 140). It started with a bang for Tossers being 7-2 up after round 2.

It was a tough night for the Gremlins but with steady captaincy of Terry (6 tons) and Ian picking up 2 wins each still made the Tossers work for their win.

Nemesis 10 vs Seagulls 11  Match Stats

It was local derby at the Brook and true to form it was a cracker of a match. The Seagulls started off by winning all doubles which gave them a handy lead, but also Gary’s (10 tons, 4 wins) 99 peg and 18 dart leg contributed. The tons were flowing for Christian (13 tons) and Steve (4 tons 2×140).

Round 2 saw Nemesis pick up 4 legs which put them 1 point behind, and that where it stayed for the rest of the nigh, 1 point behind. For Nemesis, Brendan picked up 3 wins, 94 peg with 2 darts and Neil who also had a 18 dart leg.

The platform has been laid for the next local derby.

Nek Minit 9 vs Scorpions “B” 12 Match Stats

The reigning champs continue their form coming back at the last round to take the snatch the win from NM.  The Scorpion’s played well with 3 wins each for Grant (7 tons and 140), Tristian (9 tons) and Joe (3 tons and one hundred and eighty!), Shaun L also chipped in with 1 win, 8 tons and 105 peg. Darryl (4 tons and 140) had a rough night and was last being sold to NM.

There were good games on the night and special mention Ben (2 tons and 140) vs Grant and Shaun vs Shaun with Shaun winning, but for NM it was the big fella Mark (4 tons and 2 140) who led the team and Shaun helping with 3 wins.

Javelins 10 vs Pinoy Darters 11  Match Stats

This was always going to be a good battle between 2 tough teams. It was a game that could have really gone either way. It was about composure when it mattered and get that win. The lead change all night and in the end it came down to the last round.

The ton machines continue with Roger having a consistent night (2 wins,15 tons, 140 and one hundred and eighty) and Mel (11 tons, 2 wins),

For Javelins Bryan (4 tons and 140) Pete, Tony and Hugh who picked up 2 wins each. Both teams will continue to build on the season and pushing towards the finals later in the season.

Wildcats 9 vs Dragons 12 Match Stats

Nikki was on fire and producing some of her best darts with 4 wins, 3 tons and a 91 peg, this certainly laid the foundation for the Wildcats but unfortunately it wasn’t enough as it was the Dragons who put the fire into the dragon after being down 3-6 after round 2.

It was that momentum that the Dragons needed with Connor (5 tons, 140, 3 wins) and Dave (3 wins), Gav (2 wins) and Mark (2 wins) sealing the victory.

For Wildcats it was good to see Jennifer score a win and 5 tons.

B GRADE Round 2 Full Ladder

Wanderers 3 vs Cannons 12  Match Stats

Well it was fair to say that the Wanderers copped a walloping in this one with a full strength Cannons back in league. Wanderers didn’t get a leg up until the 3rd round but Tim, Dave and Christian made sure the Wanderers didn’t get a pantsing. Special mention to Dave scoring 4 tons on the evening.

The Cannons had a cracking night and West Mitchie was the place to be for 180s in this round. Special mention to Jason Powell scoring a 180 on the night down one end and Gary Moore with a solid 140. Pretty sure most of the north side heard that celebration! Great job to the Cannons, showing they’ll be a force to be reckoned with this season.

Jockys 7 vs The Links 8  Match Stats 

The celebration continued down the other end at West Mitchie in this round. The Links lads were on fire with both Nicky and Aden scoring 180s in their games. It was great to hear the excitement across the venue – well done guys!

This match was a fight down to the last dart. Well done to the Jockys who put up a strong fight, and special mention to Derek (3 wins, 2 tons and a 125), and Ian (2 wins, 5 tons and a 140). Congrats to The Links who held on til the end, with Nicky providing us with his normal stellar performance (7 tons including 180 and 120). The match came down to the last game of the night – Clive and Nicky, fortunately for The Links they finished strong but great effort to the Jockys making them work for it!

