Paky One has sent a message to the rest of the South West Gippsland Dart League with a shock 10-5 upset win over Warriors.
A combined nine tons from dynamic duo Noel (five) and Shane (four) saw Paky One leap Gembrook into fourth place on the table and inflict the Warriors just their second loss of the campaign, despite a monster eight-ton performance from Liam that saw him reclaim his spot at the top of the Tons leaderboard.
It was a missed opportunity for the Warriors, who could have snatched second place from Snipers, who had their bye this week.
The Warriors’ loss and Just Social’s 12-3 win over Gembrook, however, saw the ladder leader move a game clear of the chasing pack.
Wolf was vicious for Just Social, throwing his second 180 of the season and a peg of 108.
The remainder of results in round eight went largely to script.
Mud Rats climbed one place to sixth after a 15-0 clean sweep of Hoodies, trading places with the 26ers despite their 12-3 defeat of Fore.
Meanwhile, Stephen’s Bullseyes snuck home 8-7 against Thom’s Rebels.
Just three weeks of competition remain before the Winter season’s finals get underway, with nine of the 11 sides eligible for finals action.
