The stage is set for a magnificent division one grand final in the South West Gippsland Dart League (SWGDL) after Just Social booked a place in the big dance with an emphatic 8-2 victory over Warriors.
Meanwhile, in division two, the Wizards became the inaugural winners of the Don Brown Memorial Shield after surviving a cracking grand final contest against the Rebels.
Every leg was hard-fought at the Railway Hotel in Warragul, with the Wizards finally prevailing 8-7 in a heart-stopping finish to the season.
Scores were locked at 7-all, but a double-two peg-out saw the Wizards become the first division two champions in the SWGDL.
All 10 teams played in the same competition this season, with the top-four teams forming division one for finals, with teams five-through-eight competing for the division two title.
Wizards were well-deserved winners; finishing fifth on the ladder with the Rebels close behind in sixth place.
With their confidence now up, both teams will look to climb into the top-four when the next season of the SWGDL begins in the coming weeks.
But there is still one massive game to be played before the current season come to an end, with Just Social now taking on Snipers for this year’s trophy.
Just Social proved too strong for the Warriors in the preliminary final, but will need to turn around a recent loss to Snipers in the second semi-final at the Cardinia Club in Pakenham.
The grand final is a rematch of the most recent grand final played, where Just Social won 8-6 in a gripping encounter.
The SWGDL would like to thank the Cardinia Club in Pakenham for their great support throughout the current season of darts.