Premier League Round 2 Full Ladder

We’re On 16 vs Raptors 4 Match Stats

It’s unusual for the people of Oodnadatta, South Australia to take an interest in BNSDC fixtures but as “Hottest Place in Australia” record holders since 1960 they were keeping a close eye on this one.  Luckily for them the temperature in the scorer’s corner didn’t ever to their record of 50.7c although it got close a few times.

On to the game…. This one started out pretty close with Raptors taking four of the first eight games of singles after losing both of the opening doubles. From there it was one way traffic as WO turned a 6-4 lead into a 16-4 win.

Aaron M putting in a first class performance with 6 wins with 6 140s, 2 180s and low games of 16 and 14 darts. Five wins on the night for Aaron W (4 140s and a 103 peg) and Horse (4 140s and an 18 darter).

Corey leading Raptor with 2 wins, 5 140s and a 106 with peg with wins each for Dinga, who hit a 105 peg, and Mark who had an 18 darter.

Motley Mustangs 2 vs Strays 18 Match Stats

In the other side of the hotbox Motley Mustangs hosted Strays in what turned out to be a one-sided affair. Picking up the two wins for the Motleys were Steve who hit 2 140s and a 180 and Glen who knocked in 5 140s and a 105 peg.

Six from six for Dave (5 140s) and Banz (a maximum) with 5 each for Ciaran (2 140s) and Frosty (5 140s).

Imports 7 Vs Scorpions 13 Match Stats

The Scorpions flew out to a 7-1 lead but Imports gave themselves a chance by winning four of the next five to get back to 8-5.  That was a close as they were able to get and Scorpions closed out the win in the last round of singles.

Back in the Imports lineup was Shane, leading the way with 3 wins and two 140s with two wins each for Matt (3 140s) and Richard (2 140s and a 180).

The champs have quality from top to bottom and all four of the team picked up 4 wins each. Line honours going to Scotty with 5 140s and an xx darter with Brian also hitting 5 140s and BA knocking in a 160 peg.

Dragoffs 11 vs Peeping Toms 9 Match Stats

The Toms had last year’s runners up on the ropes and were 6-3 up just before the halfway stage before the home team dug in and seven of the next eight to secure at least a point.  The last round of singles went to the visitors to make it 10-8 with the doubles to come but Carlos and Gabe closed the match out with a 2-0 win.

Carlos really firing up with the heaviest scoring night of the PL season with 8 140s and 2 180s amongst his 4 wins. Gabe also picked up 4 wins hitting 4 140s, a xx peg and a 15 darter. The other two Dragoffs also contributed key wins in this close match, Corey with 3 circles and Blags with 2.

For the Toms it was that man Ross leading the way with 4 wins and 3 140s but a big night for Sam as he also picked up 4 wins with a couple of 140s.

A GRADE Round 2 Full Ladder

Javelins 11 v Gremlins 10 Match Stats

The Javelins chalked up a win against the Tossers who clearly came spoiling for a fight. And they found one. Patrick from the Tossers decided to spray down the battlefield with 15 tons and ton pluses and threw in a 17 dart game for good measure. And Rob laying down a field of fire himself with 8 clean tons and dropped a bomb halfway through with a 180 and snatching three wins of his own.

But the Javelins who were not taking that stuff lying down were shooting back with some epic spears of their own most notably Peter who felt the need to establish some dominance by shooting a 102 peg to snatch a victory and Max who laid down some serious cover fire with 7 tons and two wins to add to the collection of victories over the night with the Javelins keeping their cool and loading up their wins everyone did their part and chalked up another one. Quite a skirmish indeed, well done Javelins!

