Family affair as Richardson’s rollick in the spotlight

Bill and Chris Richardson stole the spotlight in round five of the Mountain Dart League on Friday night with the husband-and-wife combination both throwing stunning 180s in Division 1.

Bill also threw a magnificent 110-pegout to lead Noble Park (1) to a dominant 17-4 victory over Out Casts.

Greg Rondinella also had the radar dialled in, throwing a maximum 180 for Redbacks (1), who went down 15-6 to Bullseyes.

The Bullseyes were once again well served by James Johnson, who threw a rock-solid 106 pegout to give his team the upper hand.

The game between Rebels and The Chiefs went down to the wire with Rebels holding on 11-10 in the closest match of the night.

Brian Pacey filled the treble-20 for the Rebels, but Troy Gray guided The Chiefs to victory with a maximum 180 and a quality 97 finish.

And High 5’s maintained its perfect start to the season, winning 16-5 against Check Out, despite Ngametua Tangatakino throwing his second 180 for the season.
