Jazz and Hank’s Warriors have taken top spot on the South West Gippsland Dart League ladder as one of two remaining undefeated sides of the summer season.

With Just Social having the week off due to their bye, the extra game the Warriors have played saw them move to 16 premiership points, thanks to a 10-5 win over Gembrook.

Liam threw five tons for last season’s runner up to tie with Snipers’ Tim at the top of the leading ton thrower list, and Ant threw three, as did Gembrook’s Doug, who threw one peg of 110 in the process.

Mud Rats inflicted 26ers first loss of the campaign with a shock 9-6 victory to secure its first victory of the new season, as they look to build momentum into the summer campaign.

It’s just reward for the Rats’ early season form, who fell one point short the week before against Paky One.

Snipers responded to last week’s heart-breaking loss to Warriors by thrashing Fore 11-4 , with Tim leading the way with three tons, taking his total to 17 for the season.

Bullseyes thrashed Hoodies 12-3 to claim a first win of the season, leaving just their vanquished opponents and Fore as the only winless sides.

As did Rebels, who got the better of Paky One 9-6.

Warriors’ tussle with Just Social headlines a huge slate of fixtures.