Scorpions “B” 20 v Nemesis 1 Match Stats

The 4 Nems unable to perform a miracle against a full-strength Scorpions “B” side featuring new recruit Ivesy who won four from four and hit 11 tons.  Unbeaten also were Hilly (5 tons), Tristan (7 tons), Grant (4 tons, a 15 darter) and Darryl (9 tons).  Julie (4 tons) picked up the visitor’s only circle but Alena knocked in 4 tons as well.

Seagulls 15 v Dragons 6 Match Stats

These two teams were ton machines! The Seagulls came out strong taking all games in the doubles rounds. No doubt being helped by Christian’s 11 tons, Rudi’s 13 and Gary’s 10 over the course of the night.

Dragons kept the lads in check though and Ben, Cathy and Chadders took their games in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to keep in the game but by the end of the 3rd round the Seagulls had won the night. Special mention to Mark L scoring a 174 amongst his tons, and 140’s going to the ladies Paula and Cathy. Connor had a solid night with 8 tons and one game in 2 legs.

On the Seagulls side special mention to Christian’s 17 dart game – well done, and both Gary and each completed a 90 peg.

Pinoy Darters 11 v Wildcats 10  Match Stats

This match looked like a fight to the last dart. Pinoy Darters took the night but not without a solid effort from the Wildcat ladies answering them back. The ladies were in the lead right until the middle of the 3rd round until Caleb took a win late in the 3rd round and then the Pinoy Darters brought it home.

Special mention to Nikki taking a win for all her games on the night, and Mel and Dom for taking all of their games. Vikki had a great scoring night notching 8 tonnes up on her belt, with Kylie and Nikki not far behind. Mel had an 18 dart game on the night which was surely helped by his 8 tons scored on the night.

Nek Minit 16 vs Gremlins 5  Match Stats

Nek Minit had a great night yet again with a solid 16 to 5 win against the Gremlins. Nek Minit took an early lead in the night with their doubles win, but Jack made sure to secure one game of the round to keep in the game.

Nek Minit proved too strong in their singles rounds, taking 5, 4 and 5 games in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th round respectively. The Gremlin’s Joe, Peter and Steve all took their singles games in 2 legs but it wasn’t enough to take the win.

Special mention to Mark and Ngawai both scoring 180s on the night, and a 156 to Alex from the Gremlins.

B GRADE Round 2 Full Ladder

Cannons 9 v Mustangs 6

First game back for the Cannons for 2018 and it was great to have them back. Even though the lads didn’t have a full strength team, they played strong and made sure to take a few legs off the Mustangs to make them work for it.

Mustangs took the night with a 9 to 6 win but the 4 Cannons almost out-tonne the Mustangs on the night. Gary had a great night with 4 tonnes – 2 solid 100’s, a 116 and 119. As well, Tom, Scotty and Neil all scored 3 tonnes on the night.

Richard had a strong scoring night putting 6 tonnes under his belt, scoring a 140 and 14 during his night.

Mustangs took the night on this occasion, but will be great to see a full strength Cannons match the Mustangs later during the season.

The Links 9 v Wanderers 6

A hot and humid night proved a decent challenge for these two teams. This match was tight right up until the middle of the last round.

Dave and Lance had a great game against Ben and Antoinette, but took the win to put the Wanderers up a game. This was answered back by The Links, with father and son Pieter and Nicky pegging their doubles win to put The Links in the lead.

Second round was even – 3 games to The Links and 3 to the Wanderers. No one was going down without a solid fight. Lance took his first leg in two, he wasn’t mucking around, and Snow and Tim came through to keep the Wanderers in the fight. Yash and Nicky took their games in two also, and it brought the night down to the final round.

Lance fought Yash in a nail-biting match, but eventually took the win in 2, and then The Links stormed away with it with a strong player sequencing, winning the rest of their matches in 2 legs. Dave made sure to leave them with a little reminder of Wanderer magic, taking his game in 2 legs but The Links won overall 9 to 6.

