Just Socials have returned to winning ways in the South West Gippsland Dart League, laying to rest any concerns surrounding their form with a comfortable defeat of Warriors in Round 16.
Having suffered a rare defeat at the hands of Rebels in round 14, before having a bye last week, the ladder leaders were searching for a return to winning form, and found it with an 11-4 thrashing of second-placed Warriors.
Led by Terry’s 180 and Tony’s 108, the top-of-the-table clash did not live up to the hype.
The loss sees the Warriors fall to fourth on the table, while Just Social have a new challenger in second as Paky One ties on 48 points, following their 9-6 win over Bullseyes.
Despite being equal on points, Just Social boast a commanding 108 lead in percentage, a reflection of their dominance in the league this season.
Doing a major service for their percentage was Snipers, who took out The Hoodies 15-0.
Tim threw a 180 for the Snipers to lead the charge and Sarah threw a highest peg with 87.
Snipers are one of three sides sitting pretty on 44 points, joining Warriors and 26ers.
26ers, for their part, are riding high on a five-game winning streak.
Their latest victim: Gembrook, who they vanquished 12-3.
A thriller between Fore and Mud Rats saw the former grab their third win of the season, squeaking home 8-7 in a battle between two of the competition’s lower-ranked sides.
Another top-of-the-table clash between Just Social and Paky One highlights the round 17 fixture, while Snipers will have the opportunity to bring 26ers winning form to a close.
