Gembrook onto a winner

Lillee and Thomson, Jordan and Pippin, Warne and McGrath… Nugget and Doug?

Gembrook may have struck gold with the pairing of Nugget and Doug this season in the South West Gippsland Dart League.

The combination has thrown 17 tons in the first two weeks of the competition, to sit second on the tons leaderboard a fortnight into the summer, the most of any pairing in the competition to date.

After falling just short to Paky One in the opening week of fixtures, Gembrook responded with a 10-5 win over Mud Rats.

Despite Keith from Mud Rats throwing the highest peg of the week with 102, three tons from Nugget and four from Doug secured the four points for Gembrook.

Snipers are two wins from two starts, having got the better of Paky One 8-7.

Seven tons from Tim led the way for Snipers in a victory that could become crucial later in the season.

Warriors also prevailed in an even contest, defeating Rebels 9-6.

Just Social made the Hoodies start to the season a tough one, winning 14-1 thanks to a 100 peg from Tony to bank crucial percentage.

Likewise, 26ers thrashed Bullseyes 13-2, to move to second on the table on percentage.

Results R2: Gembrook 10 v Mud Ruts 5, Warriors 9 v Rebels 6, Snipers 8 v Paky One 7, Just Social 14 v Hoodies 1, 26ers 13 v Bullseyes 2.

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

Fixture R3: Gembrook (5) v Fore (8), Mud Rats (9) v Paky One (6), Snipers (3) v Warriors (4), Rebels (7) v Just Social (1), Hoodies (11) v 26ers (2). Bullseyes – Bye.
