First up was Double top against the struggling spears. Dan who now had his sights firmly set on 6th place and automatic qualification to the championship finals now had a bigger goal, to beat his brother in the league standings! Brett must of took note from last week, the shed was cleared, the atmosphere was set and the lad who just cant seem to get a break at the moment looked up for this one. The once feared throwing machine was finding it hard to scrape any kind of results from the past few games and now seemed to be content with a qualificaton knockout place. The game started at a ferocious pace with dan hitting out the game of his life. Brett seemed powerless as dan swept brett aside to take the win and also cement a 6th place league standing with only a handful of games left.
Next up The destroyer vs Rock n' Roll. Belly now starting to feel the pressure of the chasing pack could not afford to let this one slip. With mart and jase having games in hand belly had to take maximum points and try to leave the gap at the top sustainable. With half cooked performances the previous weeks bellys been finding it hard to show the form that made him season favourite but has still been picking up the points with 7 out of a possible 8. Lee on the other hand had been enjoying his darts, undefeated in 3 games, he saw this as the ideal opportunity to close up on the leading 4 and put pressure on the guys near the top. A win here would propel him upto 16 pts, 1 point behind Lethal with a game in hand and would also reduce the gap between him and belly to 4pts with a game in hand. Well I got there half way through the game to find lee winning 2-1. Bellys new darts still were'nt doing the business and after what seemed an eternity for belly, lee ran out a 4-1 winner leaving belly top but with jase and mart still to play for how long? Lee now distancing himself from 6th place will now fancy an outside chance of getting his hands on this years championship.
Shmo-key vs Scared a you next. This was seen as a formality, a guaranteed win, a walk in the park for mart (69). Undefeated in 11 games, banging in a 48 ave last week, the crowd anticipated this as a decapitation of shmo-key, the final nail in richs coffin. Mart desperately needed these points, especially with belly losing, this game would see him go top with a game in hand for the first time this season. Rich was still looking for his first win. He had taken large scalps before, drawing against belly, but no-one could see him taking any kind of result from mart. Still hogging bottom place in the league rich must have seen this as damage limitation. Well we couldn't of been more wrong. Mart crumbling and shaking bowed down to shmokey for rich to record another draw against a big gun. Rich ecstatic at the result but not as much as jase who saw this as a massive boost to his championship challenge. Mart on the other hand was left licking his wounds and pondering if that was the chance he needed to help claim the league.
The hammer vs the brickie was next on the agenda. Jase seeing his league chances given an almighty boost saw this as the ideal opportunity to take back top spot and with a game up next as well, bolster his credentials and league challenge. Mickey was coming into this game with some form himself. Undefeated in 3 games, mick saw this as a game to close up on 6th place. The 50 quiders had started doing the business, but could they take a big scalp? No unfortunately micks finishing let him down as he fell to a 4-0 loss but with no game under 23 darts saw this as a missed opportunity where as jase was just pleased for the win and top spot in the league again.
Last game saw the bachelor vs the hammer. Pablo with 2 wins out of 3 games could close the gap on the brickie and get himself out of the bottom 3 for the first time this season. With only a few games left, time is not on his hands as pablo was still looking at 6th place and needed this win to put pressure on the boys above. Well it didnt materialize with jase winning 4-0, cementing top spot and now surely has his eyes set on winning the league by winning 2 of his remaining 3 fixtures.