Premier League Round 1 Full Ladder

Strays 10 vs We’re On 10 Match Stats

Strays were level at the opening handshake and again when the last dart was thrown but at no point in between as We’re On won the first two games of doubles and then pushed out to leads of 6-1 and 8-2.  This was the point at which Strays started their comeback the only way possible: one leg a time, one game at a time.  At 10-8 down with the doubles to come lead pair Frosty and Dave won to take it to the final game before Banz and Ciaran completed to comeback and grabbed a share of the points.

Four wins apiece for Pas who threw 5 140s and a maximum and John, who ticked every box with 3 140s, a 180, a 17 darter and an even 100 peg.  A welcome return to BNSDC for Aaron M who hit 3 140’s and 2 180’s on his We’re On debut.

Four wins on the night for Banz (2 140s and a 180) with three wins each for Frosty (2 140s, a 180 and an 18 darter) and Dave (a whopping 7 140s plus 16 & 18 dart legs).

It’s worth mentioning that a total of 25 140s, 7 180s, 4 low games and 1 high peg were thrown – good darts!

Raptors 9 vs Dragoffs 11 Match Stats

Team debuts on both sides of the book for this one with Corey A and Gabe turning out for Dragoffs and Mark B and Daral for Raptors.  Players both new and old were treated to a thriller with this one going all the way after plenty of ups and downs along the way.  Both teams held the lead at one stage with Raptors edging ahead at 6-5 only for Dragoffs to take 5 from 6 and get within 1 of victory with the doubles to play.  Raptors Corey and Mark ensured the last game would be vital but it was Carlos and Gabe who took it along with the 2 league points.

New boy Mark (4 140s) won 4 times and Corey N three times hitting 5 140s, 2 180s and low games of 16 and 17 darts.

Gabe had a near perfect start to his Dragoffs career with 5 wins and 2 140s, with Carlos and Blags winning three each.

Imports 11 Vs Motley Mustangs 9 Match Stats

It was a new look Imports who grabbed the spoils with Richard W and Matt S making match winning contributions against Motley Mustangs who previously went by the name Red Scorpions.

There was nothing to separate these two teams as they went together from 0-0 to 7-7 before the home team peeled off the last four games of singles to render the games of doubles academic.

For the home team it was 3 wins each for Andy, Matt and Richard who hit a 180 and for the visitors Glen and Willy both won 4 times on the night.

Peeping Toms 4 Vs Scorpions 11 Match Stats

Season 2 2017 champs Scorpions started where they left off with a thumping win against The Toms with Ross (3 wins, a 119 peg, two 18 darters and 4 140s) and Chris G (1 win, 1 140) the only ones able to grab a win.

BA (4 140’s) for the visitors carried his bat with five wins from five with Pat taking 3 out of 4 singles and hitting 4 140s, a 120 peg and a 14 darter.  Brian, Scott (2 140s) and Glen (no 140s but 2 maximums) all won 4 times.

A GRADE Round 1 Full Ladder

Wildcats 6 vs Scorpions “B” 15 Match Stats

A tough opening draw for the Cats with a visit from the Scorpion “B”s.

Nikki (4 tons) and summer signing Kylie (5 tons, 2 140s) both won twice for the home team with Vickii (4 tons, 1 140) and Renita both winning once.

Strength all across the park for the visitors with three wins each for  Hilly (5 tons, 1 140), Tristan (6 tons, 1 140), Joe (5 tons, 1 140) and Grant (8 tons, 1 140) with Darry knocking in a 180 for good measure.

Pinoy Darters 16 vs Dragons 5 Match Stats

The always-dangerous Pinoys took the biscuits in this all-Chermside contest.

Two players went unbeaten for the Filipino boys, Bob (4 wins, 1 ton) and Roger (3 wins, an 18 darter, 7 tons, 2 140s and a 165) with Dom taking 3 singles wins from three with a couple of tons.  Leo got the biggest cheer of the night with a very tidy 118 peg.

