Just Social is right on target for an undefeated season in the South West Gippsland Dart League (SWGDL) after an emphatic 12-3 round-15 victory over Paky One.
Just Social, based out of Kooweerup, is now just three wins away from entering this season’s finals series without suffering a dent to its bodywork after treating the fourth-ranked team in the competition with complete disdain.
Just Social face two tough engagements over the next fortnight, against third-placed Warriors and second-placed Snipers, before a round-18 contest against seventh-placed Bullseyes.
It was Terry from Just Social who set the scene for the dominant display against Paky, throwing a brilliant nine tons for the night to take his season’s tally to 68.
Terry sits in third place, behind Dean from Snipers – who now has 103 tons for the season – and Aaron, also from the Snipers, on 72.
Warriors tuned up for their big game against Just Social this week with a hard-fought 9-6 victory over Rebels.
Warriors, third, are level on points with second-placed Snipers and still a major threat to finish top-two and gain a coveted double-chance ahead of the finals series that begins on 25 October.
In other round-15 results, Snipers had a thumping 13-2 victory over Mud Rats, while Bullseyes jumped from ninth to seventh on the ladder with a commanding 12-3 triumph over bottom-placed Fore.
And Gembrook produced one of its best performances of the season, with the now ninth-placed Brookers scoring a monumental 10-5 win over Wizards.
The loss for the fifth-placed Wizards means the top-four is locked and loaded with three rounds remaining in the season.
Spectators are most welcome to attend the Tuesday-night matches in the SWGDL, with games beginning at 7.30pm at the home of darts – the Cardinia Club in Pakenham.
