The two best teams for the season will go head-to-head for the Mountain Dart League Division 1 title on Friday night after Bad Boys produced a stunning preliminary final performance against Bulls Eyes.
With ladder-leaders High 5’s already qualified for the final after an 11-9 victory over Bad Boys a week earlier, it was left to Bad Boys to get the job done against Bulls Eyes to set up a mouth-watering decider.
And that’s exactly what the Bad Boys did, taking the early running against Bulls Eyes and cruising home to an impressive 11-3 victory.
Steve Duke gave the Bad Boys a boost with a classy 180; a total matched by Steve Carr and Dean Sherson, who finished off the season in spectacular style for Bulls Eyes.
It’s now ‘game on’ with High 5’s and Bad Boys set for a thrilling decider at Elliott Road on Friday night.
In Division 2, Bandits finished on top of the ladder but have been bundled out in straight sets after an 11-9 loss to Outcasts in the preliminary final.
Outcasts finished fourth on the ladder, but have now defeated Black Bulls in the elimination final and Bandits in the prelim to set up a shot at Spectrum in this week’s grand final.
The preliminary final had everything, with Steve Hand pulling a massive 140 and Nathan Wright keeping it cool with a sharp 93 peg-out.
And finally, in Division 3, Madarras will seek retribution over Redbacks 2 after scoring a powerful 11-3 victory over The Goodies.
Jordan Russell dazzled with a 135 score and an electric 120 peg, while Dennis Grose hit a stunning bull-peg of 84!
Consistent 100-plus scoring from Michael Bignell, Ian Cole, Michael Stanton, Duke Sharma, and Rachel Grose showed just how deep the talent runs.