Connor (3 wins, 1 140) and Gav (4 tons) leading things for Dragons with 2 wins each. In other news there was a welcome return to BNSDC darts for my former Arrows captain Chadders.  Dave celebrated his return with 3 tons, two of which were of the 140 variety and a win in the doubles with Connor.

Javelins 11 vs Gremlins 10 Match Stats

A new year and some new faces in the Gremlins team: a warm welcome to BNSDC goes out to Jack, Joe, Mark and Steve.  Playing host to them was a very familiar Javelins lineup who once again proved that they know how to win.  On this occasion they delivered the two league points by taking a 2-1 lead in the doubles and then dividing each of the three rounds of singles 3-all.

Leading from the front was Pete with 4 wins and 7 tons, two of which were 140s with three wins each for Bryan (6 tons) and Max (1 ton).

Two Gremlins went undefeated on the night with Steve impressing on debut with 4 wins and 5 tons and Terry (5 tons) winning the three singles games he played.  A mention also to one of the other newcomers who picked up a singles win and hit 4 tons and 2 140s.

Seagulls 14 vs Tossers 7  Match Stats

Seagulls are a new team formed from a few ex-Devils and some other familiar BNSDC faces and they played host to newly promoted Tossers.  In the end they were too good despite trailing 2-1 after the round of doubles.  From there they took each round of singles to complete what was a pretty comfortable win in the end.

A good spread of wins for the home team but none better than captain Christian who won 3 from 3 and fired in 11 tons and a 16 darter.  Of the multiple two time winners a shout out to Steve with 7 tons and 3 140s and Gary with 7 tons and 1 140.  Dave also gets a mention for hitting a 180.

For Tossers Rob kept the scorers busy with 3 wins an 18 darter and 18 (yes eighteen) tons which feels as if it has to be some sort of record – watch this space. Two wins each for Pat (8 tons) and Daniel (7 tons)

Nek Minit 14 vs Nemesis 7  Match Stats

Nek Minit ran out 14-7 winners against Nemesis thanks to everyone chipping in as the team went from strength to strength grabbing two doubles and then 3 from 6, 4 from 6 and finally 5 from 6 in the rounds of singles.

Two NM players won 4 from 4 and there was hardly anything to separate them as Mark hit 7 tons but Shaun pipping him with 8.

For Nemesis Brendan hit the ground running with three singles wins and 8 tons and Julie won twice with a 118 peg.  New face Neil picked up a win and hit 2 tons, 1 140 and his first BNSDC maximum!

B GRADE Round 1 Full Ladder

Wanderers 5 v Jockys 10

Old rivals came back this week in a newly renovated club house at West Mitchelton Rugby League Club. The Jockeys held their form strong over the off season and gave a solid performance taking the win 10 v 5.

The Wanderers made sure to keep them on their toes though and Christian took a win in the doubles round to give the Wanderers a great start to the night. The second round brought the fight from both teams, Ben, Pat and Ian taking singles wins and Tim, Lance and Dave took their singles on the other side. The second round would see a close result of 5 v 4 in favour of the Jockeys.

The Jockeys stormed home though, taking the first 5 singles games to give them the win for the night. Dave made sure to take the last game though for the Wanderers, and finished with a 115 peg.

Notable mention for the night was Ian who scored 5 tons for the evening and took all three of his matches.

Jockeys are on form to have a strong season in the B Grade.

The Links 11 v Mitchelton Mustangs 4

First week back and The Links come out strong taking the first round of doubles. Yash and Nicky opened up with a strong doubles game, taking the first 2 legs to seal the win. Rupen and Ben also helped The Links to take the doubles win and kick the night off to a good start.

The Mustangs were fast to answer back through, Graham and Matt both taking their singles games in 2 legs. Richard had a strong finish to the round and great night of tonnes scoring a 140 and 160 amongst his wins. Second round finished with The Links up 6 to Mustangs 3.

The Links stormed home in the last round winning all singles games bar one thanks to Richard putting up the fight from the Mustangs.

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

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.

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

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.
