Champs pushed but not pushed over

Paky One came as close as anyone to defeating Just Social in the South West Gippsland Dart League last week, but close wasn’t good enough to secure the points.

Last year’s champions kept their undefeated streak alive with the 8-7 victory, led by a big haul from Wolf, but dropped 106 percentage points to reduce its lead at the top of the table to bring them back to the pack.

Despite not getting the desired outcome, Paky One will take plenty from the result, where Shane and Noel threw three tons apiece.

With the same scoreline, a rested and refreshed Rebels outfit made it a first-up win after the bye over Fore, making for a two-game undefeated streak.

Fore, for their part, remain winless in the Summer season, but are yet to receive a major thrashing, unlike fellow battlers Hoodies.

It was Gembrook’s turn to cash in on some crucial percentage over Hoodies, winning 14-1 on the back of Doug’s four tons.

Warriors responded to last week’s loss at the hands of Just Social by thrashing Bullseyes 14-1, with Liam’s five tons leading the charge.

But they were unable to leapfrog Snipers, clinging to second place after a comfortable 11-4 win over 26ers.

Dean and Chris did much of the heavy lifting for the Snipers, throwing five and four tons respectively.

The Darts season will take a one-week break next week before returning to battle on 26 September.

Results R6: Just Social 8 v Paky One 7, Warriors 14 v Bullseyes 1, Rebels 8 v Fore 7, Snipers 11 v 26ers 4, Gembrook 14 v Hoodies 1. Mud Rats – Bye.

Ladder: Just Social 20, Snipers 20, Warriors 20, Gembrook 16, 26ers 12, Pakky One 12, Rebels 8, Mud Rats 8, Bullseyes 4, Fore 0, Hoodies 0.

Fixture R7 (26 September): Warriors (3) v Hoodies (11), Fore (10) v Paky One (6), Snipers (2) v Rebels (7), Bullseyes (9) v Mud Rats (8), Just Social (1) v 26ers (5).
