A further highlight was added to the undefeated South West Gippsland Darts League (SWGDL) season of Just Social last week with a perfect 170-peg out guiding the ladder-leaders to a 9-6 victory over Rebels.

Dale, who held the previous highest checkout of 158, hit the highest possible finish in darts with a brilliant treble 20 -treble 20 -bullseye finish to the leg.

Round 13 provided some high-quality darts with Dale’s extraordinary finish being complemented by a 104-peg out by Scott from the Mud Rats, while Aaron and Dean from Snipers were in terrific touch, hitting 10 and eight tons respectively.

And to cap off a great night at the oche, Thom from the Rebels hit his third 180 for the season!

With just one round remaining before finals, Just Social and Snipers are locked into first and second place, with Warriors only needing to avoid a whitewash against Middels to keep its place in the top four.

But the huge clash of round 14 sees fourth-placed Paky One and fifth-placed Rebels battling it out for the one remaining finals place.

The winner will march on and take on Warriors in the first semi-final, while the loser will tuck away the tungsten for another year.

Spectators and darts enthusiasts are most welcome to attend the last round of competition and this year’s finals series.
