Three teams enjoyed their first wins of the season in round three of the South West Gippsland Dart League (SWGDL) while the top-four cemented their claims as early premiership contenders.
The action was hot right across the SWGDL, with tons thrown for fun and many teams having their highest peg outs for the season smashed to smithereens.
Amongst a long list of contenders, Cheers produced the most impressive performance of the round; defeating Mud Rats 12-3 in a match up between two previously undefeated sides.
Liam Edwards was in great touch for Cheers, throwing seven tons and landing a 116-peg, while his teammate Shane also fired in seven triple-figure scores.
Snipers also kept its unbeaten record intact with a 10-5 win over AAA Dartz.
Dean Gibbs was once again phenomenal for Snipers, throwing eight tons which included a classy 110-finish.
Tim was also on fire for Snipers, while Ted Jordan continued his fine season for AAA with three tons for the evening.
Also flying high at the moment is Just Social; commanding 13-2 winners over Dart Attack.
The skills of Terry, Tony and 4X4 proved too much for Dart Attack to handle, with Tony really dialled in with six tons on the night.
And Predators remain the fourth undefeated team after a 10-5 victory over Dart Vaders.
It was a big round three for Fight Club, who chalked up its first win for the season with a dominant 11-4 win over Dart Devils.
Brad Allan was the star of the show for Fight Club, taking his season tally to 10 tons and putting a line through one winning leg with a spectacular 111 finish.
Doug Amos continues to be a shining light for the Devils, throwing three centuries and landing a quality 89-checkout.
Fight Club’s new and improved form will be put to the ultimate test in round four against top-of-the-table Cheers.
Another team celebrating its first triumph of the season is Bullseyes, who scraped home with an 8-7 victory over Gembrook.
Bullseyes had an extremely tough draw to start the year, against Cheers and Snipers, and relished the opportunity to get a win on the board.
Stephen had a big influence on the match with a high-pressure 42 peg, while Wombat responded for Gembrook with a 66-finish to a leg.
And Any Excuse is also on the board after a 9-6 win over Generals.
Tye was exceptional for the winners, throwing a 112 checkout, while Brendan was consistent throughout the night with his scoring power.
